Everyone should be able to cast level six spells or higher... Lower Resistance, Bolt of Glory, and Holy Smite take that thing out faster than Bahamut's sneezes travel. The rest of it isn't terribly difficult... If you have no moral qualms towards cheese, I suggest you also pick up the Cheese Wedge... er, the Shield of Balduran. Also make sure you have lots of gold... There are several items that you'll want to pick up during your stay. The Rod of Smiting comes to mind, as do scrolls.
Remember, you only need to defeat one powerful foe for Ardulace. You can come back and clear out the other tunnels when you're stronger.
