One thing that a lot of people overlook is that you don't have to take your whole party up & down stairs at the same time. So, instead of dragging all 6 up to Karoug's level at once (with a good chance of putting Dynaheir in a great position to be turned into dog meat), you could send your Thief up first to scout and maybe disarm a couple of Traps, then send in the Tanks. Once the head of the stairs is relatively clear, bring up the casters.
It IS possible to steal the sword right out from under Karoug's nose, if you know your Thievery.
