I found the trick was to be "fleet of foot". I won it several times, but found this method the easiest.

1st battle: Head SE right away to avoid the initial spell barrage. Kill the mage who is out of sight. Then swing back and pick off all the remaining peons. Run around and let time remove their protection spells. Then wound one of them enought to stop the battle. (to delay, use monster decoys, etc.)

2nd battle: Same thing. After you kill the initial guys, run around and wait for some of the protection spells to wear off. Then do the "doorway" trick, where you stand on the other side of the door and let only one through at a time. M was easier to kill than I. If he starts to wound one of your guys too much, have him run away and heal himself.

Oh, there are 2 more boots of speed you can loot from the 1st battle. This helps a lot in wearing them out. Concentrate all your attacks on one guy only.
