Aside from that, the Holy avenger in Hof is a much more potent sword, coming in at 1d8+10 and better magic resistance. That's if you want to go for it; the followers are, of course, much more deadly in this difficulty.
Also, I don't think your first level monk will gain levels very quickly. Since most of the group are veterans, they won't get much for the gobbies in Targos.
