LOL!!!
I am NOT Bradley! If I were there wouldn't be so many posters on this board who are much better informed about some of the aspects of this game than I and there are many such posters!
It is the Barbarian that is best to take out on his own so he/she can get the necessary kills to fulfill the Barbarian ascention quest.
The monk to be you can take out with your party, they just have to do without all their goodies. Going out and doing a whole dungeon should eat up the required time - save before entering Ishad N'ha and if he/she hasn't made it to monk yet, reload your saved game from before entering the town.
Hope you are monked soon!!!
