Send your best Archer up while in shadows and wearing boots of speed. Shoot the beasts to the south with arrows of fire. After each shot run back down stairs. 5-8 should do it.
I have also backstabbed the mage/beast as it draws near the ladder.
Another stategy is to summon lots of help. Get them between you and danger then with a Wand of the Heavens pummel the greater beast into submission!
I agree that this level is difficult.
