i typically leave marten til last, just before going to AP, since i dont like to wear the helm (too many better choices). as such, with parties in the low 20's, i've found marten to be a pretty easy kill.
however, i've never used a magic heavy party for this purpose - only melee heavy or balanced parties. two recent ones were a fighter, lord, valkyrie, bard, bishop party, and the ninja, monk, rogue party.

i've never gotten anything from marten other than death shroud and a few hundred thousand experience. and the only way to attack him is by engaging during the conversation, so he wont give you the sea caves key to let you use the shortcut out. it's not a long walk, but it can be tedious, so killing marten is, imo, of dubious value.
