Took the back route with hero/henchmen; minion master, defensive anthem paragon, and restoration/communing hero. Took the protector henchmen for a second copy of shield's up (was using my warrior who also had Watch Yourself @ 12 tactics), then the two monk henchmen and earth henchmen. I really didn't have a lot of offense, but it was enough to take down any drops that had a monk.
Once I killed one group of five warriors, it was enough to start making an army for the MM. From there, it was just a matter of taking the groups as I encountered them. Pre-casting all spirits on my ritualist (Life, Union, Shelter, Pain, Shadowsong), defensive anthem, ward against melee... takes a lot without the aid of turtles to take down the groups without deaths.
