I just did this yesterday. It's a tough fight for sure. I did it in 2, with only 1 corpse on my team when the dust settled. What I did was concentrate my parties firepower on one target at a time, starting with their spell casters and finishing with their fighters. If one of my folks started to take too much heat, I would run them around until I could return the favor. My party is similar to yours with a Paladin instead of a Monk, and a Cleric instead of a Druid.

Good Luck,

I defeated the guardians without any losses, but I did have to reload three times. My advice is buff with anything at your disposal (including Improved Invisibility) and before you fight, read the related part at the GameBanshee walkthrough. It has a great desription of every guardian's strengths and weaknesses (some of them are nearly immune or immune to some type of damage, but easily go down with another or with spells). Once you learn all that, click the grave, pause when they appear, and issue the right orders. If you split your forces too much (eg. one party member attacking one enemy), you'll die. Keeping in mind what the walkthrough says, focus fire with three members against one enemy, and the other three on another. And don't be afraid to run (you should do A LOT of running around), as long as there is always another party member hacking away.

Take out the spellcasters first, especially the woman on the lower side, she brings up tons of high level undead. Make sure to attack the fighters with weapons that are actually able to hurt them.
