| Protect yourself from harpy songs and the like. In the courtyard, get yourself into a protective formation ASAP. Don't forget to have your best tank a couple of steps forward to act as primary target. Use spells to stun/enchant non-undead monsters. Holy Word has a spellcasting time of 1, and Chaos sets the harpies to fighting each other.
The Crypt shouldn't be too bad if you can keep most of your group together - use Turn Undead for some (hopefully) easy kills.
Spectral Guards are tough. Get yourself into a doorway and block it, either with a tough summons or a slashing-immune character. Then go to town with spells and missiles. Send a tank (preferably with speed boots and/or a potion of invisibility) to draw attention from more guards, and be very careful about straying from the doorway.
