Also give him ring of regen to heal those 1hp damage hits he'll get from trampling.

Trampling ignores shield parry, it only works against "real" defense. So, ironically, a Main-Gauche of Parrying is better against trampling than a Shield of Gleaming Gold is. I think a Vine Shield + Elf Bane or Crusherknack is probably your best bet for a thug, though. Can MA Ermor forge Vine Shields? Trampling is a pretty poor attack against a thug anyway so you should survive long enough to get some good licks in.

Otherwise, yeah, single-target spells are a good option. Does MA Ermor still have Augur Elders? If so, they can also spam Incinerate at Alt 5. I can't remember what else is available, except obviously Disintegrate at Alt 8. With all your death mages, Disintegrate should be pretty awesome, although the range is short.
