Lol, I’m pretty sure that it wouldn’t have even phased him at that level. I preferred casting direct damage force/sonic spells. One shot the big bad was my favorite tactic, and the DM claimed he was trying to make the encounters hard to deal with. If I let anything live for more than one turn of hostilities, they probably would have been.
Use your first round to cast Slow on the Monk.

I mean, one shotting you ally monk also works to stop them from stealing initiative but it feels a little chaotic evil.
