Hmmm, I would really miss the archmagi in your position, even if there are only a few available at this point. They are perfect throughout the game, as they reduce the damage your tank will take by half. With a similar party as a Paladin I managed to take the verona map from bolo by dual-tanking (no target spell) - putting the paladins and the cyclopses in the line of fire and backing them up with magic shield and ranged units. It was a pain though... I had only healing lvl 1 at that time. The most important thing was to do the fight without losing a cyclops and/or more than 2 paladins.
I don't really know what kind of advice to offer... Try to kite some map guards if you can and sneak into new territories. That may help you fix the monetary problem.
