I wasn't counting when I did beat Murky (on the third try) but it took a heck of a lot of attacks with my Assassins at around 450 a pop and my spellcasters at 128 each per round. Every time I figured that would be it, it kept taking more and more. Basically just keep on hitting and hitting. If you can get *to* him, you're likely close to the strength you need to beat him.

Also, see earlier threads where Sam explains how to minimize your chances of getting paralyzed by Murkon. That advice came too late for me, and I beat him with my top Assassin flat on his ass.
