That teleporter pad will be activated once you click on all 3 pyramids (don't recall if you have to defeat the summoned monsters), which will bring you close to the exit. However, you can also just keep heading west to reach it. Here is a
map of that level (the lower levels of the dungeon are optional, and you can return when you are stronger, and have your teleporter stones back).
There are health and mana shrines in the dungeon, which refill after awhile, so you can clear a few monsters, retreat to heal, get a little further, etc.
In the castle did you wash the dishes for the cook? If so, the strange spice bottle he gave you is actually a shadow potion, which would allow you to sneak past some opponents (until you got too close to a light source or had to open a door). A frog statuette can also be used to run past a lot of the monsters (other statuettes will at least change your alignment, so you may be able to walk by without getting attacked).
Hit and run tactics with a bow could help you to defeat stronger opponents while limiting your chances of taking damage.
Do you have any spare skill points?
The skill Survivor's Instinct will allow you to slowly regenerate your health. It would be a bit of a pain waiting after battle if you took a lot of damage, but I found the skill to be handy to top off hit points when returning to base to drop off loot or checking with merchants, etc.
If you cast Heaven's Gift until you run out of mana, a regular restoration potion (or a health and mana potion combined with Alchemy) will fully refill your mana, leaving everything else created as profit. You need level 2 or 3 of Heaven's Gift to get regular potions, but as long as you start with a reasonable amount of mana, you should be able to cast the spell repeatedly, and (slowly) build up a supply of potions.
Once you have a couple health or restoration potions, there is a cheat you can use to get more.
To duplicate any items that can be stacked, drag a stack out of (or into) your inventory (or container) and hold down the control key before dropping. This will bring up the split stack window; type in a negative number and hit enter (the checkmark will be greyed out). This can also be done in the trade window.
