I think I must have missed something fundamentally here...

I kinda "skipped" the mines a bit and.. well, you know how it goes, killing spider queens here, and cultists there...

so.. they are immortal and kill you with 3 hits... what am I supposed to do here?

I unlocked the mining office and got into a shuffle with the inhabitants there, which sort of ended up with everyone dead (goblins et al). I killed the necromancer totem and the cultists there too and got the temple password (Not quite sure what temple they mean though)

So basically everything left in this mine is the death knights... and I would really like to walk about without them.. how?
