Ouch, i didnt realy realize that game was that unforgiving if you mess up somewhere, i'm actualy experiencing the oposite after level 10-11 fights just get easier and easier for me, the only fight i had trouble in zone2 so far was in a place a bunch of goblins were sleeping (around 10 dudes?) and i woke them up because i felt overconfident lol.... that went south realy fast but i gathered it was hard on purpose to make you care about not waking them up, like an obstacle you cared not to cross.
Friendly tip: Using featherfall on them doesn't wake them up. Use that how you like.
I put them a big pile and instantly killed them with a fireball+deadly spores combo. Made hard save for it too, because it was fucking glorious.
