You can enter the fort at level 1.

And you can pretty much leave the fort without even fighting anyone...

I suggest you learn how to position yourself before a fight, lure enemies to more advantageous grounds, prepare traps for the enemies(barrels) before starting a fight.
Focus fire 1 at a time.
You can dmg and bunch up enemies if you teleport 1 of them on another.
Use grenades if your dmg is too low, you can make them with broken bottles or nails.
You can run from battles after killing a few.
Look at the enemies armor to see if the enemies are easier to be stunned/frozen or knocked down so that they cant attack.
You can get a free hit if you initiate the fight before ending the dialogue.
Healing potions are really easy to make if you dont have healing spells, there are some other good potions to look for, mostly just combine any plant with a empty potion bottle to see the result.
You have plenty of advantages to use against the enemies, plz dont just rush in there blindly.



This is the problem. The advice you've just given wouldn't look out of place in in a guide for a difficult mid game or end game scenario, but this is the start of the game we're talking about!

To ask this much of players this early in the game is unreasonable no matter how challenging the game is supposed to be and is just bad design.
