Well that's kinda the price you pay for not listening to the warning :V at least it's only 8 hours in, not 20.
Just follow the step I gave you on what to do for the quests and leveling with no minimal combat (only 1 migo fight) and you are almost level 4 anyway. Don't forget to kill them. You should kill them because they are magister and they WILL try to kill you after you escape fort joy or win the arena and get your collars removed. Unless the game outright have them running away and disappearing for good, never trust a magister.
