Step 1. Check the vendors for equipment. If your weapon isn't up to snuff any level difference is merciless.
Step 2. Try solving non-combat quests in Driftwood for XP.
Step 3. Revamp your tactics; focus your damage dealers on the weakest links.
Step 4. If all else fails there's a mirror on the ship that lets you respec your characters free of charge; if you see any issues with your build that's where to go.
Step 5. git gud I guess?
Act 2 is pretty rough early on, just try to scrape up XP where you can and look for the weakest enemies to pick away at. If you go to the graveyard there should be plenty of exploration XP to get.
