I too am enjoying the combat difficulty- use you spells & scrolls wisely - take out the dangerous opponents use grease, ice, flame, sleep & sometimes the dice just don’t go your way.
I lost 2 of 4 characters at goblin gate - reloaded changed the route & took higher ground - kicked butt.
I know a balance is required & we all likely have differing tactics & views but nobody wants a cake walk for combat - just the right level to be challenging without entirely rage quitting level 😉
