At the goblin camp, I wormed and BSed my way into the ruined temple on the way to killing the three Absolute leaders. I rescued Volo and Halsin, and figured I'd postpone exploring the Underdark off of Priestess Gut's area for later.

Turns out that's where Halsin sends me.


So at any rate, I need to get back at the temple through the goblin camp. But now when I approach the temple, every goblin from the outdoor area up and attacks me en masse. There are probably at least fifteen of them, which makes for rather slow combat. I tried teleporting into the goblin camp waypoint: that led to a very difficult fight. I tried just going through the blighted village, which is NOT hostile, and making a stand at the goblin gate, but so far I am eventually overrun by the horde of them. This includes the ogre (?) who guarded the temple door, and who is a big stack of hit points. My party is now level 4. I can do a fair amount of damage to the army but I eventually get worn down.

Is there a way to get past there without fighting them all at once? Can the spider well take me there? Or do I just have to keep trying until I get all the luck, or just grind elsewhere until I get a few more levels on this fight?
