I would go to the underdark through Gut's room. Solving the Selune puzzle gives you some XP and you can descend to the chapel and find a nice armoour for Shadowheart without leaving the "safe" area. You'll also find a waypoint so you can easily return there later.
Then go back to the surface to finish business there first. Or you can face the minotaurs for some extra XP. It's possible to kill them at lvl 4,if you prepare your troops tactically. Maybe you need to lose one time to learn how to prepare.
