Sorry,not Northeast.It's East or Southeast and the creatures big,red and either spin around or shoot energy at me.Thanks for replying.
I would suggest going into the Battlefields to build up a bit, including increasing your potion supplies. The merchants there should be able to sell you more.
The Fire Elementals (Big red spinning things) are usually teamed up with Fire Demons (Shoot beams). If you run past the (Slow moving) Elemental, you should be able to kill the Fire Demon so it can't shoot you any more while you fight the Elemental.
If all else fails, skip out to the Battlegrounds in the middle of the fight and wait for your HP to regenerate...
