I am struggling. Only have Shadowheart and my PC at level 3.

I killed the priestess inside the silence spell but she managed to walk out and call for help on her last turn.
I then unlocked the underdark but don’t want to explore that yet.
Now I have found the drow and the hobgoblin but they are surrounded by all the minons and I can’t take a fight. SHould I keep exploring? I found the cave below the spiders but haven’t gone in yet, had to restart that save because it was in battle and I yeeted myself off the cliff to avoid more dudes.
I love this game. As a BG1/2 fanboy and an overall hater of turn based games I felt betrayed when Larian got the IP and turned it into a Divinity clone, but I am having so much fun. It is like I am playing 5e by myself. Also talking to all the animals is so great.
Thanks that is probably my problem. I thought the game funneled me here but I probably just need to explore more.
Larian games tend to highly reward thorough exploration with much needed XP and quality gear.
Not exploring an area 100% counts as a punishment because you missed out on XP, gear and NPCs that could definitely help.
Huge portions of the game are set behind exploration so definitely comb the map.
