I started playing Lands of Lore 1 with Ak'Shel. I managed to explore the first forest area, kill the thugs and the boars before taking the boat.
Now, in the second forest area, with Timothy, I just keep dying in front of orcs and giant Lizards. I can case my spell at level 3 to kill an orc, but after that, I'm left with too little MP to cast anything else than a level 1, and I deal too little damage with my dagger to win any encounter. I do take rests between fights to regain my MPs and HPs. Timothy doesn't seem very efficient either in combat... Consuming Aloe leaves is next to useless, considering how little HPs they restore...
What am I doing wrong? Should I flee, rest, and attack again? Is it unrealistic at this stage to hope win an encounter in one go?
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to put a LOL1 tag in the topic line...
EDIT2: Well, I'm not sure how I can reply to myself, so I just edit my own post. Aftter viewing a video on Youtube (sorry, can't post links...), I realised you can actually throw rocks at the enemies! I feel absolutely stupid for not thinking of that. This changes everything as I now understand more clearly the dynamics of the encounters in this game, and how it's meant to be played. A quick test allowed me to easy-ishly kill two orcs and a lizard in a row. Problem solved!
