I started this game in nightmare mode and I can't even get past the first room. The character only starts out with one healing potion and some elven ale along with the sword and wand. There just seem to be too many monsters to hack through regardless of how I combine the use of these items. On the off chance that someone has played this game on nightmare, am I missing a strategy for getting past this area?

Never played but sometimes on games like that its wise to initially just run past the enemies and continue on until you get some gear. Try avoiding them initially?

I've thought that too, but the trouble is that when you initially open the door to the room, they immediately come and start blocking it until you kill them. It's also turn-based, so if you do get a space available to get through the door and start slowly making your way toward the potion or (healing) meat that is all the way across the room, they just hit you in the back until you die only a couple or three more steps in. That's only assuming that they don't immediately surround you and then start hitting you three at a time. There has to be a way though!
