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.
They make it seem like it's imperative that you get to Halsten right away. I was afraid to even take a long rest when I started playing. If you go any direction other than the one they try to funnel you into, then you miss all of the companions. I did the same thing and was getting absolutely bodied at the Goblin Camp. Go back and find some companions and the fights will be 200% easier.
