There’s no point in wandering around further.
Observation:
1) It’s better to get to the tavern outside the city (in front of the Portmayron Castle) as quickly as possible; there are cool items there – so go there EVERY DAY (before battles in the lighthouse, the thieves’ den, the Portmayron Castle, clearing territories; if you slept, then on the way back – buy ONLY cool artifacts)
2) An elf archer with 2 swords deals more damage than a barbarian and a dwarf (what will “Dancing with Blades” do?)
