After trying out a high persuasion and streetwise Loremaster in Teron, I decided that I would save the high perception/intellect/charisma build for a later playthrough and play as a "dumb muscle" character the first time around, with a couple of point in streetwise/persuasion so that the character is not a complete fool.
My current build is an offense-oriented mercenary (7/9/9/7/4/4), with levels 6 in Sword and CS. My problem is that I don't know how to deal with the Aurelian outpost. I bought the stronger poison and killed the leader using CS in the dialog, but I am barely able to defeat the three remaining soldiers, let alone the five men in the mine. I must have tried this battle twenty times.
My character is wearing a legionary armor and I tried using both a scimitar and a gladius and shield (and a dori in a spear build). I tried using nets, too. So how is a combat-focused character supposed to deal with the outpost? Is it a quest only for loremasters/grifters? I have level 3 in Streetwise and Persuasion, so I could deal with Esbenus without fighting his raiders. Should I have focused on combat entirely?
