The first time I played, the trip from the monastery to Arnika was almost deserted. Sounds like the original poster met with some bad luck.
This can be compounded if after one fight you rest - because while you rest, monsters are still roaming around (and new ones are spawning).
A good thing to get used to in this game is *avoidance*. Don't feel you have to fight everything you see. Move out of the way, hide behind something, whatever, if you need to.
Having gotten to Arnika fairly easily, I can attest to these statements being true.
Sometimes I feel so cheated!

I am loving the game!
