Like Wereboar I do the same as the party is generally too weak at this point. The path to avoid most monsters wotks out to be E over bridge past little ravine, S, then E again. I avoid combat this way more than 90% time. "Surrounded by them" means forget it, do the multiple rest thing. Never played IM, but I guess it's the challenge. You want a reasonable one, not sadistic.
