Agree with all the above, wanted to mention a couple helpful hints:

-You can pause in mid battle by hitting your inventory key. Click and drag health potions to use them. Your health won't go up until you return to play, but unlike scrolls or healing spells, the potion will take effect by itself.

-Its a very good idea to work on a ranged weapon skill ASAP: being able to knock a couple of hp off an enemy before he can range you can make all the difference.

-for these early too-tough battles, consider getting your hands on a summoning item or scroll: just giving your opponents something else to whack is great.

-the egg poachers are just inside a 'load' door, IIRC. That means you can go in, do some damage, step back out, and they can't follow you. Heal, switch weapons, whatever, before going back in. They will be waiting just in side the door, but they won't heal or anything while you are gone.

-I LOVE having my weapons keyed to the mouse wheel: scroll the wheel to switch weapons, fast and easy.

But since we are all in repeaty mode, the egg poachers aren't intended to be taken on at level one. Click 'level' in the attributes section of your inventory screen, see how far you have to go for your next level: I'm honestly a little surprised you've gotten this far without leveling a couple of times, if only accidently.
