You could move on and go back later to that area. I cleaned out that town of orcs in the north in one visit. I think I was around level 20 then and already had orcish armor from previous exploring. I also have a real nice dwenmer sword I enchanted that dishes out 5-25 electric damage. It wasn't my intention to clear out the town, but each house I entered, they immediately attacked, so they paid the price...heh heh.
