Hello, I have a couple of questions followed by a soft-lock situation I ran into.
1) Is your character meant to stay level 1?
2) If so how are you meant to become stronger and keep up with the game?
3) If what I show below is a soft-lock, what can I do differently to be able to progress in my next playthrough?
Context for the softlock: I have saved on the spot shown on the screenshot and I have some health potions and some wine but not much more than that. The skeleton enemies deal way too much damage for my healing to keep up and I can't exist the crypt.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Hey, 1: Yes you stay level 1
2:You grow stronger through Equipment and special"events". There are many options to get stronger Equipment in the City also there is stuff like training on the dummy in the hut of the hermit a few times to get 5 Attack.
3: In your case there are still 3 fights in the dungeon and you can either load a file of before you got inside and get better equipment or try fighting the same battle like 20 times until you get lucky enough to win.
