Powder keg trick I found.

DId a quick search and since I didn't find anything, I'm assuming it's something people don't know about.
Basically, find a spot that allows you to channel foes. One square wide is best, but 2-3 wide is okay. Then, block off all but one square with powder kegs. At this point entice foes towards the spot, and when you get there block off the last hole with a powderkeg. You can sit behind the wall of kegs & pick off foes from safety for as long as it takes. If they're melee fighters only, then it's even easier due to them not being able to ranged fire at you. Against ranged fighters, you might have to back off & heal a bit. but it's still much easier since they can't follow you.
Several spots that were a pain before (the blacksmith, for one), became easy after I realized that NPC's don't seem to attack powder kegs.
