I will have to advocate the scouting then stealth options, as we cannot sustain at this rate. There's too little longevity at 1st level to handle any fights we legitimately cannot back up outright seeing as we should not and cannot rest. Torus' raven projecting for us what it sees, moving quietly while it keeps watch, then trying to contend with the temple as subtly as possible is the only efficient way to avoid more injury than we need. 

I am assuming if we fail the attempted stealth that this is going to turn into a fight, but that is only because we have not the faintest idea of the enemy short of that they are looting and even then that tells us nothing about their make up. Thus far we have seen everything from a dragon to a few priests and some archers, as well as a couple of enemies who seem to be plot relevant... barring the enormous dragon of course.
