If you have enough gold on you, you can take the help of mercs that are listed to help you out. Mercs are hired based on contracts, and after a particular time frame it will expire.

There are a handful of times where using a merc will benefit you. During the first town you encounter, having a merc will help you tackle the timer that is placed for rescuing the prisoner. Since the enemies are a bit harder to beat right now, buy your first merc here. Next, you can buy an additional merc in the town before entering the cave during the second part of your adventure.
