Undead followers of Azura, weakness? Options

[H3lliN]

I am the kind of player who usually gathers information before going to dark places with ugly looking people. So i read that going to the shrine of azure and after that to the mines to slay her followers is a mission you can take on lvl 2. Well... i went (lvl 3 char.)i saw and i shut my eyes real fast. The first follower forced me to use up all my potions, one that i managed to kill but if you ask me it took wayyyy to long. The next two simply beat the misery out of me. After those i found yet two more although i was under the impression they were 4 and not 5?Anyway they were even harder...one keeps summoning zombies and i haven't managed to scalp their ugly little heads yet.I m guessing that my weapons arent really the best since i do little damage after every swing. I am a battle mage with the boosts of my birthsign (warrior). I use a two handed weapon (dmg 5) and flares as well frost and shock magic.Is there a specific type of weapon that inflicts more damage to them? Or should i just leave them be for the beeing and return when stronger? (live to fight another day? )

P.S.:lowering the difficulty bar is not considered an option, at least not for me. The rest of the game i find it to be at a normal difficulty,lowering it for the mine means i can just as well turn godmode on

I summon skeletons but the second wave of undead destroys them in one hit so that pretty much becomes useless...since they both attack together summoning during the fight only allows them to get hits on me with my guard down. I tried sneaking so i would lure just one out but soon after the first hit the second one comes anyway. Sneaking skill is quite low in my char so geting closer than a few feet from them is impossible. Tried with the chameleon spell too but that didnt get me much closer...I m guessing they have the vampire's detect life ability?
I have a pretty good alchemy skill (able to make potions with 2 effects) so i ll try that poison as well as drawing them outside for a good dose of sunbathing.
I haven't found any enchanted items yet and i think i can't enchant any just yet. In the first pair of vampires (2nd and 3rd vampire encounter) there is an orcish charachter with steel armour...that's my biggest headache,he manages to make my screen go dizzy every second strike or so.
The second pair should be easier when i manage to take out the mage who should have low armour and stop him from summoning every time. I try to hit the mage but with 3 enemies coming, 2 of which melee they tend to get in the way when i target one specific enemy.
It is the trial and error path for this i guess!

By the way my compliments to the forum administrators (and people participating) it look/works good and covers a lot.
