Umm... I wouldn't bitch about being killed if your idea of strategy
is to run up and bashbashbashbashbash. You entered three bashes
right off the bat, and Tournik's defense did most of the rest.
The swarthy mercs are around level 15-20 if I remember right, and judging by
your hp, they're not much lower than you. It hit you 5 of 13 by my count,
and not terribly hard. (Try fighting conjurers.) You did nothing besides try
to keep Tournik in battle. Bash only helps if you can use it to press an
existing advantage. It (fortunately) does not mean that the first person to
start bashing will win.
