If you swim around from the docks to the left, there is a little beach before the pier. When you come out of the water a giant crab will generate. I've started killing them with a dagger. There's also a rock crab (oh the horror).
Just after that is the spot where a skeleton pops up. It's usually either a grenadier or a gypsy. If it's a gypsy 3 or 4 shots with hex eater usually does the trick and then he stands there oh so nicely while you throw grenades at it. If it's a grenadier, just play catch with him with grenades. Since he does about 75 damage and you should be doing 300 damage, this isn't all that bad. You can rest up to re-gen the damage taken (go back to take out the rock crab).
If you go on to the right there will be something else there (but that one might be a raider). But you can take out a gypsy or grenadier the same way. Stay close to the rock wall since a dread scorpion pops up somewhere around there too (kind of limits vodoo attacks on a raider since you can't run around as easily).
There may or may not be one more skeleton before you get to town
Take care when throwing grenades to this one-- the first pair fighting is usually an officer fighting a raider and they will both come after you if you disturb them. I can take an officer (with a potion) or a raider (with a potion and a lot of luck) but both at the same time is a oneway ticket back to a 3x5 room in the fort. On a good day you can level here before the game starts spitting out raiders which ruins the fun for me (although I'm getting to the point where I can start taking them out).
