Let 'em die a few times. It's good experience.

This is interesting. My boys fought through the Old Island Fortress without much of a problem. The only thing that gave them pause was the Grey Oozes. One of them figured out fire might work, then they were home free. There were a few harrying times, where they had to fall back and lick their wounds, but they went through the whole dungeon "hack and slash" style.

The pits seem to whittle my newbies down rather quickly.

Yeah, when I did the New Year game, I had a near TPK with the pit near the Kobold lair. They all survived their fall, but the Ooze got them. The only one left standing was the half-ogre who didn't fall in the pit.
