What is this pink portal thing?
Off in the distance, I can see what looks like a large pile of wood/antlers and it glows pink. It is surround my at least a dozen greydorfs and if I manage to kill some, it looks like more just portal in. As none of my shields (round/tower) do a damn thing against brutes, I die horribly every time.

Then you go up to it and whisper back; sneak in close enough you can listen to the voice of the elder talking to it's children in whispers.

Once you have a good supply of bronze you can switch to the sconces to save on resin. (They hold more and burn much longer). You'll still need graydwarf eyes to make portals and for Eye scream. Early on you'll probably want to destroy these so you don't have to deal with constant Greydwarf attacks. Later on, you're going to want to keep a few of these around and farm them for stuff. Specifically, resin. Once you start building big and have a lot of torches to feed, you're gonna need a lot of the stuff.

keep it to get you skills up
Avoid destroying the spawner if you can. Mark it on the map and go around it. A spawner is a great way to skill-up on your weapons of choice while gathering all the wood and resin you want.
And shooting greydwarfs as quick as they spawn (without hitting the spawner) makes a nice, relaxing twitch game within the game.
You can start with the bow as soon as you have a good-enough rate of fire and accuracy to keep them from reaching your position. For melee, you want at least a good shield and mace, sword or ax. Or maybe you prefer to rely on a knife and agility. Either way, keep your portal close.

Get to a tree that is close enough to it, build wood platforms like steps up to a safe height, and snipe it from there.

just avoid them until you get bronze gear, then they aren't even an issue. Me, I dig a hole nearby and get all 3 in it. stops spawning at that location all together. why not just destroy it? They make good area markers because the light from them renders from pretty far away. also once you have the spawning stopped there then you can turn it into a greydwarf farm. but that's a bit down the road for you at this point

Arrows? Just go up and ax the thing. You can smash a spawner up with a flint ax before two greydwarfs can spawn. The more you hesitate, the worse things will get.

That's a spawner, Greydwarf Nest. Destroy it and they will stop spawning. Or just ignore it.

I must have put 50 flaming arrows into it. I can't get close enough to whack at it. That's a spawner, Greydwarf Nest. Destroy it and they will stop spawning. Or just ignore it.

You are on the right path, now you'll only have to find the best place to put those flaming arguments. Sometimes you just have to get to the heart of the matter.
Another point, if you are dying a lot, then maybe you need somewhat better gear and/or food. Also, try to lure a few of them away from the others so you don't get swarmed.

Well, I have the best gear possible ATM. I dont have the 10 parts for the forge, and finding blones to upgrade things is near impossible. SO 3-Star is wear I'm at.

In that case, finding that sweet spot and hitting at a distance might be one of your better strategies. Hit and run tactics are also a possibilty in this game. Just don't aggro too many of the mobs at the same time. And don't worry, in no time at all you'll just laugh at the graydwarves when they come.

You should leave it alone until you can upgrade your gear. If you want an "impossible" task, it would be more productive for you to use those arrows on a troll.
