I had a similar encounter (minus the wraith) with greydwarf, but I was in at least mountain-level gear, maybe higher, and got stamina locked with them pounding on me. I started thinking "No! Not to greydwarf!". Fortunately I was able to hobble away enough to grab a bite and show them who's boss!

Haha literally almost had that happen to me last night. I was out at night gathering wood and stone in the nearby meadows next to the black forest by my base and forgot to eat. Suddenly I find myself surrounded by greylings, greydwarves, brutes and shaman with 15 hp and just a bronze spear. I barely scraped through by parrying but I remember thinking "I was just in the mountains for crying out loud and I'm about to die to a greyling!"

I also went deeper into the plains than I've ever ventured to gather cloud berries. The deathsquitos weren't a problem but I blocked a fuling attack and got staggered so I immediately ran back to safety with 5% health or less - and I had eaten swamp food. That was also a very close call.
