All the advice above is good. Another point to keep in mind is that TFT is also 'dangerous' for nearly all monsters. Basically, everyone has some skin in the game, irrespective of size, experience, gear, etc. So, you can almost never reduce your risk level to zero, but you also nearly always have a way to defeat the other side. Of course you want to recognize situations where the odds are for or against you and get out of dodge when it seems bad. But often good decision making during game play is where the scales get tipped.

Also, don't get super attached to your PC's, at least until they are way more competent than the average bear.
