TheWoWDBThe Vermin "boss" at the door to the temple has a lot of health for that level.
He sends out a trail of bubbling rubble that can cause damage. If you see him burrowing, watch for that. It's an early-in-leveling introduction to the concept of Stay Out Of The Bad.
If you are alone, one way to get "help" is to kite him to the two villagers standing a little further down the road. They will distract him (in my case, finished him off) while you can get the mallet (a cogwheel shows you) atop a barrel near the door.

In case anyone is looking for the best way to beat Raggis, start a fight with him and lead him back to the 2 guards (63.7, 75.1), and they will help you.
Raggis doesn't actually drop the mallet you're after, but you'll want to kill him in order to get to it sitting on some boxes nearby!

{name}, I've got it! It's simple really. Let's make a ruckus so loud that there's no way he can sleep through it. Why look at that, a conveniently placed gong! Makes me think this may just be how they've awoken him in the past. We just need the matching mallet to get it ringing as loud as possible. The village leader tells me the mallet is over at the Ki-Han Brewery on the river, to the southwest. It's not far. Mind picking it up for me while I give the village some fair warning?
