So I did actually manage to talk to Goettsch before stepping foot into the Kazg lands - talk about a sequence break. One note - you can recruit a battle beta to fight for you in the Arena - it can clear out the entire area pretty easily with a little support from you. There is a good amount of loot (~400 gold worth) plus a useful healing craft canister.

Started up my solo pacifist run, currently at level 7 with 9 mech/8 leadership/5 stealth. Should be enough mech/lead for a bit so I can start to pump stealth. Went all the way up the center of the island and cleared the first Ascended quest but I've yet to approach Northbridge. I'm almost at 3k gold too, so I'm tempted to go through the Ancient Crypt and get all the way to Goettsch before even setting foot in the Kazg lands, talk about sequence breaking lol. I was actually able to get Seerula to kill the Watchhill spawner to clear the quest (and get the next one with the letter) for some more XP. I found it went a lot easier if I got her to aggro the spawner and then stayed hidden in peace mode. Seems that caused her to attack faster and the spawner to spawn fewer creations.
