I actually did the same thing on my first ever real game. (After just poking about and not understanding the game - I was 9 at the time). From this I learned the very valuable information of always having multiple savegames. Anyways, it's been a year since I played this game, but I think I recall the following about the room.
1. You're not supposed to have paulson at this point - and yes, it is very possible to complete.
2. The snakes will appear out of 'holes in the wall', (you will notice this by a different graphic than the average stonewalls in the mines). Obviously if you stand next to theese holes, nothing can spawn. So stand here and fight them all of, then try to sleep.
3. You can change difficulty settings mid-game, in options. Enemies are set to Normal by default, but you can change this to Easy/Wimpy or whatever it is called.
4. The "Freeze" spell is very usefull in this room, if you got the MP to use it. Since it might kill off as much as 4 of them at the ti
5. You can always try running. Although I am not sure how easy this is, but there should be a lever on one of the walls. Get a mappack to find out which. Beware though that there are 1 or two of the walking fireplaces (That's what I called them when I was 10) - whatever the stone-thingys that drop the bloodstone are really called.
That's my tips for the day, it should be totally possible, but if your characters are not trained enough, yes this can be hard. Hope you manage to fight through though =)
