Help Main Quest

You can always grab the Difficulty slider and put it all the way down
for this one mission. See if that works.

Exactly what I would suggest. I had trouble with NPCs dieing in one
part of the main quest, so I bumped the difficulty down, problem
solved.

There is a suitable spell available, it's one of the "Blessings of..."
series or the "Area Basin Renewal", if my memory is correct, discovered
by cheating and using additem.player console command to obtain all
spells so as to see what might be available. You can cast the renewal
spell once to cover a largish group, IF you have the magicka.

This is why I have never understood why people LIKE companion mods.
The first time I ran through the main quest I had the same problem,
killed Martin a couple times myself (once with an AE bow I'd forgotten
was AE, ahem). It really isn't necessary for YOU to kill everything
out there. Follow Martin around and give him cover fire. When he
engages something swing around for a clear shot and off the thing, if
he gets ganged up on let him take one and you kill off the other stuff.

I've never seen a "heal" console command. There is a "resurect"
command but that won't help since the main quest ends if he dies, it
won't restart on a resurect. I'm curious, what level are you? I've
found that waiting and donig th emain quest at very high levels
(anything over 10 to start it 25ish to finish) makes it MUCH harder.

Im not aware of any console cmmand that raises/restores health to others -
only spells.

Every time you kill something that comes out of those gates something will
come out of them to replace it. I managed to simply run around restoring my
health and trying to distract anything that came out so that the 'help'
could deal with it. I think the huge gate that comes up is timed... so long
as you can distract them from Martin then u will be fine.
I actually had a problem with this when i came out of the big fat gate...
Martin died about a minute later fighting the leftovers... so save (dont
quicksave!!!) and reload until you get it right. Remember, this is meant to
be the climax of the game... it wouldnt be any fun at all if you could
finish the main quest without risk that Martin dies....

stay funky and enjoy yourself!
