Emond,thanks. The advice from hc was helpful, as was the walkthrough I located. I AM playing on the easy setting; I always do when I play a genre that I am new to, in this case- computer games. The level that you said, is called "Nyleve's Falls", and it IS where I ran into the two brutes. Also- you really should proofread your messages as you contradicted yourself when you said that in the easy setting there are no badguys! Think about it- that would make for a very boring game! Jeeze- I'm not playing Myth; I do want SOMETHING to frag!!!
