Some basic combat training please

[wolis]

More good suggestions.. thanks.

I noticed when I hit the dog it would scamper away (probably because Im on easy mode) which looks like it would give me enough time to run away.. if it cant sniff me out.. and if I know where to run to safety.

The throwing of multiple things is another good idea.. I have been relying on the some object and having to retrieve it, but having 5 handy objects at my feet would save my having to run into danger to retrieve anything.

Thanks.. I am now further in the game and feeling more confident (if crawling through air-vents fills can fill anyone with confidence!?!)
