In Chapter I, with Mrs. Hood (the Barmaid) i was kinda stuck in that part. Six infernal dogs and the darn woman would try and take them all with her little dagger. After a couple of trys, i give up and simply ran away from fight like a madman till i'v reach the village. For my surprise, it work!
A didn't make to Chapter II yet, but if i have this option, i surely will use it.
