I have a big problem and I am hoping that somebody can help me.

My brother is away on vacation and i play his character (a bard) and died and
lose a level. I play other characters (ranger,druid,warrior) into the 20s, but I
never play anything like this one now. He is in the low 40s and even if i fight
things that are green (tried a cyclops) i have to run so far. I really need
somebody to please tell me how to fight with a bard like this and what to fight
so i can get him back his level before he comes home and kicks my butt!

The guy has all the songs i think and i just dont know how to fight right. When
I just fight with 2 swords i get killed even with the beserk song playing.

Please help!
