Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but I just want to be absolutely certain. If I am fighting the Wight Brothers and I can not defeat them but they won't pursue me because I am on a lower level, do I still have to lose two levels? It seems to me that I would lose two levels because I'm still Running Away successfully. Thanks!
