I got it yesterday, too. I died first time exactly the same way as Levian, randomly ran into a werewolf and it kicked my ass.

I'm just levelling in the Lhusu mines at the moment, 'cause when I was about to go into Marquis Ondore's place I was level 9, and Levian made fun of me so now I'm beefing up and crap.

also, the Firemane thing kicked my ass 'cause Balthier had used all my potions up before I got to it so the first time I fought it, it shat on me. Second fight it barely scratched me though, so yeah. It was random.

edit: The package was going to a Bangaa, btw. Not a Seeq.
