Omg I finally got it! I'm being to think I was struggling so much because of my less then settler luck with getting backed into the corner of the first screen like a goof where the creature would stop right ontop of me.
That and honestly my laptop keys love to malfunction so I got stuck running in the wrong direction against my will a bunch. I had a uniquely difficult time.
Anyway thanks for the help everyone, probably would have been running around much longer without them. (^^)
