i just started the witcher. I am a novice witcher 5 stars. It takes me all my power/skill to kill the ist ghoul in the crypt. Then to take on two more i get killed every time and only see a small segment of the red circle  around the feet of the ghoul erased. In the fight i see blue flashes from the sword and get messages of "to fast" most of the time.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to go back and repeat training or is the game beyond my capabilities. Any help or advise please
