I started playing yesterday, don't know anything about the game. Reached that are and built a house. Shaman dies from 3 arrows, I thinks brutes as well. The others take 2 arrows. Running away is also easy, I even entered another area and defeated a much harder creature along with them. Melee would be dangerous though.

i been fighting them melee with my spear. i just tried arrows on a non star brute and it took 5 which can be a problem when you got multiple enemies coming at you lol
