J'aran you might find it easier going with a Fighter and a Rogue for your two frontliners. The Samurai and Lord take a while to come into their own and if not developed properly they will (pardon the language) suck all through the game lol

The Fighter and Rogue are the two best melee'ers and for someone playing the game for the very first time, the two can make things a bit easier for you. I know how you feel, when I first began playing, I ran into similiar circumstances as you describe many many times and I in fact ended up quitting and not playing the game for a good 6 months. I wish I had known about the forums back then I could have gotten some advice and tips and continued playing.

As far as the juggernauts, I hate those things! My current party is level 18 and I run into them all the time, although they are not so tough now that my party is stronger, I still can't stand the buggers! lol A party below level 10 is going to find the juggernauts really difficult (in my opinion anyway) so if at all possible run away from them, if that isn't possible try running to a niche in a hillside where only one or two can get to you at a time. If none of that works try reloading or quitting the game and restarting from a previous save. Sometimes you'll get different monsters or sometimes run into no monsters at all.
