Unsettled. Brutal Cleave makes a new attack and a hero declares a weapon with every attack, which supports switching weapons, and a relayed FFG reply read it that way. Other players argue Cleave implies the same weapon. Whichever weapon you use, the new target must be valid for that weapon (adjacent or within Reach), and adjacency is measured from the first target's space even if it was defeated.
