Chapter 1 - Trouble In Red Larch

Aukan, you rush forward and violently swing at one of the two remaining bandits. He dodges your swing and the momentum make you stumble and fall to the ground.

Vanri, you hit the bandit already hurt by Welsh's spell directly in the face and he drops to the floor writhing in pain, attempting to extinguish the flame, before falling still. You severely burn the other bandit's chest, he bats the flame away but you can see that the skin not covered by his leather armour is red and blistering.

The one remaining bandit left standing takes the opportunity of the prone Aukan to slash down on him and hits him across his back. Laughing he turns around and- his laughter turns into a choked scream as the black bear bites into his neck and tears out a chunk of it. As he falls to the ground, the bear then turns its attention to the next, nearest target, which is Aukan. The bear claws across his already bleeding back and slashes another fairly deep gash into it.

The spell makes the bear stagger back and roar in pain, it looks hurt and a little hesitant

The bear roars at you Nadya, it seems completely unaffected by your spell. Vanri's however catches it in the side of the bear, singeing its fur.

Aukan stands up and takes a swing at the bear, but misses as it disengages and runs away.

You tie up the bandit as he starts to stir and wake up. He opens his eyes and looks directly into his companion with the gaping chest hole and starts screaming uncontrollably. You decide that it might be best to gag him as well.
