Tim-Tim calls upon his racial abilities and creates dancing lights in front of the bear. Then continues to move away from the bear and grey render.

4 globes of light appear around the bear. It is momentarily confused, but only for a second. It then continues its charge.

Brown Bear
The bear barrels toward Spittle and takes a powerful swipe at him.

The Brown Bear: 5 + 4 - 2 + 8 = 15 Miss!

Gray Render
The gray render roars and lumbers forward at Spittle.

Peanut's Turn!

Having seen that the Grey Render has already been injured, Peanut pulls out an extra arrow between his middle and third finger, and then launches two arrows in succession at it.

Peanut

Peanut looses two arrows quickly at the gray render.

Arrow 1: 17 + 3 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 21 Hit! Peanut hits for (1d6[5] + 0) 5 damage
Arrow 2: 19 + 3 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 23 Critical hit! Peanut hits for (1d6[15] + 0) 15 damage

The first arrow strikes home into the render's shoulder. It doesn't seem to bother the render much.

The second arrow though, punches into one of the gray render's six eyes causing it to roar in pain. It turns towards the halfling, all attention focused on the puny thing that caused it such pain.

Spittle's Turn!

Spittle is frozen for a moment, trying to remember if anyone in his family has ever been eaten by a bear. Brought back to reality by the possibility of being next on the list, he vocalizes the only important thought in his head..

Spittle, at the top of his lungs for everything in the woods to hear wrote:EVERYBODY RUN!!!

..and then attempts a CHARGING BULL RUSH to get Peanut, the world's most agitating archer, out of harms way, travelling with the halfling to maximize his own distance from the bear.

Spittle

(OOC Normally, I wouldn't do this, but this time around I'm not going to do the rolls for the bull rush, because Peanut is a friendly in this scenario.)

Spittle barrels into Peanut pushing him back some distance, with luck, out of the way of the charging bear.

Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar's Turn!

Peanut is caught off guard, almost thinking that he's being rushed by the grey rander for a moment there. "Hey! What're you doing! I'll be fiiiiiiaaaaaahH!!"

Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar is stuck between fight or flight when Spittle's call brings him back to reality. He sprints to the south.

Beardthar keeps running also. He tries to remember anything he can from his woodland training about how to deal with bears. he also tries to remember if Gray Renders will imitate the behaviors of their adoptees.

He wishes he had done more thinking *before* sending out the wolves, so he wouldn't have to think and sprint at the same time.

Seeing everyone running off, the brown bear stops pursuit. It still stands there though, as if to make sure that you really are leaving.

Knowledge (Nature) (1d20 + Ranks + INT)

Akbar: 4 + 0 + -1 = 3 Fail
Beardthar: 15 + 6 + 1 = 22 Success
Peanut: 9 + 5 + 2 = 16 Success
Spittle: 1 + 0 + 1 = 2 Fail
Tim-Tim: 3 + 0 + 1 = 4 Fail

Judging by its reaction, you guess it might have been defending its young. It was probably enough for it to chase you off, thought it will probably attack should you even so much as look back at it.

The gray render though, continues to chase you some distance before stopping and turning to move go back to the bear.

Survival (1d20 + Ranks + WIS)

Akbar: 13 + 0 + 1 = 14
Beardthar: 18 + 4 + 3 = 25
Peanut: 14 + 5 + 1 = 20
Spittle: 11 + 0 + 0 = 11
Tim-Tim: 5 + 0 + 3 = 8

Combat Ends

Out of breath from running, but alive, you gather yourselves together and regroup.

As the party regroups and starts to catch their breath, Beardthar finally remembers some of his Bear-lore, and begins singing an obnoxious song:

Bearthar, singing wrote:♬ Oh lady fair (gasp) she saw a bear! ♪
A (wheeze) walking under the stars! ♬
And in her hair, sweet flowers there (pant) ♪

and then embarrassedly, by wait of explanation;

Beardthar, explaining wrote:...(wheeze, wheeze) when you escape a Bear, you have to sing a song about (pant) bears. it stops them from following you

Bearthar, singing wrote:The flowers ♬ ... um... the flowers smelled as sweet as wine,
The bear it smelled, ♪ as rank as swine...

Tim-Tim looks around at the party, a little disappointed about what just happened, and also a little tired.

Well, I'm glad no one got hurt. The last thing we need is one less person helping us on this quest. Anyways, when do you think we'll be far enough away from the grey blender to set up camp again.

Peanut begins to sing along with Beardthar as they celebrate their safety and escape from danger, breaking into a prance and a swing in tune with his singing. His tone is very unrefined, but thankfully not high pitched like a chipmunk.

Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar is, not surprisingly, shouting praises to al-Akbar.
