In the swamp north of Paludan...
Still keeping off of his broken arm
Kyle crawled quickly behind the tree with Alice. If it weren’t for the gravity of the situation the scene could almost have been comical. Alice kept just her head poking around the tree with a shocked look on her face, her hand covering her open mouth. Kyle now peeked around the other side of the tree. Both were simultaneously enthralled and terrified by the scene in front of them, so much so that Kyle’s arrival at her tree didn’t even fully register in Alice’s mind. With the noncombatants safely out of the way, Clair and Cromwell rallied against the bear, finally mounting an effective counterattack.
Clair charged the bear’s right side, bringing her axe into its leg. The axe cut a gash along the animal’s leg before catching on her tendon. There was a moment of tension when it seemed the tendon might hold, before it suddenly tore. As the bear fell without the support that leg
Cromwell brought his sword along its left side. The sword cut a deep gash that began to bleed, adding to all of the other open wounds. Weak from its wounds and aware of the danger it was in, the spectacled bear tried to run away from the group. However, with a badly damaged leg and a number of bleeding wounds, it did not manage to travel very quickly.
Will managed to recover from his dizziness, but had a slight feeling of oversensitivity to balance and movement.
Joe Merely stood there while his companion recovered his balance.

Actually fairly cute and not terribly dangerous as far as bears go. Mostly vegetarian, the males of this species weigh 2-3 times as much as a man, while the females can actually weigh less than a man. Also fortunately, these animals are very solitary. It is highly unlikely to encounter more than one at a time.
