Ryda sees Unit 16 wavering on unconsciousness and steps away from the kenku trying to distract her and unleashes another mighty shot, this time the arrow shreds through the tend flesh just below its ribcage and lodges itself deeply in the Owlbear’s spleen.
She grins as the mighty beast wavers for a moment, then collapses to the ground, nearly crushing the warforged it had fought so long to destroy. You’re next birdman, she states coldly, drawing a bead on the nearest kenku.
Jarren gives a shout of elation as Ryda's shot strikes true once again and the Owlbear finally falters. The euphoria of the succesful hunt cuts through the pain of his wounds as he surveys his birdmen attackers with a predatory grin. He shifts his stance once again, setting up a position for his Warforged ally as his spirit companion aims a vicious bite at one of the attackers.
As the beast falls, Unit 16 barely sidesteps in time to avoid its crashing body.
"You see?" he yells to Ryda, nearly stumbling as he turns toward her.
"Unit 16 snares enemy melee units so allied ranged units are most effective," he recites as if reading from a book. Unit 16 beams broadly at Ryda as blood pours freely down his face.
With new resolve and emboldened by his ally's spirit and his own sense of duty, Unit 16 pulls himself back together and puts on a brave face once more.
"Switching targets..." he says to himself. Seeing Jarren move into a tactical position, he reacts by instinct to move into place. As he walks, new ice crystals appear in front of him with each step, and as he passes they melt harmlessly away. Interestingly, small paths through the snow and ice are immediately visible to Jarren as Unit 16 gets closer.
"You shall dance around my ally no longer," 16 says to the Kenku as he lifts his giant hammer. Still exhausted, Unit 16 again deploys his defensive strike, opening deflective panels while bringing his hammer to bear on his foe.

Yes, I would say that the DT extends for 10 feet in every direction, including up.[/sblock]
With the owlbear dead, the leader swoops forward
"Damn, we had a nice racket here you jerks! At least we'll have your gear afore we're off. Git'em boys!" he cackles, pointing the rod at Unit 16. More spectral crows slam into Unit 16 although they cause little effect thanks to Jarren's effect.
The other kenku caw back in response, the one near Ryda flutters his wings quickly and creates a distraction enough for him to get on the other side of Unit 16. He stabs at the warforged, but the warrior easily blocks its attack, however with his concentration on the one in front, Unit 16 can't stop the one in the back and a perfect stab severs something inside him. Unit 16 is wobbling on his feet, a slight breeze would likely knock him over
"Thata boys! First one to kill that half-orc gets 50 gold" the leader calls out from the air.
