The bear struggles against Caerwyn's onslaught, but eventually succombs to the barbarian's rage and actually loses its footing. From behind a large rock, the old man's mouth drops as he watches the man knock a dire bear on its ass!
The bear regains its footing soon enough, however. It stands on its hind legs and lashes out. Caerwyn ducks one of the massive paws, but is caught by the other. Still, the holy barbarian carries on.
The ettin moves forward and one of its heads begins, of all things, a chant. What begins as a black, swirling fog hisses up from the ground and organizes itself into an army of wraith-like demonic spirits! Talashia and Rogash seem to be past the sprits' boundaries, but the others find themselves covered in the demonic swarm. Their knees buckle and they stagger to maintain their footing as thier life-essence is sucked out of them.
Deep in the center of the evil swarm, Shai alone stands unaffected. A ear-piercing yelp tells him that his lupine companion isn't as lucky.
As quickly as it appeared, the swarm fades away. And the ettin's other head takes note of Talashia. It moves to the sorceress quickly, and bats her away with its thick wooden club.
