The bear slips in the grease, as the pellet explodes directly in front of its face. roll 3+9 reflex = 12, DC 14, takes 23 points of damage. Some of the flames jet into the cave mouth, lighting it brilliantly, but Keith and Sildarin are far enough in to avoid any of the heated blast; Charlotte and Travellios are protected both by the distance and the huge rock in front of them.As Rallyn is the closest of those injuring it, the bear roars out a mighty scream of anger and charges forward, chomping down with it's immense fangs. roll 19 + a lot + 2 for charge (my dice hate you), hit; damage = 2d8+5 = 6+8+5= 19 for Rallyn.The bear's AC is again 15 for charging. Reflex save = 9 roll +9 reflex = 18 vs grease effect. The bear has moved out of the grease.The bright flash of light makes it easy for Sildarin's elven eyes to pick out a large cavern, some fifty feet across down the "hall" from the larder holding Travellios and Charlotte. While he only has a momentary glimpse, it appears to be plushly laden with furred rugs, draped over a stone bench, making a sort of rude couch. No one is visible within the room itself as the brief light of the fireball fades. From the smell, it's apparent the bear lives here as well as the giant.Paenderig uses the distraction of the bear's obsession with Rallyn, and the flare of the fire-wand, to duck behind a rock, snapping off a shot when the bear isn't looking. Bear takes 15, but further ranged sneak attacks, since it knows you're there now, will impose a penalty to bluff and a standard action.</blockquote>
