The hastily fired bolt goes wide, never endangering either of them."Woah!" Deren says as he moves back along the route he came from.  Flanking had been his plan, but now, he wants to get out of the large creature's path.  He throws another dagger at the owlbear in the hope that he and his allies can kill it quickly and make sure they only have one enemy to deal with at a time. Again, Deren's aim is on, and the blade sinks into the mass of flesh and feathers.Realizing that simply battering the creature with their weapons is not having the desired effect, at least in terms of preventing furth harm to Zirat, Shoon decides to take a different approach. Switching the Nunchaku to his off hand, he attempts to strike the monster in a vulnerable area in hope of temporarily stunning it. Although several feathers fly into the air from Shoon's strike, the owlbear remains as fiesty as ever, its superior fortitude protecting it from the monk. "Oh Gods," Aeron calls as he heals Zirat again. Again the healing power of Pelor channels through Aeron and floods into the body of the Champion, restoring his vigor.The creature continues to squeeze Zirat, bruising his flesh and muscle, despite the numerous wounds it has suffered. Still, with Aeron's healing flowing through his body, the gladiator feels better than he has in the last few moments before."Mighty Kord, Help me." The gladiator tries to raise him arms again, overcoming the powerful grapple of the feathered bear. With his strength much restored, somehow the mighty champion tears free of the owlbear's powerful arms, staggering back away from the beast!Sir Merrick says nothing as he again brings down his glaive. The creature, now free of its burden, nimbly moves away from the strike, and the knight cuts only empty space.From out of the darkness strides a large, gangely creature, its mottle greenish-grey skin covered in warty patches, its head covered in a mass of wiry grey hair. Seeing that your group is obviously intruders, it points a wickedly clawed finger at Shoon as it speaks again, this time in the common tongue.
