Even with the bears momentarily incapacitated, Thea knew they were likely much more dangerous than the orcrats. She scampered backwards into the middle of the cluster of constables, pausing only briefly to hurl a sphere of glittering light towards the orcrats. "We've got to focus on the bears!," she shouted. Many of the orcrats begin so scream in frustration or fear as the magic steals their sight away. Only the wand wielding shaman (7) avoids the effect. (I even rolled for the dead one.

)
Seeing his companions in danger from the huge beasts, Alarion draws his sword as he moves past the mage and the clergyman to stand beside Thea.
"Get thee behind me, milady!" He thrusts his blade at the bear's huge chest. While it was a good blow he realizes that such a wound is but a scratch to such a mighty foe.
Braz fires again at the orcrats by the balista, missing once and hitting the blinded one, who remains on his feat, but only just. The last functional orcrat struggles to ready the weapon alone.
Despite the roots trying to hold it the first bear attacks Alarion in a flurry of
claws and fangs (1d20+17=20, 1d20+17=31, 1d20+11=28) he is able to fend off the first blow, but is struck by a massive paw and terrible
teeth (2d4+10=13, 2d8+5=13).
The other bear rears up to
strike and bite (1d20+17=19, 1d20+17=27, 1d20+11=24) at Raul and Braz. Rauls feels the terrible pain as the
claws (2d4+10=18, 2d4+10=14) mark him while the
teeth (2d8+5=17) sink deep into dwarf hide.
As his first opponent falls, Darius switches to his bow and lets three arrows fly at the shaman. The first one strikes true for 9hp damage.
OOC: Raul's up, unless I missed his post too...
