Of course Audrunar was the one to argue with logic. [I]Should have just let him fight the bear.[/I] Faen couldn't help but give the raider an exasperated look. It was the kind of look that spoke volumes, that said 'By the God's, your so stupid that being around you makes me actually feel slightly stupider myself.' Faen would later attribute this bizarre stupidity causality decreasing his usual sharp skills of observation as the reason for what happened next. 
 
The bear snuck up on him. Quite how it managed the feat, being over four hundred pounds of raw muscle and stinking fur on clear ground, he wasn't quite sure but it did. The beast went up on hind legs, a deep roar that seemed to rumble up from the depths of Hel tearing from its mouth as it swung it's paws in a strike at him. More luck than skill had him already back peddling away from the attack, but the back of the beasts arm still caught him. It was a glancing blow, little more, but it still hurt like the last days of Ragnarok, sending him carthwheeling away. He squawked as he hit the ground, a lay their dazed and confused, out of the fight for a while.
