And if you want to you can go again right now. :P No pressure obviously. I tried to leave it open for you and Sam as much as I could, but I didn't really know how wounded Faen was as Sam mentioned he got hit by the back of the bears paw. Now I don't know about bears where you live but they don't have claws at the back of the paw here so I imagine he's quite OK, but then again he did get smacked aside so that would indicate a heavy blow. I'm not sure, so I didn't quite know what to say for Faen to do.
For the next time, maybe Faen can tickle a bear instead of a fish. :P

I'm still God.
Bio
If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires;
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart. His passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse.
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

The bear stomped on Audrunars shield, resulting in heavy sighing and grunting from his end. It was about to give a final stomp when it suddenly roared again. It was then that Audrunar noticed the arrow in it's pelt, and blood slowly trickling from it's fresh wound. The bear pushed itself away on the shield and ran after Erika. It wasn't fast, as it's enormous size was a slowdown, but he would manage to keep up with Erika somewhat.
Audrunar was relieved, his arms beginning to hurt from the sheer weight of the beast pounding on them with it's paws. He shot a quick glance at Faen to see if he was okay, however he didn't see much. “Faen, are you okay?” Audrunar laid his head back on the ground for a second before he realized that Erika must've ran off with the bear, something that didn't even cross his mind yet. He shot back up, and grabbed his shield again. Taking a look around, he saw that Jonrik made no attempts to chase and Alva was cowering in the distance. Faen was out of commision for a while, it seemed. Just now when his trickery would be useful. Audrunar felt no particular way about them not giving chase, Jonrik had his wife to care for after all, Alva was not a warrior and Faen got hit by a bear. He probably was off worse than Audrunar, from the looks of it.
The wound in Audrunar's thorax was still bloody, but it wasn't spurting out so he decided he'd have to go help Erika, as he owed her that much. Instead of grabbing the axe, which in all honesty was quite useless in this situation, he ran back to where he had dropped his javelin earlier, took it from the ground and gave chase to the bear and Erika, following the tracks in the mud. Now, he was no expert tracker but the bear was hard to miss, the mix of human and bear prints made it rather obvious where they went. However, Audrunar knew and saw that Erika ran faster than he could since she had such a nimble figure. In ways, Audrunar could be jealous of that. Before he left, he shouted out a task in an almost commandeering way. He didn't mean to, but it came out that way regardless. “Get started on that fire! It will work better than axes and fish I imagine, in case it wanders back here. And one of you two..” He looked at Jonrik and Alva quickly, “please take a look at Faen, I'm not sure if he's ok.” He left the task open for anyone that wanted to do it, but also figured they would've done so regardless.
None of the group really knew the lay of the land in this area, so what Erika didn't know was that she was running straight into a corner where she couldn't possibly maneuver out of the bears way. What she probably could tell was that she was running slightly uphill, as one can feel this easily in the way they walk. Some five hundred meters from her the treeline stopped, and ended up in a small cliffside overlooking the river that the group was camping at. Now, this cliff wasn't as high and one could survive the fall if they were lucky enough were it not for the rocks in the river below the cliff that would break your bones when you fell, making it almost impossible to swim. This would, sooner or later, result in drowning. That is if you were unlucky enough to not suffer a quick death from the fall itself.
If she didn't alter her path, the bear would trap Erika in this cliff side leaving three options.. jump, wait for the best or fight. And with her ability to run faster than Audrunar, he wouldn't arrive to their location soon enough to help her with the latter, so she could merely attempt to scare the bear away with her arrows, or get a very lucky shot in. Even the best archers in Scandinavia would have troubles shooting a moving bear straight in the heart.

Well, he was yelling and shouting, while Audrunar was calmly talking which was my reasoning. :P
Figured that, but I'm not sure a bear would give up the deer or whatever just to chase her. :P I'm okay with it though, but I also highly doubt the others would just go ''oh, ok'' and continue working on the shelter.
Thinking we get rid of the bear so we can continue soon-ish. Anyone object to that or had something in mind?
Do as you please, if you want to write now there's this rule called ''you post when you feel like it.'' It means you can post whenever you wanna. :P
Audrunar turned his face to Erika, giving her an angry look. “If it pleases you, huntress.” Audrunar inched forwards after argueing with Erika, closer to the bear, which was now turning to Faen as he began yelling out to the others. Perhaps.. if he could lure the bears attention away long enough, Audrunar could push his shield into it's side and push it away while hacking at it.. Right when Audrunar was about to push himself into the dirt to crash himself into the bear, Faen began mocking the gods. Audrunar angrily pointed his axe at Faen. “Don't mock the Gods. If we die, atleast we go to Valhalla. Well, some of us..” It was clear he was telling Faen off for not being brave enough, mocking him for being unable to go to Valhalla. However, the bear subtly walked towards Faen, slowly until it realized it was close enough.. then roared as he stood on his backpaws, swiping at Faen in sudden rage. The bear obviously had enough of this bickering and waiting - it wanted it's prize and at this moment Faen was the one yelling the loudest.
Audrunar sprung into action and jumped forwards, yelling and screaming; “ODIIIIIIIN!” as he swung his axe towards the bear, in an attempt to save Faen from impending death if he did not act soon enough. The axe barely did more than a scratch to the bear, cutting into his front left shoulder, but caused the bear to direct his anger towards Audrunar. Audrunar backed off a bit, but it was too late and the bear let itself fall onto Audrunar in an attempt to scratch, claw and bite him. Rather luckily for Audrunar, he managed to put the shield in between him and the bears mighty jaws, but fell over as a result from the impact between them, causing the bear to be standing over Audrunar who had his shield raised up to defend against the pounding of the shield. One of the strikes passed by the shield however, clawing into Audrunars thorax, making him wince in pain. Hopefully he had given Erika her wish by fighting the bear. In an attempt to strengthen his grip on the shield he put his other hand on the back as well, dropping his axe close to him but leaving him defenseless in the process.
“Faen.. Erika.. anyone! Lure this beast...” he paused for a second to let go of a grunt of strength as he tried to push the bear a bit further away, “.. lure it far away!” Soon enough the bear would realize he didn't have to pound the shield to get to Audrunar and would go for the legs or the hands. If anyone was to act, they'd better act fast.

I hate RP's where people smash a bear in the face with their fists and survive. Bears are bloody dangerous.
Also Audrunar shall be known as Audrunar the friendless hence forth... everyone hates him. :D

Audrunar slowed down a bit once Erika came into view, but as Jonrik sped by him he was pulled back into the situation, speeding up again and running past Erika. Ofcourse, he wouldn't blatantly ignore her and he would extend his arm, grabbing the hem of her leather vest close to the neck and pulling her with him. Underbreath, he mumpled to her. “You ran? Nice show of bravery. Odin is watching. Remember.” After saying that to her, hopefully out of earshot of Jonrik, he'd let her go with a small push towards the camp. When Audrunar could finally see the full situation, he realized now that they had needed a fire sooner. Then they could have used the fire to chase the bear away. Faen was trying to trick the bear to go away, but instead of what Faen had planned, the bear only got more aggravated by the fish landing on it's snout, it's breathing and breezing becoming louder as he'd stand still and look around at it's targets.
It was then Audrunar noticed the shortsword that Alva had drawn, after she got tossed around a few times. For a moment, Audrunar had to remind himself that she was not a shieldmaiden and was probably not that capable of defending herself. Looking at the bear, and back to the shortsword, he quickly stuck out his hand to her, opened hands to show her to remain at ease. “Lest you wish an early grave, that shortsword will not do much good unless you intend to walk into the bears paws.” In a quick motion, he used his free hand to quickly unhook the axe in the leather loop on his belt. Audrunar smirked at the hypocricy he had shown.. in one breath he tells Alva to stay her blade, in the next he draws a weapon that has much shorter range.
The bear unleashed another roar, inching closer to Jonrik rather than Faen, giving Faen an opportunity to escape if he was quick enough. The bear was tiring, but not tired enough to dwell off - if he had to he would kill, that much was certain. Audrunar's shield clunked with his axe for a moment, the bear moving his head to look at Audrunar once. If any member of the group was smart enough to notice, they might realize that the sounds and movements caught the bears attention, and use this to their profit to lure the beast away. On the other hand, it would be doubtful the bear would leave without any prize whatsoever. “What say you, Erika, shall we give it the deer? It's your catch, after all.”
