The bear catches a waft of his scent and rears up onto it's hind legs. Standing only 7ft tall it's not as big as they were expecting but it roars and charges Lorundil all the same.

The bear swipes with it's hugh paw knocking the sword from his grip and slicing his forearm with it's powerfull claws. Again the bear rears in order to knock him to the round.

[spoiler=ooc]So I have an evil role playing master and terrible dice... Do you want me to die! =P[/spoiler]

[Talon Lord Othrim]

[spoiler=ooc]Nope lol[/spoiler]

Lord Algen charges forward to help support, with his spear set into the ground he holds its tip up to the bear.

The bear slamms it's paws into the earth where Lorundil was standing.

[spoiler=Lord Algen]1d100 rolled for a total of: 89 (89)[/spoiler]

The spear enters the bears chest cavity deep as the bears full wieght lands.

"Quickly Boy!" he shouts holding the bear in place, "Finish it!"

It' roars of pain echoing off the stones around them.

[dx144]

[spoiler=ooc]Of course you aren't Othrim... I believe you... No doubt this ranged attack is a epic fail like the rest =P[/Spoiler]

Lorundil draws his bow and aims for the bear's roaring head. He aims to fire through its mouth while squinting his eyes and steadying his breathe with concentration focuses solely on the bear.

[spoiler=Ranged Attack]1d100 rolled for a total of: 67 (67)[/spoiler]

[Talon Lord Othrim]

[spoiler=ooc]SEE you just had consentrate lol [/spoiler]

The arrow hits its mark and the bear assisted by Lord Algen falls limply onto it's side.

"Good shot lad! You preserved the head for a clean mounting! well done!"

He withdraws the spear from the bear and wipes it. "This will make for a fine trophy. You did well."

[dx144]

[spoiler=ooc]This is some trick to make me feel secure then the roll of ones and twos returns. Brought by Othrim saying I didn't do. Must have be the die with a massive I didn't do it grin on his face... =P[/Spoiler]

"Thanks Lord Algen. I think you deserve the trophy though as you did kill the bear basically. If it wasn't for you that Bear would be having me for dinner but I wouldn't have even made it this far if you hadn't killed that monster. Should we get back to your home?" Spoke Lorundil out of breath from the unexpected amount of dodging required to survive.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

He laughs deeply "I intend to take it lol This is my hunt and your he....." he does not get to finish what he was saying. The sound of barking and howling excited dogs can be heard coming from the trees. Bursting from he undergrowth three large wolfhounds enter the clearing. They yip and bark around buth men and the bear. The sound of approaching horses and the clanking of armour breakes through the once still of the forest. Lord Algen winces, as if he knows what is approaching.

Six men in chainmail armour led by a man in plate all mounted, ride into the clearing and approach them both. the dogs still dancing about them. The lead man has a sneer on his face and anger in his eyes. He rides straight up to Lord Algen, pointing a finger accusingly at him.

"That's it Algen! I have had enough of your poaching on my lands! That bear was mine!"

The men are all armed, tho none have drawn their blades, bows or spears.

[dx144]

Lorundil bent down and picked up his short sword then placed it back into its slot then stood in front of Lord Algen.

"Hold. Leave Lord Algen alone. I killed the bear not him. If you want to persecute anyone then persecute me. This bear was attacking locals and needed to be stopped. Who are you anyway?" Said Lorundil in a polite innocent voice.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Lord Algen places a plecating hand on Lorundill's arm. "This my graciouse friend is Lord Fernier my neighbour and technically we 'are' on his land.
And you!" He focuses his statment on the new Lord, "are just in time to witness my victory over a beast thats been killing my foresters."
"Not possible!"
"Are you seriouse? I may be old but still a very capable hunter Fernier."
"Not that you daft old coot!"

Lorundill notices that the other men are just sat there with calm faces, they are obviously used to their interactions.

"This cound not possibly be the bear attacking your men."
"And why not?"
"It was released last night especialy for my hunt."

Lord Algen looked to the bear then to Lord Fernir. "Seriously?"

"Yes! again you have spoiled my activties! again! I demand restitution!"

[dx144]

"Lord Algen. We must be off if we are to hunt the real bear threat to your people. Also it is approaching night." Broke in Lorundil.

"Sorry Lord whoever you are we need to be off as according to you there is still a bear on the loose who could kill more innocents. I don't care for your petty squabbles with Lord Algen over this land and hunting issues. Perhaps you should clean out the horrors that infest your forests instead of playing hunter. While being in that forest we were attacked by giant spiders, half human half spider creature and loads of other creatures that were lurking in the dark watching our every move no doubt." Spoke Lorundil to the other Lord.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

"Such impertinance!" Lord Fernier blusters.

"Fernier!" Lord Algen interupts, "I will pay you your restitution. Say 100 gold pieces for the ruin of your hunt. However my hunsman is right. If this be not the bear, then we must continue. We shall head to the woodsmans hut within my borders but be aware should we find the bear has traveled to your lands it will become your problem, not mine."

"Very well, I agree to your terms Lord Algen." He turns his horse and whistles. The Wolfhounds bay and follow after their master. One of the soldiers ropes the bear to a skid and they follow after him.


"Well that was a kick in the bollocks." muttered Lord Algen as he watches them all leave.

[dx144]

"Good riddance. Stuck up bastard." Spoke Lorundil quietly so only Lord Argel heard Lorundil over the horse hooves.

"So you didn't get that Bear's head. We know he never killed it." Laughed Lorundil. "Who cares about that bear anyway. Joke will be on him when you get a larger bear head put up in your hall." Continued laughing Lorundil.

"You're a much better hunter than him anyway. You were willing to come out here alone to stop a bear from preying on the innocents. While he arrived with an armoured force to kill a bear that was smaller than the one we are hunting. I think we should hunt that bear even if crosses the border. I understand if you don't want to due to relations between your areas could be made worse. Your call though." Spoke Lorundil.

"We off then?" Asked Lorundil with a smile on his face.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Lord Algren chuckles and slaps Lorundil on the back. "He always was a pompus ass but he's a good fellow. Come on lets make for the hut. We will start again first thing in the morning."

The pair of them set off once more into the forest. The days heat cooled by the trees shade.

 

As the night began to draw in the insect life of the forest awoke. Clouds of mayflies hung in the air and they both were plaged by bites.

The Woodsmans hut sat dark in a small clearing of it's own. Rabbits darted here and their as they began their approach. Lord Algren stopped. "I just realised we have not eaten all day and I dont know about you but I'm famished. Tag us a couple of those rabbits before they all scatter and we can roast them for supper, will you."

[dx144]

"Will do Algen." Said Lorundil as he went off to get some rabbits.

[Spoiler=Hunt]1d100 rolled for a total of: 19 (19)[/Spoiler]

[Spoiler=ooc] Was I supposed to do a roll? I didn't know if I was or not so I did one anyway.... I know I'm an idiot =D[/Spoiler]

[Talon Lord Othrim]

[spoiler=ooc] Your not an idiot you did it exactly right.[/spoiler]

Lorundill's arrow flies straight and true into the floor missing the rabbits. They skitter off into the undergrowth.
Lord Algren laughs. "I will set some snare while we get a fire going and some warmth in the hut. Chances are come supper time well have one or two by then."

He enters the dark hut and begins to make preparations.

[spoiler=ooc]A fail lol but still the right thing to do lol [/spoiler]

[dx144]

[spoiler=ooc]Pretty much still an idiot though =P Where is the complaint area so that I can say these dice are broken?[/spoiler]

Lorundil looks embarrassed at failing to hit a rabbit with an arrow and enters the hut to help with the preparations if Lord Algen needs them.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Night decends and the pair sit by the fire warming themselves. The rabbits caught earlier in the snare's Lord Algen make a tasty meals and now while they rest he cleans the skins and the intestines. Without looking up from his task he speaks, "So Lorundil. What brings you so far from the isle of the High Elven? if you don't mind me asking."

[dx144]

"I don't mind you asking Algen." Smiled Lorundil.

"I came over from the Elven Isles a short time ago. Back when my family hadn't been killed by the ravaging forces of Chaos and their minions. But when I was with some Elves who were also volunteers within a party they were returning home I was greeted by a messenger from the High Elven commanders who said my family, village and previous life were completely destroyed by Chaos and their minions. So I thought it would be best to get away from the world I knew and try to help out then others nearby on foreign lands as their was nothing of the High Elven lands for me apart from it being my homeland. I would like to return one day if I can." Said Lorundil shed a tear or two when remembering his former life before Chaos attacked.
