Seeing the bear close with Sean, Richard leaps into action, charging towards the bear and slamming his shield into its side. It didn't exactly put him in the best position, but it would get the beast's attention away from the others.

Gonna indulge Richard's protectiveness and be reckless with an All-Out Attack (Determined), moving to 1 yard away and bashing with his shield (Deceptive Attack -4 skill for -2 to its defence roll). Unsure if we're using tactical combat rules, but if so he's presumably attacking from the side for -2 defence.

It'll probably get him swiped for his troubles but hey.
