Tariq's shot hits the flank of the rabid beast, causing a small squib of blood to hit the ground.

Simone furiously steps in and swipes at the bear from the other side with her staff. She hits home, whacking the monster but not killing it.

(OOC: Step, Attack, hit for 3 injury crushing.)

The bear, meanwhile, raises its claw at Richard and brings it down...but the stalwart defender avoids the savage onslaught!

(OOC: Step, Attack, potential hit, but Richard successfully defends.)
