Lelika smiles at you praise, sheepishly admitting, "Thank you Alison. In truth I am surprised I made the shot...I didn't think I would. But I trusted in Loviatar and the Maiden guided my shot," she tries her best to be modest as she tucks away the bow and picks up her whip and shortsword again. When she reaches the bird's corpse she retrieves the broken, bloodied arrow head and a single pale feather as a trophy.<br/><br/>You continue through the spares forest, but after a while your apprentice addresses you. "Mistress," she says cautiously, despite being emboldened by her earlier success. "Maybe I should follow you through the trees. I may be able to hide, but your armour is preventing you from doing so..."<br/><br/>However well intended Lelika's thought were they prove to be useless. After another hour and a half of searching you come across a grotto in side of a cliff, a clear pool directly in front of opening, and standing on the edge is a brown bear, tense and ready to defend its territory. Or maybe the territory of its mistress, as a soft voice dripped in honey calls out, "I know you are there. Both of you," then gains the barest of edges, "You have brought steel into my territory. Leave now, be on your way," the bear growls and on a branch a hawk the size of a child squawks and spreads its wings. Lelika looks from the bird to the bear, then to the cave were the nymph hides. "Wi one?" she mouths silently.<br/><br/>OOC: You would have had time to cast a couple of spells in preparation. The hawk is readying an action to see if you leave (the bear will too most likely) and the nymph is hidden. You are 50ft away from the cave entrance, but the distance cannot be charged (no straight line). Initiative order as follows:<br/><br/>Bear - 12<br/>Hawk - 23<br/>Nymth - 18<br/>Lelika - 21
