Unfortunately, just as the party made their way into the filthy, mushroom-filled chamber, the enormous owlbear barreled into the room, screeching with fury,<em>especially</em>when he hit it with the ray. Instinctively, it charged towards him, Sak'bas sweeping into position in front of him... and blocking the creature's crashing blow, though she ground furrows into the dirt from the sheer force of the blow.<br/><br/>Alison swept a haste spell across the party, while Serena peppered it with bullets - but she couldn't get close enough to risk shooting point blank, and her shots seemed to be mostly absorbed by its thick hide. Sena called a sleet storm, to try to slow it and keep it in place, while Sak'bas focused purely on defense, holding herself steady and trying to keep its attention. Only Korima seemed to actually hurt it, which caused it to turn its glare towards her, as she scampered to safety.
