Again shifting his staff to his off hand, Tehr quickly ran through the motions of one of his last spells.  Trying to magically lull the beast to sleep, he completed his spell and then quickly drew a throwing knife from the brace on his wrist.  If this didn't end quickly, it would end very poorly for the two of them.  Reversing the grip on the knife, he prepared for an under hand throw.  One that wouldn't give as accurate or long of a throw, but would allow him to snap it for more power.  He figured that if his spell failed, he'd need the penetration of a stronger throw or the bear would be on him in seconds.  But if he was very lucky, the spell would be enough to coax the beast to sleep.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">the fooferall of me saying underhand grip is just 'fluff' for the story.  Basically Tehr casts sleep then draws a throwing dagger.  :)</div></div>
