The day starts cloudy and cold, but Morien rouses everyone early and soon the four of you, with Garr, various huntsmen on foot, and hounds are scouring the...
Morien is not that comfortable with a spear, so he decides to trust his axe and risk closing in on the beastie. Sure, axe will make an uglier tear on the pelt,...
... Tathal is a bit groggy, not being a morning person, but the fresh air soon wakes him up fully and he's soon in the saddle and ready for the hunt. ... ...
Sir Morien dismounts and with shield before him and axe in hand rushes through the pack at the bear. He delivers a hearty blow to the beast, but it does not...

"Better his hide than mine!" Morien replies with a grin, cleaning his axe before replacing it on his belt. "Besides, it will make for a nice bedtime story for...

Drat. No arm-ripping today, it seems. But a return of a comrade is almost as well. Even if he is a loonie. With those thoughts, Morien steps forward, spreading...

Morien takes his axe and hands it to one of the other companions behind him. He then steps forward, unarmed (well, he has his dagger, but that doesn't count,...
... Momentarily Gwair is tempted to intervene and take Morien's place, but realising that his relationship goes further back than his own with Tanicus Gwair...
Tanicus again seems to stumble at the mention of Masilia, and another slight spark seems to be in his eyes for a second but the madness soon returns to claim...
