Audrunar turned his face to Erika, giving her an angry look. “If it pleases you, [i]huntress[/i].” Audrunar inched forwards after argueing with Erika, closer to the bear, which was now turning to Faen as he began yelling out to the others. Perhaps.. if he could lure the bears attention away long enough, Audrunar could push his shield into it's side and push it away while hacking at it.. Right when Audrunar was about to push himself into the dirt to crash himself into the bear, Faen began mocking the gods. Audrunar angrily pointed his axe at Faen. “Don't mock the Gods. If we die, atleast we go to Valhalla. Well, some of us..” It was clear he was telling Faen off for not being brave enough, mocking him for being unable to go to Valhalla. However, the bear subtly walked towards Faen, slowly until it realized it was close enough.. then roared as he stood on his backpaws, swiping at Faen in sudden rage. The bear obviously had enough of this bickering and waiting - it wanted it's prize and at this moment Faen was the one yelling the loudest. 

Audrunar sprung into action and jumped forwards, yelling and screaming; “ODIIIIIIIN!” as he swung his axe towards the bear, in an attempt to save Faen from impending death if he did not act soon enough. The axe barely did more than a scratch to the bear, cutting into his front left shoulder, but caused the bear to direct his anger towards Audrunar. Audrunar backed off a bit, but it was too late and the bear let itself fall onto Audrunar in an attempt to scratch, claw and bite him. Rather luckily for Audrunar, he managed to put the shield in between him and the bears mighty jaws, but fell over as a result from the impact between them, causing the bear to be standing over Audrunar who had his shield raised up to defend against the pounding of the shield. One of the strikes passed by the shield however, clawing into Audrunars thorax, making him wince in pain. Hopefully he had given Erika her wish by fighting the bear. In an attempt to strengthen his grip on the shield he put his other hand on the back as well, dropping his axe close to him but leaving him defenseless in the process. 

“Faen.. Erika.. anyone! Lure this beast...” he paused for a second to let go of a grunt of strength as he tried to push the bear a bit further away, “.. lure it far away!” Soon enough the bear would realize he didn't [i]have[/i] to pound the shield to get to Audrunar and would go for the legs or the hands. If anyone was to act, they'd better act fast.
