After a few moments of keeping the beast at bay with only his shield, Vance looked around the battlefield, unable to see the allies that had been paired with him in town. A few villagers were trying to help him by stabbing at the Tiger Bear with makeshift spears, and pitchforks, , but they were quickly forced away by the creatures hind legs, and the occasional distraction from Vance to swing it’s front paws at whoever was nearby.
When Vance gained the beast’s attention back to him, he noticed an unnatural look in its eyes. Vance recognized this as a sign that the beast was under a dark influence, though he assumed that the Tiger Bear would only be this ferocious if it were protecting its young, or hunting for food, but this beast had murderous intent.
Vance was starting to grow exhausted. With only one of his arms in use, he had to try and calculate when the other arm would be a target, and try, very painfully, to move his limp arm out of the way.
He bashed the Tiger Bear straight on the head with the flat part of his shield, causing it to reel back a bit, and shake its head. Vance used this opportunity to form a plan, though not a very good one.
“Eve..” he said, trying to catch his breath. It was a struggle just to hold his shield up to defend himself anymore. “Get back!” he commanded. The tone of his voice was enough for her to feel fear, and to obey. She found a nearby tree to hide behind, not wanting to think of what was going to happen. He was weakened, injured, and the beast barely had a scratch on it.
As soon as the creature regained focus on the Templar, it started to charge again. Using all of his concentration, he started his incantation. A small pool of white light surrounded him, flickering like a moving flame at his feet, growing with intensity as he cast his spell.
“I call forth the light, to banish evil to the depths of hell..” he started, still out of breath from the fight. “.. to bring again the light of day from the darkest night!”
As he finished the incantation, the beast was upon him, but as soon as it was about to attack, Vance raised his shield with his remaining strength, and a white ball of light rose from the ground under the beast, growing smaller, and then exploding in a flash of holy light.
The blast disintegrated the creature, and sent Vance flying through the air, into the tree that Eve was hiding behind. All she heard was his incantation, then a flash of light, and Vance’s armored body slamming into the tree.
After she emerged from hiding, she saw him lying on the ground, face down, and not moving. She panicked! Flying over to him, she tried to nudge him, to see some kind of reaction, but there was nothing. She listened for his breathing, but it was so shallow that it was close to nothing.
She quickly flew back to town, as fast as her small wings would carry her to get help.

Yeah I've been waiting for jerkchicken like

Anyone still alive?
@Jerkchicken It's up to Miercoles to finish the fight.
@Happy Go Lucky Everything Ok?
@Dragonite777 Thank you ^^
After dispatching a few more of the scarecrow demons, he looked over to the spellsword, Miercoles, as he spoke.
"We can exchange names after this. For now let us focus on destroying these pests quickly."
Vance nodded to him as his sword stabbed into another scarecrow, causing the wood and straw to crumble to the ground.
His attention was on his most recent foe when his head jerked to one side quickly at hearing the distinct, deep roar of a Tiger Bear. The beast was so massive, that it shook the ground as it walked, but it wasn't walking, it was charging!
Vance's first instinct was to run, but there was no way that he could outrun it, and he was here to protect the people and slay these demons after all. He didn’t have time to think before the reality of this beast charging at him was sinking in. It ran over a few villagers who were trying to fend off the remaining scarecrows, knocking both friend and foe away like bowling pins.
He readied his shield to block the attack. As soon as he braced his feet, and raised his shield towards the creature, the shield took on a faint white glow, which intensified as the beast got closer. He had time to glance over at the spellsword for a second before the beast rammed into him. Despite his best efforts, he was knocked back by the massive Tiger Bear, holding on to his shield tightly as he quickly recovered. He looked over to the shoulder of his shield arm, it had been dislocated, and he didn’t have time to heal the injury. Now the question, with only one of his arms useable, does he defend with his shield, or forego defense for attack with his sword?
He decided that since he had a spellsword with him, he would be on the defensive, and keep the beasts attention on him. He said a little prayer in his thoughts that his ally was reliable, and most importantly, with his sword dropped, and his shield on his good arm, that Miercoles was able to kill this thing before they both died.

I'll wait until @Pirouette posts, then I'll make my next move.
@Uruvion That was an amazing post.
Thank you ^^
I thought about that scene this morning, and I'm glad that it was a good as I imagined it would be while writing it.
