Gwen had taken one of the sharpened wooden spears in her jaws, testing the heft of it, when the laden warriors appeared. She dropped it to smile at them, though her heart fluttered in concern when she realized it was only the two of them. She had counted on there being a couple more, at least, particularly among the younger adults, and wondered if maybe she should call it off. But the opportunity was too rare to pass up, and so much preparation had already gone into it. They may not get a second chance if they didn't go after this one. "Justice, Laisren," she greeted, showing nothing of her misgivings. "I scented the bear nearby here, near enough that we won't have to drive it far." She picked up a loose spear and trotted over to drop it on the bare ground a good ways before the forest of spears before she spoke again to detail the plan.
"I was hoping there would be more of us so we could split into two groups, but we will have to work with what we have. All three of us will need to track the bear and herd it back this way however we can - bark at it, howl, annoy it into charging at us and follow us, or chase it this direction if it chooses to run. We will bring it to bay against the spears, and each grab one of these loose ones to jab at it from a distance. We don't want to get too close, or it can catch you and pull you close to bite and crush you, so though it will be awkward to hold the spear and attack, don't try to attack it without them. We will try to drive it over backward on top of the spears if we can, or harry it into charging towards someone behind them, and impaling himself onto one." The plan had a lot of variables, and she'd really have preferred to have two separate groups, but this would have to do. She swept the two of them with a calm gaze that betrayed none of her worries. "Be careful. Bears are unpredictable. We can't plan for certain what this one will do, so be aware and be ready to change tactics as needed."
She took a deep breath, then firmed her jaw and with a decisive nod headed off down the bear's trail.
