Disturbed overnight

I was awoken late in the night by cries from Daran, who had seen a bear close by.  The animal seemed attracted to our fire, which was still burning.  We all leaped from the beds, but I had no weapon.  Kenner threw me a long dagger, and told me to use it only for defence, that they'd be dealing with the danger.

The bear charged when it saw the Daran against the firelight - that seemed to be their cue to collectively jump into action.  There was a flash of light from Elenhugh and magic sprang into the air.  I've not seen this kind of thing often, its not popular in the delve.  The bear took the full brunt of it but kept running at Daran.  Then Kenner and Daran together sprang at the animal hacking chunks off it.  It fell before it could swing one of its heavy paws.  They left the animal there and went back to bed.

I handed Kenner his knife back and went back to my own bed.  I think I was out asleep again as soon as my head was down on the leaves.

In the morning I was awoken by the sound and smell of cooking meat.  We were having huge thick bear stakes for breakfast.  Barr was cooking them on a larger than normal fire.  I have no idea where he got the firewood from.

Over breakfast Kenner gave me my sword and bow back.  He said he'd spoken to the others and they felt they could trust me a little more now.

We're now packing out the camp, and heading uphill.  I've been given a large sack to carry, from the smell of things it contains raw meat.
