The bear ripped through the trees just behind Merlin, causing splinters to fly out everywhere. Merlin rolled out of the way as the bear's claw came crashing down, leaving a deep imprint of its paw in the soft forest soil. Merlin dashed back into the trees, but this time began trying to hide his presence.
The bear seemed to be less accurate the more he hid his presence. The bear ripped through more trees, sending hundreds of leaves and splinters into the air. Merlin decided that he'd rather not lead the bear back to town and risk everyone's lives, so he started running towards the yew trees instead.
The bear almost caught him several times, but fortunately it wasn't as accurate as it once was. With Merlin weaving through the trees, the bear could only seem to guess the rough area where he was.
'This bear's awareness stat is way too high.' Merlin thought to himself, dodging another palm strike.
