21-85: 1x Black Bear (100 XP, 20 gp)

I'm trying to sneak up on the bear at max distance for Sorcerous Burst because I'm fire giant, I'll hit him with fire damage and use my daily fire's burn power to deal more damage.
First I need to roll perception to spot the bear at max range, perception 12 and my initiative is 21 and the bear is 8

The bear just double moves 60 feet
Sorcerous Burst Attack: 9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
I'm moving away from the bear my max movement

I failed my perception so the bear starts 60 feet away and now he's next to me and he gets to attack first.

Rend Attack: 18 Damage: 3 
Rend Attack: 15 Damage: 7 

If one attack hits then I use hellish rebuke dex 13 19

I only took 6 damage and the bear takes 10. I've got 4 hp left and the bear has 9. I will healing word myself as a bonus for 11. And I will true strike with my quarterstaff arcane staff with my fire burn Attack: 7 Damage: 15

If he makes it he takes half, 14. Full is 24 damage. Half is 19 damage dead either way.

gitar returns to the demon cave. I'll use the game log to roll this time. He finds another bear, this one is a brown bear.

Having spot the brown bear with a 19 perception, we start at max range rolling init 6 bear 19.
The bear goes like this double move. Sorcerers burst rolls a nat 1 and I run away (90 feet from the bear)
Now the bear moves 30 away and I do it again, this time a nat 20 for Sorcerers burst rolls 5 and 8 an extra d8 rolls 5 and fire burn rolls 9 for a huge total of 27 damage and he only has 22 hitpoints and I get 200 XP and a bounty of 80 gp. gitar will celebrate at the inn tonight with another comfortable night at the inn

Rahne and Eclipse, on Tiny the Mastiff as normal, resumed their trek in the Canyon. They soon enough encounter a Knight standing astride the path. They close to 60' before hailing him. 

"Hey buckethead, you here to clean up the bandits or are you one of them varmints?" Eclipse's way with words reflected her Insight (20) that this guy was not an ally.  

Initiative Rahne 13, Eclipse 13, K (nat 20)

R1

In response, the Knight shoots a bolt at Eclipse but misses (11)

Rahne throws two javelins (attack 8, 10) that both miss then covers over half the distance to their newest foe. 

Eclipse sends a Guiding Bolt at the well-armored man and sees him briefly light up (attack 19, damage 12)

R2

K decides to close the gap with Rahne to swing his great sword twice to no effect (attack 8, 8)

Rahne laughs as he pulls out his great axe and says "This will cut you down better than your butter knife" (attack 17, 19 for damage 7) he successfully disarms the K (7+3=10 saving throw)

Eclipse returns to sending Sacred Flames against her enemies while the K is distracted by losing his sword (saving 11, damage  7)

R3

The knight retrieves his sword and gets on the defensive 

Rahne attacks with his great axe (21, 18) The K manages to avoid the second using his Parry skills but the first scratched him for 5hp damage. Rahne decides to use his Evasive Footwork (+6AC)

Eclipse attacks with her Sacred Flame (save 19) but the K easily dodges it and causes her to think she should get herself a hand crossbow or something similar 

R4

The K attacks Rahne twice with the great sword (9, 9) but misses both times

Rahne Surges to attack three times with his great axe (10, 14, 18) but only connects on the last for 13 damage (K down to 8hp)

Eclipse sends another Sacred Flame (save nat 1) that lights him up (8 damage) with his plate turning an burnt orange color as he dies. 

They prepare the camp for the night since the knight's armor will take some time to cool off. Rahne collects one of his javelins and they feed Tiny the Mastiff and themselves. When the temperature is acceptable, they load the knight onto the cart, separate from his plate amor, great sword, and heavy crossbow. They each gain 350xp.
