The woman does not react at Ryota's words. From your time on the temple before joining the caravan, it wouls seem as if she's under someone else's control.

“I don’t think she’s listening to you.” Ryo jokes to Ryota.
With Freyja engaging with the beast, he retreats back 30 feet away (if it doesn’t provoke opportunity attack from the bear, I’m not sure how close it is), hiding behind the bushes and pull out his bow, firing at the black bear.
Ryota switches his mace to his right hand, waves it side to side in front of him in time to his incantation, pointing his mace at the bear on the 2nd oi! After that he approaches to melee range of the bear, ready to start bashing it with his mace.
Holy light descends upon the bear, barely damaging it. The woman shoots her bow, aiming at random (1: Ryota, 2: Freyja, 3: Ryo. 3) Attack: 11 Damage: 5 against Ryo
An arrow flies among you, missing its target. The bear turns toward Ryota and attacks. Claws: 7 Damage: 4 Bite: 21 Damage: 8
The bear paws miss, but its fangs dig deep at Ryota's arm.
"That's too bad," Ryo calls out from behind, his voice cheery and bright, "I'd say they're missing out."
The arrow flies past, tearing through the air with a harsh wind that scrapes against Ryo's shirt, his white puffy ruffled sleeve cut by the tail of the arrow, revealing the delicate and fragile needlework. Ryo closes one eye and refocuses his aim, firing another arrow at the ferocious beast.
OOC: don't worry about posting in the other thread, I'm learning how to manage two threads too. If it's too much hassle we can merge them into a single one.

The first sensation that came with the arrow gust was not pain, but coldness, spreading slowly like drowning water, and it was only when he looked down that he saw that his white sleeve was already red with blood. Ryota's outstretched hand glowed with a holy light, warmth seeping closer from the wound, and Ryo gave a faint smile, before stepping back and keeping some distance between him and the woman. "Thanks, but I don't think she's listening."
Lathander's light descends upon Ryo, stopping the bleeding instantly. Freyja swings her greatsword, hitting the woman and causing her to bleed. She looks ar her wound idly, as if it didn't bother her at all.
Ryo's arrow flies straight into her. Again she doesn't react, but drops dead on the spot.

Luther's first arrow hits the monster, closest to him, which is now looking damaged. It then closes the distance and retaliates with its tentacles. Attack: 18 Damage: 6 Attack: 12 Damage: 3
The second monster moves towards Ryota, flailing its tentacles. Attack: 21 Damage: 3 Attack: 22 Damage: 5
Both Luther and Ryota are grappled by the creatures (escape DC 13), which still have a free tentacle to keep attacking.
Having combat in a separate thread should make it easier to follow the plot.

Freyja's blow leaves the bear on the brink of death. Not a moment after, a shot from Ryo flies through, finishing it.
The woman ahead does not react at the bear going down and shoots a second arrow at Ryo without taking a step.
Attack: 19 Damage: 7
This time the arrow finds the rogue, a red blot starts to stain his white shirt.

Ryo! Hang in there!
Ryota reaches out with his shield, tapping Ryo - <cure wounds> 4
With that he moves forwards to the strange woman - Hey, lady, put the bow down. I don't want to hurt you...
"But she clearly means to hurt us!" Freyja charges, makes an attack at the woman.
Attack: 16
Damage: 11

OOC: combat is over, back to the other thread.
That happens to me when I try to edit a post that ends on a dice roll. You can add an empty line at the end and then edit it normally.
The monsters are looking hungry and coming for you. Luther goes first.

Luther calmly raises his bow, mutters an awkward incantation and fires at the closest creature: Attack: 25 Damage: 7
(OOC the incantation has no effect, it's something he is working on)
Luther then moves away from the group in order to draw the monsters.
Luther's first arrow hits the monster, closest to him, which is now looking damaged. It then closes the distance and retaliates with its tentacles.
Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Attack: 12 Damage: 3
The second monster moves towards Ryota, flailing its tentacles.
