She will be holding the 'Help' action for when Melchor does a spell attack...
Oops! Right!
Melchor can act as well (oversight last night)
Normally I'll have maps and run combat a bit differently. In my mind there is about 30 feet between the campfire and Olaerys, who is out of the foliage by about 10 feet. Fr'reona, Randall and Melchor are in the trees and have partial cover. I'll give them line of sight on a bandit so no disadvantage.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Melchor reaches out in the direct of the nearest bandit, whispering a few discordant words and making a grasping motion with his damaged fingers... As he does so, a large Raven, feathers light-swallowing black, but with a hint of an irridescent shimmer on the wingtips, hovers above the bandit to provide assistance - distracting the bandit from an incoming ghostly image of a skeletal hand, grasping at their throat...
Attack: 22 Damage: 1
Melchor has cast Chill Touch, help-ed by Glimmer. If the hand hits the bandit, they cannot recover any hp until the start of Melchor's next turn...
Olaerys watches as three arrows whistles past his face.
The first bandit (B1), poor bastard, takes an axe to his side that sends blood pouring out. As he's dealing with that he becomes startled by a raven flying right at his head, and is unable to avoid the ghostly hand that squeezes the remaining life force out of him.
B4 narrowly gets a nocked arrow off before getting mauled from behind by the now loose and enraged bear.
Combat begins again with Panga. B1 is dead, B4 is badly wounded and engaged with the bear. B2 and B3 appear to be peeing themselves, and if they aren't they should be!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Although Panga is still upset about the bear, now that it is exacting its revenge she is less thirsty for blood. She readies an arrow and waits while yelling out to the others, "Let's see if we can get any information from these fools!"
(If they stay hostile she will shoot, but she is hoping they will surrender.)

The bear, suddenly free, is unpleased to see it's captors, and angrily bites B4, ending it's life
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Having killed one of its former captors the bear launches itself at B3 and savagely swings at his head with his huge paw, destroying the man's shoulder and arm
Frail will extend her club to the ground and a mass of earth and rock forms on the end. She then moves up and brings her Shillelagh to bare on B3 of they are still standing (or the closest enemy)

Melchor starts to walk forwards, moving carefully through the undergrowth. 'Surrender now and you may yet live!' he calls out to B2, the Raven's screech punctuating his demand...
Intimidation, helped by Glimmer: 15
(OOC: WIll update/replace if events out-pace this)
As Randall is finally reaching melee range the fight seems all but over. He will use his movement to circle around looking to cut off any path to retreat for survivors. Shield up, spear out.

Olaerys steps forward and turns his battle axe sideways, swinging down on the head of the bandit furthest away from the bear (B4?), attempting to knock him out. (Nonlethal damage if permitted.)

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

Olaerys' wild swing misses B2 and B3, heavily wounded by the bear, grabs his his ears as if something terrifying sounded in them, although he doesn't appear to take any damage. B2 reacts strongly to the authoritative Melchor, dropping his weapons. B3, fighting for his life against an angry bear, is unable to collect himself and tries to fight the thing off but unable to get an effective stab in.
Attack: 4 Damage: 3
The bear does not seem to be as merciful as Melchor and his companions...
"Where are Bero and Nerise? Tell me, or by the gods we'll let that bear feed you to its cubs!" Randall will shout in anger at any surviving bandit.

The bear, still enraged, Simultaneously bites and ravages B3 with it's claws:
Attack: 5 Damage: 8
Attack: 15 Damage: 8
The damage is heavy, and B3 is left in a bloody pulp being savaged by the creature.
Having watched his friends get disemboweled, B2 yells in fear, with urine coming down his leg
"CALL THE BEAR OFF! HELP ME! I'll tell you anything, i'll DO anything!!!" B2 begins to empty his pockets, sending coins flying everywhere and runs toward Panga, hoping for respite. Turning to Randall, the bandit says
"Who are Bero and Nerise??? I don't know anything about them!!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BEAR PLEASE"
Frail says to the bear "Well fought kindred, but we need this one alive for now. You've avenged your capture, please, allow us to find what we need.... Plus, you know this one's scent now." She says menacingly.
The bear seems very soothed and stands down from it's aggressive 2 legged posture. It sniffs once, looks pointedly at Panga and Frail, and disappears into the woods

Ill update after Melchor.

End of round;

Having killed one of its former captors the bear launches itself at B3 and savagely swings at his head with his huge paw, destroying the man's shoulder and arm
Attack: 6 Damage: 10
(Slightly out of turn, but)
Frail will extend her club to the ground and a mass of earth and rock forms on the end. She then moves up and brings her Shillelagh to bare on B3 of they are still standing (or the closest enemy)
Now at 60 ft Fr'reona puts up her crossbow. Takes her right hand and points at B3. She casts Toll the Dead then says
"Decay!"
As the sound of a dolorous bell fills the air around B3 for a moment
Damage 6 necrotic
Melchor starts to walk forwards, moving carefully through the undergrowth. 'Surrender now and you may yet live!' he calls out to B2, the Raven's screech punctuating his demand...

Ooc: Yep, just waiting for Olaerys before moving forward

Next to Frail, Panga is also attempting to calm the bear, engaging it with her body language and presence to add to Frail's words.
