While Newa is on watch, she starts to drift off to sleep, when she hears a branch snap as one of the trip lines is broken!  She sees a large brown bear lurking nearby and staring at her intently. 

Brown Bear 26 HP

(Does anyone have a trait that this noise would wake them?  If not, let's assume everyone else is asleep.)

((Oh no! lol. I definitely don't have any traits that would cause me to wake up. But, depending on how loud the trip line alarms are, should you roll the sound of the alarm against all of our passive perceptions to see whether or not we wake up? My Passive Perception is 12 if you decide to do that.))

 Chikra and Krusk wake up at the sound of the branch.

Krusk sees the bear, gets out his Pike +1 and yells, “EVERYBODY, GET UP! THERE’S A BEAR!” He positions himself so he’s slightly in front of Newa.

((Assuming Hallanann wakes up at the sound of Krusk's yelling))

Hallanann looks to see where the threat is and groggily and casts Fire Bolt at the bear.

Ranged Spell Attack to hit: 16
If it hits, Damage: 1

((The goal/purpose for casting Fire Bolt is to attempt to scare the bear away...so... Intimidation? 19))

Vor awakens at Krusk's shout, and, picking up a suitable rock, hurls it at the bear, making sure to keep out of it's reach all the while.

RD1

Attk   17   Dmg   5   (I am using Vor's thrown dagger damage, as I figure they would be comparable)

"Blast, what is it with these bears?  Bears here, bears there, bear's in m' bloody br'kfast!"

Chikra will grab her sword and shield and stand. Roaring, she'll bang her sword and shield together, also trying to scare the bear off. (Strength-based intimidation, with advantage since others are doing the same, but feel free to take the first roll if you disagree: 5) (Lol, well, advantage didn't matter - we're apparently not a very scary bunch)

Krusk tapes at the bear in Orc, attempting to scare it away. Intimidation: 16

Krusk - Yells

Hallanann - casts Fire Bolt doing 6 damage

Vor - hurls a rock which glances off of the bears fir coat.

Chikra - Yells at the bear, but her voice cracks and it sounds more like a bird call than a roar.

Krusk - taps at the brown bear, and it ducks down, but then runs and lunges at Hallanann.

Bite Attack: 23 Damage: 6 vs AC 15

Claw Attack: 22 Damage: 12 vs AC 15

Hallanann takes 8 damage from the bite. (23-8=15 HP)

Brown Bear 26-6=20 HP

RD 2

Fading back and around behind the creature (Stealth. 16) Vor will slice at its rear legs with his rapier.

Attk.  21.  Dmg.  10

Hallanann yells out in pain, moves about 15' away from the brown bear, and then casts another fire bolt.

Ranged spell attack to hit: 24
Damage if it hits: 9

Kursk attacks the Brown Bear with his Pike +1.

To hit: 10

Damage: 8

Lia would probably be awake by this point.  She scrabbles to her feet, taking an action to summon her heavy crossbow into her hand.

As the bear moves in to attack her allies, Chikra will strike out, flanking with Kursk for advantage on both attacks. Attack (longsword, 2-handed): 14 Damage: 5 Bonus action attack (tail blade): 16 Damage: 4.

Vor - moves behind the bear and attacks doing 4 damage. 

Halllanann - casts [Tooltip Not Found] but misses

Krusk - does 12 damage with his pike

Chikra does 20+6 damage

The bear is vanquished.  200XP/5= 40XP each.  You sleep uninterrupted until 8:00, gaining the benefits of a long rest.  (Adjust your spells before approaching the temple.)

There are two ways up the mountain to the temple from your camp site.  You can take a 3 mile winding path through the pine woods up the hillside, or you can shorten your trip to 2 miles by bypassing the stairs and going directly up the hill side.  Neither look easy.  The stairs are in sad shape.  Some of the stones have rolled down the hill exposing washed out sections.  There are many loose rocks, and area's lacking vegetation going directly up the hill.

Hallanann, looking at the two paths, says, "I think we might have a better go of it if we take the longer route. It's more time for us to be exposed to a potential threat between here and the temple, but the path looks more navigable."

"Anyone good at spotting traps?"  Lia asks, eyeing the stairs.  "Seems like the path would be more likely to have those, but I do agree it would be an easier path for us."  She will travel towards the middle of the group, heavy crossbow summoned and in hand.

Vor nods, “Aye, either way’ll be difficult to travel inconspicuously to say nothing of safely, but I agree that the stairs be best. Crappy footing either way.”

He looks over the party, “I’ll go first, just keep me covered.”

“Yeah, lets take the longer route. Don’t be hasty, that’s what my uncle always told me.” Krusk says to the group.
