You all quietly make your way thru the forest, the spell preventing you from being disturbed by other creatures. Eventually, your eyes come across a porcupine-quilled creature built like a grizzly bear with claws and fangs like scimitars. Its forelegs are mangled and scabbed, its eyes shine with hatred and anticipation as it charges towards a deer, and its 11 foot long frame bolts into it, knocking the creature back before its claws begin to rend the flesh of the creature before you.

If it notices you, it does not seem to acknowledge your presence as it begins to rip apart its prey and get its kill.

Whisper looked to the others, to see if they were willing to face the creature.

Thaddeus watches the beast feed on its prey, fascinated by how easily its claws tore through the flesh of the deer.

He gives a nod to Whisper when he notices the genasi look his way.

Thaddeus readied himself, bringing his shield and rod to bear. He was eager to jump into action, but mindful of Whisper's preference to set up an ambush on their prey. As excited as he was to take on the beast in front of them, he was more excite to see Whisper in action.

In the meantime, he spends some energy thinking of witty remarks to spew at the usrapine during their exchange.

Careful to keep his friends within the effects of his magic, Whisper crept away to approach the creature from a different angle when the moment came.

Illiam'iira will keep herself hidden, taking a moment to consider what happened to the beast before pouncing it. LMK if I need to make a roll but she's guessing some sort of trap got to it first.

There is a steep incline below to where the beast, so if you were unable to properly slay it quickly, it moving towards you to retaliate may be slightly difficult, but not impossible. Given the size of its claws and its teeth, having it do so is something that you may wish to avoid.

Thaddeus's Turn. Bear is 40' in front of you, 30' down on that incline.

Waiting for Whisper to spring his ambush, Thaddeus moves quietly forward to maneuver himself so he can blast away the ursaspine if it begins to attack anyone.

Action to ready Eldritch Blast against the beast as it attacks to push it away from its target. Maybe interrupt and impose disadvantage on its attack?

Cornelius moves along with me, staying in the air and invisible.

In the moment before she changes Illiam'iira focuses on their quarry. And then, in her hiding place, transforms.

Free action: Stay in hiding
Action: Why is it bleeding? Insight, Nature, Survival?
Bonus Action: Casting Sylvan Shield (+2 AC, Charisma save DC 17 to attack without disadvantage)
