OOC: So sorry for not being able to post till now. I may or may not have miscalculated time and then spent three hours playing Skyrim.
Esteran, not very good at thinking far ahead, was now in the process chased down by the same bear in which he used to kill the Thalmor chasing him. He had already depleted his stamina potions and magicka potions, when he caught sight of an incredibly odd looking cave. Esteran, not familial bears at all, decided he would lose a BEAR inside a CAVE. Seemed like a good idea at the time. He ducked his head and ran inside. The bear, obviously not very afraid of it's neighbors' cave, ran in after him. The bear's plan, as well as Esteran's, did not go as planed. No sooner then they set foot/paw in that cave, a mob of angry vampires attacked them. Esteran, with his advanced knowlage of other creatures, could slightly communicate with wildlife. (Not the talking way, just on some sort of magical/primal level.) Esteran gave a slight nod to the bear, and the bear bared his teeth in agreement. Niether of them felt like dying. Esteran boosted the bear with a courage spell and healed him bit, then started to hurl lightning bolts at his foes. Between him and a bear, the half dozen vampire fledglings stood no chance what so ever. Well, granted it took about an hour for Esteran to fully heal both the bear and himself. It seemed that the bear had stopped trying to kill him, and with the occasional calming spell, fell asleep next to him.
