Round 2
Seeing the others move into position, and knowing the Taldan knight is ready to charge the exhibit-smashing owlbear, Vasily rushes forward, trying to hide behind the nearby bookcase before the powerful foe can see him. Once in place he draws his rapier, hoping to get behind the creature in the next round. As he rushes forward he peers at the owlbear trying to figure out what he might know about the creature. Once in place the begins singing a Varisian hunting song that he learned long ago in the caravans of his people.
No "special" attacks, but it has 10' reach and a bite and 2 claws (all at +13). Special abilities include:
Haunted (Su) An animated owlbear mascot is haunted by a
spirit. It takes damage from positive energy as if it were an
undead creature and can be detected by detect undead.
Reinforced (Ex) Due to its barding and the powerful psychic resonance that powers its body, an animated owlbear mascot gains 15 additional hit points, a +6 armor bonus to AC, and a +3 bonus on all saving throws.
Between Daniel and Peribras, the owlbear is riddled with arrows, but it seems to pay them little attention as it roars at you.

Studying the target while his allies are pelting it with arrows, Vasily calls out in between stanzas of his hunting song:"It's not a typical owlbear, but a spirit animated thing. Since it is akin to an undead creature, it should be vulnerable to divine positive energy. Also, it's psychic resonance makes it tougher than a typical wild creature, making it harder to hit and with more vitality than expected. Watch out for it's long reach and the claws and bite will penetrate most light and medium armor if not careful!"
Ajir makes a lot of noise and flash, but doesn't come close to hitting the owlbear.
Clyde misses with his attack, and Dortlin trips the owlbear. As the owlbear tries to react, both Clyde and Dortlin are able to destroy it.
Long shadows cast by ruined displays and broken furniture litter the floor around Lance. A humanoid-shaped figure made of shattered clockwork lies slumped over a bench. Above, an elaborately painted sign reads “Crusader’s Chronicles.”

(Lookout feat)
From the shadows, a beast-cat pounces on Lance. His horse, Flash, catches the scent in time to react, which gives Lance the edge he needs to move quickly as well.
For every 5 that you beat the DC, you may ask for one piece of information from this list.

Startled at the sudden appearance of the cat from the shadows, Vasily is taken aback enough that any memory of this type of beast eludes him, just on the tip of his tongue...He regains himself enough to begin another tune. This time a bawdy Taldor song about a knight who loved a lady and her fluffy kitty...
As Lance moves away, the cat takes a swipe at the horse's flank.
Then it charges (pounce) after horse and rider, trying to take down the rider.

Peribras tumbles off of Darkpaw as he sends her to attack the panther. His tumble does not go as smoothly as he might like, but he still manages to land on his feet and take aim at the cat with an arrow from his bow.

Dortlin guides Clyde into position via the Chameleon Glide trick they laboriously trained on.
And he will have Clyde attack the cat.

If Owlbear is still alive it gets +2 to hit and dmg on it's first attack against Dortlin or Clyde.
Edit: If the cat still lives after Clyde's attack Dortlin will use the Aid token to add to his attack.
Dortlin takes a hit as he moves by the cat, then he spin Clyde around and both attack, each injuring the cat .
Everyone else misses.
Lance's horse manages one swift kick to the cat's side, but it isn't until the second stab with the lance that you see a significant injury to the beast. It clearly did not like that lance.
The cat turns on Dortlin and attacks.

Seeing that his usual weapon is not fully effective Dortlin switches to his +1 cold Iron nodachi and attacks.
Clyde will full attack it.

If it survives the attacks it gets +2 to hit and dmg on it's first attack.
The arrows both miss, but the wolf manages to get a hold of the cat's leg.
The nimble cat bites back at the wolf, and then smacks it with two paws.
As Daniel manages to put two arrows into the cat's flank, Lance comes charging in and skewers the beast, pinning it to the ground with his lance through it's neck. The cat dies instantly.
This was an advanced dwemercat. Cat had DR/5 magic, and an AC of 27 (+8 Dex, +1 dodge, +8 natural). Daniel did not confirm his threat, but only missed it by 1. The other arrow only hit because a natural 20. Had you had anyone casting spells at it, it would have gotten much nastier quick!
Gears, glass, and chunks of wax litter the polished wood floor under a sign that proclaims “Scars of the Lich.” The corpse of a Kellid warrior lies in a pool of blood, her furs soaked through. A constant ticking and whirring sound echoes in this area.
