Turn 4
While the archers all ran in terror, Cpt. Winters attempted to distract the beast to give them time to calm themselves down.
TurnsGood GuysPre MovementSub: Move up 2 rows
The Bandit: Disengage and move up one row
Winters: Move up one row and engage with werebear (free movement action)
Robbin Hood: Move up 2 rows
BonusWinters: Prepare to charge [5]: You crouch down on your hands and feet, ready to launch foreward in a moments notice. (1 free movement action next turn in addition to other actions)
AttacksWinters: Light Strike front left leg [6]: (180 - 10) = 170 damage! The bear was still recovering from attacking the Bandit while you ran up from behind. You take advantage of the bear's distraction, and slash the bear's front left leg. The blade bites deep in the skin, and the bear howls in pain before turning around to retaliate.
Level Up!Free attack: Swipe Winters [4]: (100 - 20) = 80 damage! The paw slams into Winters' legs, taking them out. The captain's left leg was dislocated and bent at an odd angle, however, the captain stood on his good leg, and let out a defiant roar.
Light Strike Front left leg [1]: Winters goes for another strike, but falls off balance and returns to the ground. The bear takes advantage and tries to finish you off.
Free attack: Bite Winters [1]: But the bear puts too much weight on his injured leg, and falls just like the captain. Winters stands up and strikes again.
Free Attack: light strike front left leg [5]: (120 - 10) = 110 damage! Winters sends the blade into the same leg from the other side. The leg was gushing blood from two locations. It would not take much to send it out of commision.

AttacksSwipe Captain Winters [1]: The bear tries to attack the captain, but his injured arm causes him to miss. The bloodied captain retaliates.
Free Attack: Punch Front Left leg (5 + 1) = [5]: (60 - 10) = 50 Damage! The captain closes a fist, and drives his arm into the open gash on the Werebear's leg. The first disappears into the meat, and comes out with several organic materials in his clutches. The captain had ripped out several blood vessels and nerves inside the leg. At this point, the leg had gone completely limp. This will most certainly affect the bear's speed.
Swipe Captain Winters [3]: (50 - 20) = 30 damage! The bear uses its other paw and once again smacks the captain into the ground. Both combatants were weary, but still determined to finish this.

Way to go Captain Winters!
Since this battle is very close to being over, I think it is time to start reviewing the tests. I have decided that I do really like the movement system, and the battle system. It just needs some balancing on the attacks (what was I thinking when I made pre-patch archers...) A summary of the changes to the battle system I plan to make for the real game:
-add healing as an attack option, in its own category along with ranged and melee attacks.
-give everybody more health. (easier then rebalancing every attack)
If you have any more suggestions for how I could improve the combat system, let me know.
