Living in a country with no bears, I thought I'd ask some advice on the following scene:
A nine-man group is traveling through a forest with a horse and a donkey carrying their supplies. I want to spice up their journey a bit before the real trouble begins, so the thought occurred to have them run into a bear.
How is a bear likely to react to a group of people? They have spears and one has a light bow, but I don't want a fight scene; just a bit of a spook for the characters.
One in the group has some experience with hunting and would know the proper reaction to this situation.
