Selera:
Spirit and Selera continued to watch the Polar Bear intently, continuing the tactic they had used earlier to record his movements. Selera occasionally glanced around, waiting for Unorthodox members to arrive now that the notification was up. They had passed plans between each other, pointing out the flaws in each and changing accordingly. The bear's attack patterns were surprising at times, and they saw how each group tried and failed with many different plans.
Suddenly, something caught their attention. One group had been systematically attacking and avoiding the bear and they had removed his first health bar with minimal damage. They quickly started copying down their attack patterns. The group had clearly been studying the bear like they had. The second health bar was also slowly depleted. The members were starting to tire, but they had clearly planned for that timing too. Then, something happened. Every thirty seconds, the first health bar refilled much of its depleted health. Surprised, the group started backing away, as the members were becoming more tired. This had not been planned for, apparently, and they quickly left the scene.
Selera started to post this on the notification, but Spirit stopped her. "No," he said. "We have an advantage now." Selera nodded and deleted what she had written. They greeted the members of the group as they arrived and gave them copies of their observations, discussing plans with them.
"The regeneration is a huge problem," said Selera. "He seems to regenerate quite a bit of his health every 30 seconds, so we need to kill him quickly during that time."
"The plan that almost worked," mused Spirit. "The plan that almost worked dealt with killing the Polar Bear somewhat slowly so that they could keep their strength up and not waste it all from the beginning. But as we can see, slowly isn't going to work for the last bar." He threw around plans that could possibly get around the regeneration and simulated a few of them with text to see how they might work. Doing it using text would never end up with a perfect model, but it worked well enough for his purposes.
