The bear got offscreened like Gojo. 😭

this made my brain picture the bear doing the Yamcha Death Pose

As i heard on a swedish comedy theatre once.
"It does not hurt to fall. But you will beat yourself half to death when you make contact with the ground"

Sounds about right.

Call the ye olde fire brigade haha

The Ye Olde hasn't been invented yet. It's the UggaBugga HOT HOT Brigade.

Getting 'high' was the easy part, scared out of his wits...

Heh, whenever I want!

Ah yes, "blinking."

When the adrenaline kicks in, sometimes your conscious brain takes a breather and turns things over to your subconscious, or even your "lizard brain," and you "blink."

One moment you're facing the threat that juiced your adrenal glands, and the next you're either huffing and puffing, surrounded by defeated enemies, or you're a considerable distance away from your original location, with added height included.

Our Shaman seems to have had a mixture of the two.
