Lucius backed away quickly from the monster before it could catch a sense of him. He was able to circle back to where the party was waiting and informed them of what he saw.
Jen formulated a plan off the information. Essentially, Lucius would circle around to the back of the beast and wait for a few minutes for the party to get into position. He would launch a surprise attack on its backside, and when the bear turned around to attack its assailant, he would back off and at the same time, Rena would launch a spell while Paul shot an Arts enhanced Arrow.
Finally, Jen and Lethen would jump into the fray to engage in direct melee with the beast. Lucius would continue to pester it from its blind spots, and Rena and Paul would continue to provide cover.
"Sound like a plan?" Jen whispered.
