She throws the stump down just as a bear lunges for her. The maw and claws of the creature tear into her tough clothing... but her skin is left with little more than the white lines of scratched skin. A heavy metal *thunk* comes next as she draws her weapon.
Danielle spends the rest of the day looking for a taxidermist.
