Never let it be said that that the Dalish ability to shimmy up a tree like a squirrel isn't an impressive talent. Mildly frustrating to the Seeker in this moment, but impressive nonetheless. At least up the tree, the elf will be safe enough from the bear. Safer than on the ground.

Assessing the situation for what it is, Aleron reaches into his saddlebags and pulls out an apple to lob at the bear to get its attention. Yes the Dalish is treed, but if he can draw the bear away from a waiting snack, he can lure it a safe distance away then loop back. With any luck he'll startle up some wild rabbit or nugs to scatter into the creature's path as well.
