Full Immersion [for what it's worth]

See if we can open a portal inside the bear. Stab it's heart and lungs.

Better idea: Stab it in the brain. Preferably with a portal right in the frontal lobe. Because there is no way no how that the brain has any defense at all. Worst case we can stab it in it's weak sensory organs: the eyes, ears and nose. Or maybe even just stab it's throat's insides to fill it with blood until it can no longer breath. So many options that result in instant death or debilitation, so little time.

Surely a Dimensional Samurai could cut off limbs using portals themselves? Open two portals, lead the bear into stepping through one, then close them both.

And could Unit Circle be made to have its spikes suddenly and violently turn inward when a hostile enters it? Would be more effective that way.

If these are possible, perhaps have the severing of the limb cause the bear to stumble into a Circle, and then finish it if necessary. Either way, it shouldn't be moving afterwards.

Louis has an idea, and quickly tries it. He swipes his sword at the air, trying to place the other portal in--and his sword strikes something with a dull sound, bouncing back, as if it were a normal sword hitting something solid, and way too hard for it to cut.

"The h***?" He tries again, with the same result.
"What are you doing?!"

The bear gathers its energy and turns, slowly toward the priest and the warrior.

"I'm trying to make a portal inside the bear. It's not working!"
"Of course it isn't working idiot, if you could do that you could just simply--S***! MOVE!"

The bear charges toward the pair, and the warrior pushes the priest aside and holds out his sword. Jeannette moves to get in the way, but can't run as fast as the bear. Louis cuts a portal below him and drops through, landing next to the warrior and holding his own sword out, all before realizing he could have just sent his sword without himself.

The bear stops rather suddenly with a very concerning snap from both of its legs as inertia pushes its body into leaning forward partway, and then it slowly leans back to an upright position. On closer inspection, as Jeannette makes it to the other two, the bear's legs have some impossibly strong vines with a slight greenish glow wrapped around them, completely covering halfway up and a bit of the vines going a bit farther.

Louis pauses to look at the warrior. "Uh, hey, did you do that?"
He shakes his head no.
"Well I didn't do that and she didn't do that--"
"S***, never mind who did it, just take advantage of it already."
"Oh, right!" Louis opens up a portal underneath the bear's left foot, and moves away as it slips through. The bear tries to pull its leg back out of the portal, and Louis tries to 'will' the portal close; both are unsuccessful (the former due to the magical vines still holding the leg down), at least until the usual time is up and the portal shuts and drops a very bloody chunk of bear leg on the ground; the cat-man naturally backs away from that.

The vines seem to turn into bits of grass and blow away, and the bear leans down on the stump of its leg, roaring and drawing its left arm back for a big swipe. Then an arrow stabs it in the eye, and it has to use the arm to reflexively grab at that instead. The bear gives a somewhat weaker roar of pain and starts sweeping its other arm around randomly, not really hitting much of anything since the three people who were in range before have now moved over next to the priest lying on the ground, well out of it.

The warrior helps the priest up, and he mutters something like "Praise Solaris." Louis cuts a portal underneath him and above the bear and falls down through, landing sword-first in the bear's skull, feet on the arm holding its eye in pain, and then pushes himself and the sword back out again before backflipping away. The bear slumps to the ground and stops moving with anything resembling intention, instead just twitching a little bit.
