kjeld has a newer deck inspired by this one: [PUZZLE] Kill Bombur Twice!

Beorn has had enough of fat dwarves eating all his honey cakes! He's going to end Bombur's threat to his larder once and for all, with help of King Brand and a vicious bear.

This is a scenario puzzle based on Seastan's challenges and Truck's revival thereof.

The Scenario

You are at the start of the resource phase. Your threat is 14.

Bombur is in play with Motk, 2x Citadel Plate, 1x Ent Draught, 1x Boots from Erebor, and 3x Spare Pipe.

Brand son of Bain is in play with 1x Hardy Leadership, 1x Song of Battle, 1x Song of Wisdom, 1x Song of Travel, 1x Armor of Erebor, and 1x Warrior Sword.

Beorn is in play with 1x War Axe.

The rest of your deck is in your hand, and each of your heroes has infinite resources.

You are engaged with one Wilderland Bear, and Bee Pastures is in the Staging Area.

After the planning phase, skip directly to the combat phase. The Encounter Deck and Discard Pile are empty.

Bombur must be eliminated by the end of the round. How?

Use use rot13 to encrypt your answer. (I am aware of at least four distinct solutions).

Extra challenge if you've solved it once: Ercynpr Pber Tnaqnys jvgu BUhU Tnaqnys naq fbyir ntnva.

Extra extra challenge if you've solved it twice: Jr Ner Abg Vqyr naq Jvmneq Cvcr ner va lbhe qvfpneq cvyr, jvgu Jr Ner Abg Vqyr ba gbc.
