Soren stays at the entrance, bow ready in case any more man-bears show up.
I'll keep watch while you guys look around. Call if you need me.
Eduard will look at the pool.
Eduard touches the water ever so slightly as he examines it and nods, looking at Alexander, nodding again, and then to the rest of the group. Looks like something beneficial. A minor healing magic of some sort. Though I'm not sure how long the magic would persist were it to be removed from the pool, drinking straight from it should mend small wounds.
Radomir Ducks his head at Alexzander's admonishment. Forgive me, my lord, I did not think. I do not wish to bother you, or the others. We were trained to be self-sufficient, to place those we serve above us. He kicks the ground, almost like a child, and becomes very fascinating with Czernabog's harness. I... I do not know how to ask for such help. It is difficult to do so. I will try next time
He gestures to the water after Eduard mentions it's properties. Perhaps I may have some of that water? I am not yet fully healed, and will be of poor service in fire combats.. If the others don't raise a big fuss, Radomir will drink enough water to get to full health.
Eduard shrugs, stepping aside and motioning to the water, I don't personally see any problem in drinking it. Unless you follow a faith that would object to you consuming what is basically holy water, I imagine it will work quite effectively.
Alexander shrugs, Seems like it'd be fine.
Well, since we are all healthy now and there is nothing to be found, we can probably just mark this place on our map and continue on.
Agreed. Alexander mounts and is ready to leave whenever everyone else is.
Radomir, realizing that he is fully healed, leaves the water alone and mounts his trusty steed to follow his lord and master on to pacify the wilderness!
Recognizing the area to the east as the familiar territory where the bandit camp was, your group decides to head south.
As you make your way through the forest exploring, you soon realize that you are not going to be going anywhere stealthily at the moment. Your mysterious little followers have decided that Radomir is the funnest to pelt with acorns because they make such a wonderful pinging sound off of his armor.
Looks like a boar lives here. Probably an exceptionally large one.
How exceptional are we talking here? Big-ish? Pony, horse...dragon?
Anyone up for bacon? Mm...Bacon. *slobber*
Radomir looks around, searching for the annoyance. Blast! Are we under attack milord?
There might be an attack depending if the boar is awake or here.
Damn acorns! Radomir shakes the nuts free from his cloak. What boar?
Thaliar was once again lost in thought as they were riding and only noticed the boars den once it was pointed out, "I suspect somewhere between pony and horse. It's bound to be quite fierce."
He turned to Radomir, "Ignore the acorns. It's some fey, probably not the ones we met before, having fun. Don't react and they'll get bored and annoy someone else."
Well if we have no need for pork, then we can move on.
As you prepare to move on again, you all can hear the noise of a large animal walking through the forest. Something that is making no effort at all to move quietly.
As you all turn to the source of the sound, you see a very large and angry looking boar burst though the trees and stares with it's little beady eyes at the intruders near its lair.
I wonder if this is truly a bear.
Eduard will move to cast Magic Weapon on Soren's bow.
Andrea casts Cause Fear at the bear. Save DC 14 or be a scared boar.
Radomir lowers his lance and spurs Czernabog into a charge. Steed and knight are one, as they course through the underbrush of the forest, lance at the ready to run the massive creature through.
x3 if crit
Come! We dine on roast boar tonight!
Alexander laughs as the boar bursts into the clearing, Yes, that would be exceptional alright. He pulls knees his horse circle around the creature and readies his bow. This day certainly hasn't been boring! Alexander laughs again, then looks very serious for a moment, Ugh...that pun was not intended.
Eduard will draw his crossbow and fire at the boar.
Radomir drops his lance for his bardiche as Czernabog paws and bites at the boar.
But, the powerful steed's strikes meet only the air as the boar proves too fast for the charger. Spitting vile curses, Radomir guides his mount back from the boar's tusks, and strikes at the tusked beast with his bardiche.
His curses turn to a satisfied grunt as his blade draws blood from the wild beast.
As the boar rushes in Thaliar draws his spear and joins the attack. "This thing could feed us for weeks. I do say we bring it back to Oleg's quickly so it can be butchered and preserved."
Eduard moves to cast Magic Weapon on Soren's bow.
Thaliar strikes at the boar with his spear and makes contact.
Andrea casts Fear at the Boar, but the massive beast seems to shake off her spell.
Alexander Inspires Courage.
Radomir tries to charge at the Boar, but his lance misses the target, somehow.
The Boar turns upon the closest person to him, Radomir.
Soren will fire an arrow at the Boar.
This should make things more interesting. Alexander says as he waves his hand and casts Grease.
Andrea shoots her crossbow at the boar.
Soren snaps out of some reverie and goes his bow after studying the boar for a moment.
Now this should fetch a high price at Oleg's, or provide us breakfast for a long while!
We have dibs on the bacon. Crispy bacon sandwiches..
Reposting radomir's action from above.
Round 2 init 14
Heedless of the blood running down his side, Radomir drops his lance for his bardiche as Czernabog paws and bites at the boar.
bite attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
hoof 1 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
hoof 2 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
But, the powerful steed's strikes meet only the air as the boar proves too fast for the charger. Spitting vile curses, Radomir guides his mount back from the boar's tusks, and strikes at the tusked beast with his bardiche.
bardiche attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 crit?
crit check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
bardiche damge: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 x2 if crit is successful
His curses turn to a satisfied grunt as his blade draws blood from the wild beast.
"Do we need the food though? I'd rather make some money. Wild boar isn't as good for bacon anyway, their fat reeks horribly." With that he sidesteps to move into a better position to attack the beast. The movement put him off balance and he missed the boar by quite a bit.
Eduard fires his crossbow at the Boar, but misses his target.
Thaliar nearly trips over his own feet as he tries to get into a better position to attack and misses.
Andrea also fires and misses with her crossbow.
Alexander casts Grease underneath the Boar.
Radomir's horse proves ineffectual this time, but his master succeeds in a critical hit upon the Boar, putting out an eye and sending blood streaming down its snout.
The boar moves forward 5 feet to gore Radomir again.
The movement cause the Board to slip in the Grease and fall over onto its side. It squeals loudly in pain and annoyance and attempts regain its footing.
It fails and remains on its side on the ground.
Soren shoots off an arrow and hits the fallen Boar.
Alexander rides forward, swinging out his shield and sword. He strikes down at the boar and he directs his mount to do the same.
Andrea drops her crossbow and draws her spear and hurls it at the boar
Radomir smirks with satisfaction as his blade cuts deep into the boar's hide. The smirk widens to an outright wolffish grin as the boat slips and falls to its back. He seized the advantage this give him and slices at the boar's underbelly again.
Then, using his knees, he guides his steed forwards and presses the attack.
Eduard will attempt to hit the boar with a bit of acid.
