Pruolus, The Adventurers Guild story

Game Master Chyrone

Aletha tries to feint the boar

feint: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Before striking at it with her blade
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Likely doing a pretty good job at it.

Under magic, and Aletha's attack, the angry boar goes down.

The injured bandits visibly calm down, with the adrenaline of combat over, their senses of strain on muscles come back to them.
One of them, "Good grace, that animal's as aggressive as could be.."

Vasaam moves up to examine the boar. "Looks like a really big pig. Is the meat edible? If so, we could probably help with butchering it. ??"

Perception to note anything odd about the boar?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

He doesn't have any ranks in knowledge-nature but I assume a giant boar and a pig look close enough to make the comparison. ??

Lariel relaxes and collects whatever arrows he can reuse. He, then, approaches the boar and inspects it.

Knowledge nature to know if such a creature would attack a caravan like this normally: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Knowledge nature to know if it can be made dinner: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Heal to know if it's still alive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Heal to know if it was sick (or something): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Survival (track) to know where it came from: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

After his study of the scene, he approaches the bandits and says with his bow in one hand and an unnocked arrow in the other "So, you're the ones who stole these goods, aren't you? Care to explain?"

Yay I did it! Aletha smiles to herself as she tries to refocus on whats going on currently

She breathes more deeply, as her rage wears off.

While keeping her ability to heal further to herself, given there was no thinking they may not be attacked again and she could only help so many times, Coraline would try and help bandage the wounds of everyone, to at least give some comfort, if no benefits.

Vasaam doesn't notice anything particular about the boar. It's solid, it 'was' very angry, but nothing unnatural for such an animal.

@ Lariel,
- Boars like these would attack if it had young to protect.
- It can be made for dinner, but the prep will be tedious and time. (skinning/fire pit/gather firewood/skewing)
- You don't feel a pulse in its neck, it may well be dead.
- You don´t find signs that would indicate disease, in your opinion.
- With your low light vision, you determine it came from the west.

The two injured bandits shrug. "We were the ones driving the wagon alright. Got out for just a minute, then this boar charged at us after some aggressive grunting."

Vasaam looks the wagon over. "The owner of this wagon wants it back. We'll be taking it, unless it's damaged too much."

I assume the boar's female then?

Lariel takes care of the bandits' wounds and says "This boar can be cooked, but you need to handle it correctly, it would take some work. It seems it came from the west, it may have been protecting its offspring. Now, try not to steal again." He isn't sure why he suddenly became preachy.

Heal bandit 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Heal bandit 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

@ Lariel, yes.

Vasaam finds the wagon pretty much intact. The bandits don't protest, being both injured and having seen your team's efficiency.
The wagon holds a variety of assorted goods of good quality grade.

Lariel wraps up what he saw was a wet gash on one of the mens' legs, which matches with a bloody smear on one of the boar's tusks.

How hard would it be to pull the wagon ourselves? I don't remember us taking any mounts with us. And I don't have any spell ready for that?

It's without horses very very heavy. No, indeed you did not by mount. By now it is low light and dark soon before you'd get back to the city.

Auto succeed on perception

Lariel looks at the tracks and says "Looks like the horses went on to the west. I'd say they are the ones that startled the boar and as the bandits were chasing the horses, they got the boar's attention."

Despite it being almost night, he suggests that the group carries the cart back slowly. Between him, Coral and Aletha, they can do good time due to their strength. In the city, they can rest after a work well done.

" So no horses to return, but the cart and some workers, right workers who we found trying to help the lost cart?" Coraline calls over, figuring the theft of horses on land was similar to the sea, though she was not sure how the sharks would eat them after the Many Cuts.

Vasaam will try to help. His strength is 10. That is average for a human.

Oh well, I can probably double as a draft animal for a short time

Aletha offers

And so everyone, including the 2 'conscripted' bandits, start pushing and pulling the fully loaded merchant wagon. 3 hours later, around 21:30, you get to the gates of the city.

The guardsmen look up at your faces, slightly glistening sweat in the moon's light. Thankfully, you needn't move the wagon uphill, 15 minutes later you push the wagon into a currently empty space that can be locked.

Entering 'The Warden's Respite' before closing hours at 22:00, Margaret is found speaking with the master at arms, both sitting at a table with a pint of ale. Both look up. "Welcome back, team. You look tired, by the looks you've either been dragging something, or running laps around the city."

Lariel explained "We've recovered the stolen goods. Also, we've brought these two here to face justice. You see, they stole the goods in the first place." He goes ahead and orders a large flagon of water and proceeds to hand it out to the others, bandits included.

Vasaam does feel that the thieves deserve a kind word.... "But they did help against that angry boar, rather than run off. And they helped drag the wagon back. I don't think the punishment should be too harsh. Maybe they just need a proper job so they don't feel any need to steal?"
