"Sounds good to me. Do you want me to scout or help carry Reptiles body?"

The party heads off west through the woods away from Orlane, deeper into the Dim Forest, Myrtha dragging the travois with Reptile's corpse bound to it.
One of you should take the lead; that person should roll a WIS (Survival) check...unless it's Chase, who can't get lost in Forests. The woods are deep and green, and very quickly any sounds of the village of Orlane disappear into the thick foliage behind you.

Aanbo helps secure the back of the convoy, as well as assist the transport of the body should the travois run into trouble.

Chase being at home in the forest will take the lead. Always vigilant, senses on high alert.
Mar 5, 2025 11:54 pm
The party travels through the Dim Forest for nearly an hour. It's a little while after they take a break to get some water and for Myrtha to shift her grip on the travois that the group hears a snorting in the undergrowth; it looks like the heroes have disturbed a small sounder of wild boars, which erupt out of the brush and begin trotting toward the heroes belligerently.
Note: the rectangle between Myrtha and Aanbo is meant to be the travois bearing Reptile's corpse.
A few minutes remain on Theran's Wild Shape, but if @MaJunior wishes, he can end it before combat begins.Aanbo, Chase, Myrtha, and Theran: please roll initiative. There are four wild boars, which will all act on the same initiative count.

Round One
(this is followed by round two)
Murderously angry, four boars erupt out of the undergrowth, charging at the party.
Note: the rectangle between Myrtha and Aanbo is meant to be the travois bearing Reptile's corpse.Theran drops from Aanbo's shoulder and ends his Wild Shape, resuming his original elven form.
Chase sets his spear, confident that he will skewer one of the beasts as they charge on their turn.
Myrtha drops the travois and rushes toward the boars, slapping her shield with her sword blade to startle the beasts.
Aanbo rushes forward after her, making noise and swinging his staff to startle them too. Boar 2 is startled and breaks off its charge, taking no action this round.
Boar 1 charges Chase and gets skewered by the ranger's readied attack.
Boar 1 takes 9 damage and tries to gore Chase. Its tusks rip into the ranger.
Chase takes 8 slashing damage.
Boar 2 paws the ground uneasily.
Boar 3 starts to charge Theran, but is startled by the counter charge of Myrtha and Aanbo, so it ends up charging past the party.
Boar 4 charges Chase, but, startled by the loud noises, brushes past him to circle around behind the group.
As the boar races past him, Chase reacts swiftly (making his opportunity attack), whipping the spear around and down, stabbing deep into boar 4's side. Boar 4 squeals in pain and rage.
Boar 4 takes 8 piercing damage.
As he moves swiftly away from Reptile's corpse to support Chase, Theran draws upon the magic in the world around him: the life force of the Dim Forest itself flows into him, down his arms, and into his staff, which swells and sprouts leaves that grow into small branches. With this transformation, the druid brings the Shillelagh down onto the boar's back.
Boar 1 takes 7 damage and barely keeps its feet.

Aanbo does the opposite; he charges the boars, waving his arms to make his dwarvish stature bigger than it is and slapping his quarterstaff against the ground violently. He does not roar, rather makes sharp, "Hup!" and "Hie!" sounds to try and frighten the boars away.

@matmaisan - What does Myrtha do...?
Aanbo runs forward, swinging his staff so it whistles through the air and slaps it on the underbrush with a crack! to startle the territorial beasts.
The boars will take their turns here, which in part will be in reaction to what Myrtha and the others are doing.
Theran has transformed back into elven form and will act on his turn after the boars.
(Note that Theran has now encountered boars, and can add that Wild Shape to his repertoire)

Aanbo's disappointment at not scaring away the boars is replaced by regret, knowing he must subdue or put down the aggressive beasts. He doubles back, using his speed to close in on Boar3 before it can turn around and charge the group's flank. Aanbo tries to make himself a target, ready to dodge out of the way of the sharp tusks and potentially retaliate.
