Seeing boar 2 is rather confused at the moment, Myrtha will back ten feet towards boar 1 and hurl a hand axe at it, before resuming her guard with the sword and shield, facing boar 2.

Thrown hand axe, damage - (1d20+4, 1d6+3)

1d20+4 : (17) + 4 = 21

1d6+3 : (4) + 3 = 7

Chase will recover after the strike on the passing boar and again thrust a boar one. He is hurt bad and needs to take this thing down so he can focus on boar four.
OOC:
So if one goes down Chase will turn so he can focus on four. If it charges him again he will try and dodge if possible. With only 3 hps left he has to be careful.

Round Two
(this was preceded by round one)

Chase reverses the grip on the spear and plunges it downward into the back of the boar that just nearly killed him. The magic weapon crunches through the beast's back and passes completely through its body into the forest floor, pinning the boar to the ground.
Boar 1 takes 7 piercing damage and dies.
OOC:
@matmaisan - my inclination is to say that Myrtha throws her hatchet at Boar 2 rather than Boar 1, since you would know that Boar 1 was out of the combat before you took your action if we were declaring our actions in turn order like in a real-time game. Let me know if you don't want that, and I'll amend what follows.
Myrtha takes her eyes off of the beast in front of her to risk a glance back at Chase and Theran. Seeing that the ranger has dispatched his immediate foe, the statuesque fighter yanks a hatchet from her belt and flings it at the closest boar that Aanbo intimidated.
Boar 2 takes 7 slashing damage.
Then she draws her sword, preparing for its response.

Feet blurring, Aanbo speeds away after Boar 3 which just ran past him, trying to keep its attention on him and not on his badly injured companions.
[ +- ] Pounding the Sounder
Boar 2 grunts at the impact of the hatchet, paws the ground, and charges at the closest interloper: Myrtha. Myrtha neatly sidesteps the charge, and the boar keeps running past her. Myrtha uses her reaction to pivot and strike as the boar passes by; the sword cleaves down and chops deeply into Boar 2.
Boar 2 takes 9 slashing damage and dies instantly.

Aanbo certainly has drawn Boar 3's attention; it gives a deep-chested squeal of rage and rushes him. But because the dodgy monk is so close, the beast is unable to get up to full speed before reaching him. Aanbo leaps and dives over the oncoming porcine terror, which passes underneath him. As Boar 3 passes by under him, Aanbo hits the ground, rolls, and springs up again, using his reaction to thrust the staff after the speeding creature and thump it hard in the hindquarters.
Boar 3 takes 6 bludgeoning damage.
Boar 3, hurt and smelling boar blood, loses its fury and runs squealing away from the party to disappear into the brush.
OOC:
@mathias0077 - I just realized that you are using the spear with two hands, which means you should be rolling 1d8 for damage, not 1d6. Would you like to reroll the opportunity attack damage on Boar 4 from last turn, or do you want to keep the 4+4?
Boar 4 charges at Chase, the source of its pain. Chase steps right as a feint, then jukes to the left. The beast falls for it and passes harmlessly through the empty space where it thought he would be standing, continuing past both the ranger and druid.
[ +- ] The boars miss their attacks
Using his reaction, Chase plunges the spearpoint at the beast as it misses him and Theran. The ranger's aim is true.
Boar 4 takes 6 piercing damage and dies. Carried by its momentum, the dead creature thuds to the ground as its legs give out and it slides to a stop.
[ +- ] Boar 4 falls
This ends the combat encounter.

OOC:
@mathias0077 - Understood.

But do you want to make that next roll now? You have an opportunity to attack again now.
Round two continues with opportunity attacks...

As Boar 3 passes by under him, Aanbo comes out of his roll and springs up, using his reaction to thrust the staff after the speeding creature and thump it hard in the hindquarters.
Boar 3 takes 6 bludgeoning damage.

OOC:
@matmaisan - do you want to use Myrtha's reaction to attack Boar 2 as it passes her?
@MaJunior - Chase has already defeated Boar 4, so there is no longer an opportunity for Theran to take a reaction attack this round.

Myrtha was prepared to dodge out of the way of the porcine assailant, and as she pivoted to let the four legged aggressor go by, she swungher longsword at the animal’s exposed back.

Round two opportunity attacks, continued...

Myrtha uses her reaction to pivot and strike as the boar passes by; the sword cleaves down and chops deeply into Boar 2.
Boar 2 takes 9 slashing damage and dies instantly.

Boar 3, hurt and smelling boar blood, loses its fury and runs squealing away from the party to disappear into the brush.

Each member of this party - Aanbo, Chase, Myrtha, and Theran - gains 50 XP for surviving this beast attack, and Theran learns the boar form for his Wild Shape.

BOAR AC:11 HP:11 or 2d8+2 Speed:40' PP: 9 STR:+1, DEX:+0, CON:+1 Charge: if the boar moves 20' or more in a straight line and then hits, it deals 1d6 additional slashing damage. Also, the struck target must succeed on a DC11 STR save to not be knocked prone. Relentless: If the boar takes 7 or less damage and would drop to 0, it drops to 1 instead (recharges with rest). Tusk: +3 to hit, 5' range, 1d6+1 slashing damage on a hit

Aanbo looks over Chase's wounds. "I feel we must hurry onward," he says. "I know it is a waste to leave resources such as boar meat here, but we are only an hour from Orlane and too close for my liking. Should we risk traveling more to gain some distance?"
Mar 10, 2025 11:10 pm
Thanks Aanbo, I don't know how fast I can travel. That boar got me pretty good." He looks at the dead boars"I could hack off a couple of hind quarters real quick."
Mar 12, 2025 1:18 pm
OOC:
Sorry; I was waiting to see if there would be any healing happening...you still can cast spells if you like.
Aware of the possibility of pursuit from the village, Chase nevertheless butchers parts of the three dead boars, retrieving plenty of meat, and the party resumes its journey west.
OOC:
@mathias0077 - You choose how much meat you take from the carcasses: each pound of meat will translate to 1 ration, and you can quickly carve off up to 60 pounds. But whatever you take will need to be cooked or otherwise preserved within a day.

"Let me help," Theran says, moving to Chase and inspecting the wound for a moment before laying a hand on it and channeling the rejuvenation of spring into his injured companion.

Aanbo watches Theran's healing application to study the mechanics behind it. While he does not quite understand, he wonders if the manipulation of the natural world through magical means might translate easily to the manipulation of one's own chi to accomplish the same. Something he will have to discuss with Tuan Vo when Aanbo returns to Hochoch.

"Myrtha, allow me to take over," he says, referring to the transport of Reptile's body on the travois. "Your hands might be better off with a shield and sword to defend us from future attacks."
OOC:
Sorry, right now Aanbo can only heal with the healer's kit, but as we know that's only after a short rest. I don't think we're going to take a short rest, are we?
