OOC:
Order is as follows by Initiative Roll:
- Krag: 23
- Elros: 22
- Kanli the Mad: 14
- Mortar Foehammer and Boar 1: 13
- Yoshiki Akita: 10
- Boar 2: 9
Krag was the first to put himself into a ready position, but he held back as he watched the nearest boar move to attack.
Elros didn't wait, but instead moved forward and cut a deep and bloody gouge into the flank of the second boar (-8 hps to second boar). Seeing Elros so engaged, Kanli followed with an attack on the wounded creature, eliciting a pained grunt as his glowing hand smacked the beast on its snout, causing a welt to appear on it (-3 hps to second boar).
Mortar was aiming towards the south to cover Elros, but as soon as he heard the first boar burst out from the north, he quickly turned and let fly with a shot that grazed its hind leg (-4 hps to first boar).
The first boar attacked at the same time, driving its tusks towards Yoshiki's legs, though the monk went to parry its attack as a defensive measure. As it struck out, Yoshiki managed to draw the creature off with a quick sweep of its front paw, causing it to awkwardly stumble by. Simultaneously, Krag's greataxe ripped through the air with force that was felt by his comrades, but his weapon fell just short of the boar.
The second boar's injuries turned it to rage towards Elros, but the nimble fighter easily side-stepped the attack.
OOC: Need actions and rolls. Combat order will stay the same until the end of this encounter. If this was my own house rules that critical miss by the first boar would have given the party the potential to do some severe damage. Instead, I just affected its facing so that the next combat round starts with its rear towards Yoshiki and Krag and its nose pointed at Mortar. As long as Mortar doesn't disturb this dangerous positioning, Yo and Krag will have flanking attacks this round on the first boar.
