I mean, things are likely to get pretty hectic when it actually arrives, so we don't want to have any second thoughts at the time.""That being the case, I guess we'll have to wait until it's well and truly out of the forest. If we just scare it off, like Kiylea said, it'll just come back some other time - or else go foraging in someone else's fields. So do we put a pile of sweet potatoes some distance from the forest edge - say, thirty feet - and wait until it starts to eat before we attack? How fast are they, Kiylea - do you know? If we're over here, would we have time to fire our missiles at it and then draw swords before it reaches us? Or should we split into archers and melee fighters? The archers could be back behind Eddie's trap, and the sword-wielders on either side of Eddie.""And another thing, what about light? I guess lights would scare it off - but would the night be bright enough for us to see it without them? I've got a lantern, and I see that Jerran brought one, too. If we could light them quickly enough, we'd have light to fight by. Or, say, Ringly, you're a magician, can you produce light?""Oh, I've just thought of something else - should we be prepared to cut off its retreat if it just turns and runs? That could be risky."Alton pauses in dismay. As the most heavily armoured of the group, he is the one with the best chance of dealing with the beast one on one - but if all goes according to plan, and the boar charges, he wants to be there to help protect his friends. What would be best?"What do you think? Ringly? Eddie?"</blockquote>
