In truth Dave (Dirty) is beginning to see the value of not having to walk anywhere- this after I explained the rules for Mounts- something they had considered before, although they had seen a mounted combatant previously- a Bugbear Warrior riding a Rage Drake.And thus we head in to a Skill Challenge (Level 6 Complexity 1)Round #1The PCs close in on the caged Dire Boar, making calming noises (I had the players act this out- giving a +1 for particularly impressive noises, sounds or gestures- made for some funny moments). Dirty, Phrenic and Winstanley chose to attempt to aid Kaspard in her Heal checks- pointing out areas that need attention and offering advice- Phrenic and Winstanley are successful; Kaspard is able to cure some of the great creatures wounds- bites from the Hyenas and arrows from the Gnolls, having used the Boar for target practice. Success = 1.In the meantime Grey uses his Nature Skill to remember all he can about Dire Boars, and in particular what to feed the beast- soon enough the creature is munching through the Wizard's rations. Success = 2.Round #2Dirty and Phrenic continue to aid Kaspard in her ministrations, both are successful, as is Kaspard again. Success = 3.Winstanley tries to use his Nature Skill to aid Grey in suggesting ways and means to calm the beast, he succeeds and offers a little useful advice. Alas not enough as Grey fails his check and the beast butss the bars of the cage, opening up another wound. Success = 3 & Failure = 1.Round #3Kaspard and her helpers are quickly on the scene, Dirty and Phrenic succeed again with their attempts to aid her work- Kaspard quickly heals the Dire Boar's new wound immediately, and the Boar is calmed. Success = 4 & Failure =1.The Boar is lead out of the cage- gingerly Dirty climbs on board, the creature stands stock still.You would need a chisel to chip the smile from Dave's (Dirty) face.</blockquote>
