The boar had been snorting and glaring at the caravan, quite angry at its incursion into its territory. It didn’t look like it was going to attack the stopped caravan, but you can tell it wasn’t going to sit back and allow anything to approach its direction without a fight.
The guards had been sitting around with a mix of boredom and idle curiosity at what the party would do. Looks like they wanted to take it out themselves with their horses, or their lances, or their bows.

12 Alan
10 Boar

Rowyn begins to sing, inspiring her comrades to battle (free action). She delays to see what the rest of the group will do.
Dunathar (Autopilot) delays his action to see what the others will do.
Zanock charges the boar without hesitation, yelling his warcry! The guards cheer as they see him do this. (Zanock moves 120 feet forward)
Rowyn urges Sabala on, following behind Zanock.
Etherial raises his arms, about to scare the dumb beast away, then stops at the last moment, remembering that he is too far from the beast for his magic to have any effect. He’ll need to get closer, he realizes. Spirit whinnies as Etherial guides it forward, staying next to Rowyn.
Alan (autopilot) sees Zanock charge and almost charges himself. But then thinks to himself
Might as well let that big orc take the brunt of the boar’s attack. Then I can just move in and attack it safely! Alan’s horse moves up to the other side of Rowyn.
The
boar glares at the big orc hurtling down at him. It squares itself up to face Zanock’s charge, snorting and hissing, looking like it might charge the approaching orc if he gets much closer.
Bert starts to circle around to the left on his riding dog, keeping pace with Zanock. The boar looks at him suspiciously.
Dunathar (Autopilot) seeing Bert circle around to the left, Dunathar circles around to the right, looking to flank. Unmounted, he runs at full speed, but can’t quite keep up.
Zanock is 60 feet from the boar. Rowyn is just behind Zanock, with Etherial on her left and Alan on her right. Bert is 30 feet to the left of Zanock, Dunathar is 30 feet to the right of Zanock, and 40 feet behind.
OOC: Zanock didn’t dismount, so I’m assuming he’s charging on horse? Please clarify. Dunathar left his backpack and bedroll with his horse, otherwise his movement rate is 15 feet not 20.
Edit: If Dunathar wants to remain mounted until he gets closer that's fine too.
