So, we get up and face them across from our campfire, which was built on top of a high bluff. I should mention that direboars are written in my character's fluff as "things he really @!#$* hates."So, instead of doing anything smart, I throw down my greataxe and grapple the boar's tusks, and we get involved in an epic, multi-round struggle where I attempt to pin him down in our campfire and make pork roast. Meanwhile, the bard is soundly thrashed by the second boar, and in an attempt to get rid of him, tries the whole "get him to charge while standing on the edge of the cliff, and then quickly dodge out of the way" trick. Didn't work, and they both tumbled off the cliff. I finally manage to get the boar into the fire, he finally shrugs me off, and attacks and knocks me prone at the edge of the cliff. Once again, defying ALL martial training, I grab his little piggy feet and manage to roll over and hurl him off the cliff, and go searching for my bardic friend. While searching for him, I come upon the corpse of the boar I killed, with a madly pulsing belly. Cut it open, and yep, there's a baby direboar. Through a few rolls of a d4 (one for kill/let live and one for leave/take) I end up with a pet piglet. Now Im a barbarian with a pet baby direboar that does nothing but squeal and consume massive amounts of food.</blockquote>
