Sieg goes to get his short spear he missed the boar with.

"We got him!" Sieg yelled excitedly, "now it's just a matter of going slow and making sure this thing is really dead before going down there."

At first, Rei wasn't certain how things would turn out. Her and her familia had taken several precautions. Digging a pitfall trap, covering it, choosing two to lead the boar... and several more to ambush it. By the time the boar had neared the hole, things seemed like they would fall apart. Then, it happened. The boar reached the hole and fell in with a violent squeal of objection. It was followed by more squeals, this time of pain as the boar was pierced by a couple of the sharpened sticks in the bottom of the hole.

Several of their team had taken to attacking. Someone was shooting spells, others were throwing their weapons like spears and axes. Rei took up her bow and fired off an arrow at the boar trapped in the hole. Surely it couldn't get out of the deep hole, but Rei wanted to be sure that no one would get hurt in this venture. She aimed at the boar's left eye as it stared up at her party with rage. She'd let loose an arrow after pulling it all the way back and taking careful aim. "Now that it's in the hole, let's finish it off!"~ she would say, encouraging her party even though several of their attacks had missed.

[info]Rei to confirm critical. Anytime you threaten a critical (usually rolling a 20, but sometimes an 18, or 19, too depending on the weapon), you have to roll again with your same modifiers to see if you crit. If you're above the opponent's AC, you crit.

Longbows only crit with a roll of 20, and are an x3 crit weapons, so roll three things:

1) Attack roll
2) Another damage roll (this is added to your first damage roll)
3) Another damage roll (this is also added)[/info]

Whereas the boar is ill-tempered and generally unfriendly, the towering battle boar is legitimately hateful and violent. Although omnivorous like its smaller kin, the battle boar prefers to feed on flesh, and its razor-sharp tusks and keen eyesight make it particularly well suited as a predator. While the battle boar is primarily a scavenger, it isn't averse to attacking smaller creatures it encounters while searching for easier meals, or those who stumble unwittingly into its territory. A typical battle boar is 10 feet long and 7 feet tall at the shoulder. It weighs approximately 2,000 pounds.

Day 5 - Evening

Naomi carefully eyed the approach of the boar. There was a single plank that Rei had placed down earlier to use as a simple way to move from one way to the other if needed, but Naomi knew that one step on it from the giant boar, it would definitely come tumbling down. The sounds of squealing as spears and magic were slung towards it, seemingly ignoring the attacks and charging straight onwards. The trap that Rei had suggested trying to build was definitely a smart move. 2,000 pounds of meat on short stubby legs would have no way of climbing back out at all. Everyone had labored for a few days straight in digging the pit, and the renard held her breath as she waited for the boar's approach. Her fox-like ears stiff at attention trying to capture every moment.

It charged towards them, or her, who knows, and whether or not the battle boar saw the pit trap was really of no consequence. The moment it realized it was falling in, it was already too late for the boar to escape. A smiled curled on her lips. Naomi wasn't a very blood-thirsty type of person, but whenever a plan, hers or someone else's goes exceedingly well, she couldn't help but appreciate it. The boar was done for.

With the companions around her throwing spears, javelins, axes, arrows, and slinging spells, Naomi joined in with the troupe.

Frigus Kaios. The name of one of her two magic spells, and also the first magic that had appeared when Naomi first received her falna from the goddess Thalia. It was a magic that created an extremely cold gust of air at a specific location that she willed. The spell itself would make use of the air around the location, simply chilling and freezing it. The spell had other uses of course, creating a cold drink, or even keeping the stores of food cold back at the Troupe's Choice, but given enough mind points to the spell, it would hurt.

"Precursor of the finale, the cold winds. Chill with the ice before the twilight. Fading lights, wind from the peaks, the freezing land. Blizzard, the three severe winters!" Naomi recited the chant to the spell, a practiced set of words that had come to her the moment she first received the spell. Her sharp mind focused keenly on the battle boar in the pit, triggering her spell's release.

"Damn i only bought one throwing axe! hah that doesn't mean i don't anymore things to throw at ya!" Vesali quickly unrolled his sling and loaded it with a stone that came from the hole while it was still being dug. He was right to prepare a few underground stones and learned that sometimes in combat there's always a situation that you can't get up close and personal.
