Re: [IC] A Stranger Land
The boar spins with surprising speed for something its size. Glowering at Rorik, it splays its front feet out and lowers its massive head -- it is as ugly as anything you've ever seen and twice as mean. It bellows an earsplitting challenge that sounds somewhere between a squeal and the noise of a distant earthquake. From this distance, you can see that it must weigh nearly a ton and and has battle-scarred tusks as big as your arm. However, it does seem focused on Rorik and shows no sign that it has noticed anyone else.
There is a brief pause, allowing you the choice of action...
Everyone from this point has a clear shot, SM 2, no lighting penalties yet. Astrid does not have a chance to sneak closer before Rorik's move, so is still at 20 yards; she is not completely behind the beast and so can see the eye on one side, but the boar's brow ridges effectively provide the eye some cover from this angle, so such a shot is iffy.
