(Carxus' Fire Bolt burns the Boar, causing it to stop its momentum. It seems angry and hurt, but still has a lot of fight in him.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
I brace one foot back, concentrate for a fraction of a moment. A low, almost inaudible word barely escapes the wrapping over my mouth as a burst of concentrated, ember-filled energy ejects from my right hand toward the boar.
(Whether it hits or not I would be moving backward after the attack to keep a bit of distance between myself and it.)
Attack: 11 Damage: 4

Jacob Bray - The Call of Lon-Dia, Human Bloodhunter 3
(Crispy stands frozen in front of the charging boar. It's not clear if it's from fear or if she's remembering her cherished childhood pet pig or what exactly is going thru her mind, but she stands there as the Boar charges and attacks her.)
Attack: 23 Damage: 4
(Crispy takes a tusk to the gut, but it doesn't seem to go in too deep. She stands up, when suddenly...
A large flying saucer flies into the sky above, shining down a beam of light on Crispy! The light envelops her and after a few moments, she starts levitating. The beam seems to be carrying her towards the flying saucer.)
(In deep, different voice) "I have to go now. My planet needs me."
(Crispy disappears into the metal saucer. It speeds away and disappears into the night.)
Everyone: "WTF!???"
DM's Note: I'm really sorry about the long delay, guys. I think Crispy decided not to follow thru with this adventure. I really want this to stay active and go at a good, brisk pace, so if you guys post I'll make sure to move the story along. Lorys, you're up.
Inlorys blinks at the place where Crispy stood just moments before, but a snort from the boar reminds her of the danger in which the party remain. Her right hand grabs an arrow from her quiver at her hip as her left hand pulls her bow up in a practiced motion. Lorys takes only the time between one breath and the next to aim, then looses the arrow at the pig.
Lena sizes up the boar and takes a few steps back. Muttering the familiar incantation to Produce Flame, in her hand appears a small ball of fire. She takes aim and chucks it at the animal.
(The boar lets out one final squeal of pain as it crumples over, dead. The party stands in front of the defeated beast, having passed their first test unscathed.
It is about 11 pm and the night is pretty dark. Common sense tells you it might be a good idea to make camp and rest for the night, as your progress will probably be much slower as fatigue and the dark terrain settles in.)
DMs note: Great job on your first encounter. Feel free to rp, camp, maybe eat some bacon 🥓, set up watch, etc.
Carxus sets up his portion of the camp site then turns his attention to the boar carcass. He examines it with confusion like he expects there to be a zipper or instructions on it.
“Hmmm...I not exactly sure how to...um, does anyone know how to prepare this beast for table?”
"Skinning it tends to help," Lorys says as she lays her bedroll over a soft mossy patch of ground. "Unless you fancy eating tough boar skin covered in rough fur." Her sleeping area now set up, Lorys pulls a worn set of leatherworker's tools from her pack and goes to kneel next to Carxus and the dead boar.
"Here, I'll show you," Lorys tells the other tiefling. She flips the boar onto its back and begins the process of removing its skin.
Watching the process of field dressing and butchering the boar leaves Carxus a little queasy, but he’s determined to learn this skill. He’s not sequestered away from the world anymore and there are many things he will need to learn if he wants to survive.
Carxus holds up his hand towards the charging boar. “BURN,” he says as he casts Fire Bolt.
Attack: 13 Damage: 6
(EDIT: I’m not sure that roll worked right. I think I’m supposed to get a +5 to attack but didn’t show up.)

The spell damages the boar, who is still angry, but hurt. Nikta moves back to keep some distance.

(The boar gets sliced by the arrow on the front leg. It seems to be losing some of its fight.)

(Lena's ball of flame 🔥 narrowly misses the boar. On the plus side, it does set a small shrub on fire and looks pretty cool.)
DMs note: Gerard is up.

(Gerard's crossbow bolt goes over the beast's head. The boar seems to be frantic now.)
Carxus is up.
DM - Tomb of the Delian Order One-Shot (Level 1)
Natasha - The Call of Lon-Dia Human Rogue (Level 4)
Carxus looks at the bleeding boar and shakes his head in disbelief.
“Wow, uh, still alive? Um..well, how about this?!”
He throws his hands out and cold blue-white light streams forth.
“FREEZE,” he says as he casts Ray of Frost at the boar.
Attack: 25 Damage: 6
After casting the spell, he backs away and out of the way of the beast.

(The Ray of Frost hits its mark! The boar looks like it's on its last legs and has slowed down significantly.)

Drops to his knee and lets another ember filled eldrich blast out at the swine...

"Much obliged, Gerard. I'll take last watch if we're setting that sort of thing up." I say, taking up a spot to nap under a tree near the fire...
