If you all intend to hide as the boar makes its way along, please drop some Stealth checks on me! It’s a good thing that Ormond noticed the boar, or you likely wouldn’t even have the chance to hide before you caught its attention!

Ormonds nods in agreement and quietly says, "No reason to draw the ire of that beast." He places his hand on Deshi's shell and whispers a vigilant blessing, commenting, "Just in case the boar sniffs us out, you'll be able to react a little faster than normal."
Ormond then tries his best to keep his chainmail quiet...
As an action, you give one creature you touch (including possibly yourself) advantage on the next initiative roll the creature makes. This benefit ends immediately after the roll or if you use this feature again.
Your group continues forward, led by whoever wishes to. As you draw near to where the boar was, you see that it had actually been eating something. It seems that it had gored a bear and was enjoying a midday meal.
Nevertheless, you press on forward. The shrubland continues further down the mountain. The shrub gives way to taller trees, as the shrubland is enveloped into a greater forest. Judging by the map, your group shouldn’t be too far from the town, only needing to pass through this forest and a few miles of plains.
Furthermore, at the base of the mountain, which you’ve arrived at, there is a river that should help guide you.

Roland pushes his way to the front of the group. "Then get back, "mine girl"." Roland kicks the bear on his way past it and takes the lead. "Ah, the river. A hippos natural terrain!"

The group continues following the length of the river. The day is calm and the breeze is easy. If not for the fact that you had somewhere to be, it might even be a nice day for a picnic. That being said, Ormond hears something as you follow the path. To the back of you all, from where you just came, you hear brush crack and wood bend. A snort, then the click-clack of hooves. You turn toward the source of the sound to see a very familiar sight. It would appear that the boar had actually indeed noticed you and, with thunderous gusto, is now charging the length of the path toward you all! You have moments to prepare! Might I suggest head butting it?

Worth noting, I am not seeming this worthy of Initiative yet, as it is still a “chase scene” of sorts. The boar is faster than you all, so he will eventually catch you.
Dex Save: 20
The boar, in all of its scarred flesh and course fur, just barrels through the fire, completely unharmed.
Roland produces his crossbow and takes aim. The crossbow is pushed forward as his face turns to that of a hippo while doing the final adjustments. "Well, we could have had the jump on IT. Now it has the jump on US!" .He pulls the trigger and fires a crossbow straight at it.
Attack: 11 Damage: 5
(OOC: Damn, the rolls didn't add modifiers. +3 for the attack and +1 for the damage)
After seeing the crossbow bolt barely facing the mighty boar Roland pulls out his glaive and pulls the palm of his hand across it's edge. The blood boils on the steel and after a second or two lightning starts crackling across the sharp end of his danger stick.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
Meanwhile, Ormond is going to continue booking it. However, he is going to lung to the side and pull Deshi along with him, using his Gauntlets of Ogre Strength!
So, to give a layout.
The boar closed the distance from 80 ft, to zero feet.
As the boar reached 20 ft, it barreled through Deshi’s flame, Deshi moved 30 ft.
However, Penny dashes off to the side as the boar reaches 40 feet. It then passed her for the remaining feet. Penny is 40 ft behind it, and about 10 ft off the path.
As the boar reached 60 ft, Roland shot it, changing himself to the target of the boar. Roland then moved 30 ft.
Finally, as the boar caught up to them, Ormond pulled Deshi away 15 ft off the path.
Therefore, when the boar charges again, Roland is only 30 ft ahead.
And now I’ll ask for Initiative! Don’t forget, Deshi has advantage!

Yet, at the sound of hoof-beats carrying the boar away from you all, you breath a sigh of relief.
It runs off out of sight.

"Well, shall we press on then?" asks Ormond.
Ormond allows Penny to lead the way, while he steps into line alongside Deshi... Ormond continues to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Indeed, a river, such fortuitous terrain for the horse of water.
However, unless you actually intend to jump into the water, then I will continue forward. Provides that no one has any further actions, that is.

Deshi yelps and swings their staff in the boar's direction, reflexively calling the name of fire as they do.

The bolt sinks into the hide of the boar, who continues charging, unfazed by the damage that the wound caused!

Penny dives into a load of bushes and squats low.
Meanwhile, the boar charges straight past her. Hurray!

Penny will put Tippy Tap down on his pad of paper, stand up and draw her bow, ready to plunk the boar (next round, this round?).
