[SP-F1] Boar Puns Aren't Funny

[Nihilus 0]

Daniel took a moment to look around the exit gates of the Starting City, before sprinting out when he saw the path was clear. It had been a few days since he had posted that disastrous message on the notice boards, and while he hoped that no PKers were still watching the area, he wasn't going to take any chances.

When he posted that message he'd only been looking for someone to teach him how to play, and maybe help him get to the next area. But he hadn't realised there so many PKers about, enough to threaten even the starting city. 

Shrugging off his darkening thoughts, Daniel strolled through the gates, trying to look confident. He was pretty sure that walking like a higher level player might scare off any who would wish him harm, even if his gear didn't exactly look like the kind of thing a Clearer would wear.

 

After he was a decent distance away from the gates he began walking normally, looking around for any nearby mobs. He had picked up the basics of combat now, and he was pretty sure he could handle a Boar or something similarly weak on his own.

As he looked around he spotted a <<Frenzy Boar>> idly grazing a few metres away, snuffling at the grassy ground. The boar was a bulky thing, with dark blue fur, glowing red eyes and sharp tusks, coming up to just below his waist. As Daniel targeted it the beast raised its head, snorting loudly as it began to paw at the ground, slightly agitated by the attention.

Daniel readied himself, crouching slightly before charging forward, his sword raised to attack.

• Rolled a 7 on the d10 (battle) dice. Damage: 1 from Scimitar, 1 From 1-Handed Curved Swords

As Daniel soared past the boar, he felt the scimitar slice cleanly through the the angry beast, no doubt shaving some health off the boars total. He came to a stop and turned around to see the boar at 3/5 health, snorting angrily and turning around before lowering its head as if to charge. Daniel frowned, not sure if he could survive even a single attack.

• Rolled a 2 on the d10 (mob) dice.

The Boar charged forward, but Daniel was able to dodge to the side just before the angry monster could make contact with him. He quickly regained his footing and turned to face the overgrown pig, swinging his sword in preparation for another attack as he silently marvelled at the fact he had actually dodged the charge.

• Rolled a 10 on the d10 (battle) dice. Damage: 1 From weapon, 1 From One-Handed Curved Swords Skill, 2 From Critical Hit

Realising he was wasting time by stopping to think, Daniel sprinted forwards, bringing his scimitar down hard on the boar's neck before it had fully recovered from its charge. There was a loud cutting noise as the blade passed through the boar's neck like a knife through butter, causing the large head to fall away from the body, leaving only a bright red glow where in the real world there would be flesh and blood.

• Rolled a 2 on the d20 (loot) dice.

Daniel stepped back from the corpse and watched as shattered into so many brilliant blue shards, leaving behind nothing. As he sheathed his scimitar he waited for a window to pop in front of him announcing his reward, but none came. Maybe he had just been unlucky. Frowning to himself, he looked around, waiting for another of the boars to spawn and hopefully provide him with some loot.
