>> Hunting, gathering and felling trees to shore up our supplies
As promised, predicted, perhaps remembered from times long ago when you ranged this far from home with your father, the forests and small, muddy glens around Hávarðrfall are lush with life. The trees are tall, straight and old, and the wildlife is not accustomed to your kind wandering its nature, making easy game.
As snow underfoot is fully melting, you join a small foraging hunt to the north-east, exploring the deeper woods. The undergrowth is lush with fungi and some sturdy roots and nuts that have survived the thaw, but over the coming week the attention of the your small band is drawn mostly to game - mountain hares, foxes, ptarmigan mostly, and even the promise of boar tracks in the later days.
Late in the afternoon of the third day, after beginning the circle back to camp, you come across a family of wild boars scratching amongst the muddy roots of some ancient trees. There are whispers from your companions of mixed uncertainty and excited. Meals at the hearth have been lean thus far.
Your band is equipped mostly with spears, though a select few brought along hunting bows, and have been carefully counting their arrows. Though the adult boars are few, most of them have severe tusks muddied with the soft ground.
You feel expectations falling on you.
>> Charge into the undergrowth and take the boars by surprise [Vigor, 4d6]
>> Inspire and coordinate the troops around the small clearing, flanking the creatures and relying on bows and thrown spears [Wit, 5d6]
>> Encircle the clearing with a few of your strongest warriors and charge a single boar to ensure a kill [Vigor, 4d6]
>> It is clear to you where the boar tracks lead next - you will set up a pit trap down that track and let them come to you [Mind, 3d6]
>> You can do without the meat, and the risk, for now. It’s time to return home.
>> We cannot hunt these creatures. Boars have for generations been sacred to our clan. [Gain an Oath]
For chosen options I will rely on votes, but for dice rolls I will take the first roll associated with the winning option.
