It was certainly shocking to have the boar rampage through a tree to try and get to him, and it certainly hadn't been a small tree it had gone through. Considering a four inch tree like that would have done significant damage to a car before taking damage like it had, and the boar gave absolutely no shits and showed almost no damage from the tree, he suspected the boar was enhanced magically somehow. After that, he stayed wary of it, but as sunrise went by, and they got well into the midday, he was beginning to worry the damned thing really might be unkillable. Finally, around noonish, it made one last staggering charge, and then flopped over on its side, and he nailed it with a sleep spell to keep it down, before flopping over himself.<br/><br/>Done subduing the boar, he got ready to preform the ceremony, though since he had to wait nearly four hours before he could do so, at the earliest, he could take his time. He did use a sending to let Selena and Sly know he was still alive, and was getting ready to preform the ceremony about dinner time. In a sudden flash of suspicion, he also asked that they ask the lordling if he remembered uttering the insult to the Wyld King, or if he only had someone else's word for it. If he only had someone else's word, he suspected they would be someone that would profit by both his removal, and the removal and/or disgrace of the nobles that came to collect his head. And would then be disgraced if it was later learned the lordling hadn't uttered the insult.
