Exsanguinated Boar

An Exsanguinated Boar is a dead boar creature that can be found in a handful of places during Act One.

Involvement

Act One

If  Astarion is recruited, and the party takes at least two long rests after this, an Exsanguinated Boar can be found in several points in the Forest. The exact point is chosen randomly between the following:

• X: 139 Y: 409 - before the bridge leading to the Blighted Village
• X: 69 Y: 425 - to the north from the eastern entrance to the Blighted Village
• X: 52 Y: 287 - near the entrance to the Sunlit Wetlands / Putrid Bog

The party can examine the animal carcass:

• [MEDICINE] Examine it. (DC 10)
• [MEDICINE] Examine the boar's corpse. (DC 10) (If Astarion is present)

Succeeding reveals wounds on the animal's neck. If Astarion is in the party at this moment, he tries to discourage the player character from further investigating the corpse:

• [PERSUASION] These marks are strange. Do you recognise them? (DC 10)
• [INTIMIDATION] You know something about this, don't you? (DC 10)
• [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] YOU KNOW SOMETHING. SPEAK. (DC 10 )

If the player character passes one of the checks, Astarion surrenders a piece of information: the animal was drained to death by a vampire.

A piece of  Bloodless Pig Meat can be looted from the pig's corpse, replenishing the party's Camp Supplies.
