((Yeah, I'm not sure we should seek the guy out. Wouldn't want to lose half our party to a god again.))
I've got one thing your average hyena hasn't: big, opposable thumbs. I think some eye-gougin's in order.
[1]
You reach to gouge the boar's eyes and...promptly lose hold of the boar. You roll off one side and bounce through the foliage before coming to a rest face down in a bush.
"The river..."
Look around for a river. I'm guessing it's close by?
The man points you in the right direction.
Make like a cormorant and dry myself.
You stretch out your wings and wait for them to dry.
Help dry the people on the shore.
[4] You pat the bird down with your clothes.
Stuff Mr. Bird snugly into my armpit for safekeeping, not to mention getting him warm and dry.
"Don't you worry Mistah Bird, I keep you safe from wet stuff."
It would be fun if I had included a fear of birds when making this character.
...Also my character's dialogue is reminding me of my character in one of Baldman's games all of a sudden. Weird.
Mr.bird is far larger than you seem to assume.
Death by thousand cuts. This is fun!
[4] You get a few good cuts in, spilling a lot of blood. The boar won't last long like this, but it keeps running.
((Ooops))
"Thanks, matey! It'll do."
Admire self. Strut, even.
You admire the horn and strut about like a peacock. A very scalely peacock.
"When last we used it for dire reasons, it let one man beat thousands. Though he did not survive."
"Neat. sounds like the source of epic tales told for generations, spread across many tribes, growing in the telling, until all will hear it, repeat it, make it their own, and strive to emulate it, even in ritual and play. Could you make me appear ten feet tall, purple, and shiny, with rainbows pouring out of my eyes, and the voice of a thousand birds tweeting in chorus? Because theat would be fun!"
Sebastian attempts to convince the People to use their Voice for the above purpose.
The man tilts his head slightly.
"I believe you may be trying to talk me into something, little one"
