You impale a second bugcake on your thick pointy stick. The large boar you are riding on does not seem to pick up the pace appreciatively, but seems to move all the same. He stopped for a second when you pulled the stick in to place another cake on it, but began again once the stick and bugcakes appeared in front of him again....
You point the stick, and also the boar, in the general direction of west, where the sun tends to set, and you last remember goblins being. You've been alone for quite some time, living in a place where bugs are quite plentiful and (until recently) nobody bothered you. Seeing as that last part is no longer true, you set out.
A stream in the journey:
With no road, you travel through the underbrush, and the boar seems to be making good time. The ride and terrain are bumpy. You come across a stream, which your boar refuses to cross; you imagine because it would wash away the lovely layer of mud he has painstakingly applied somehow, but seeing as he doesn't talk.... Luckily, there is a shallow area that does not get more than his hooves wet and he crosses there with little complaint beyond some oinks.
You have yet to find any vines, but you are on the lookout for them and should you see some, or something like them, then you will surely grab them. There is a ton of undergrowth and most of that is green plant matter, but there are some reeds if you'd like to get some of those. Maybe your luck will change later on and find proper vines then (in a pine forest but yeah).
A not so lovely pair:
However, once you get across the stream things go potentially slightly less well. You see a pair of reddish, but fairly small orcs beating the ever-loving daylights out of ... something. You're not quite sure what it is from this distance (50 ft unnoticed behind forest trees), but it certainly is bloody, (and perhaps hairy with mats of blood in that fur / hair?) and appears to have two legs and two arms. It clearly had a spear, because that's broken on the ground nearby.
You immediately notice the following:
A - There are 2 sacks, seemingly orcish and crude, unattended by their owners within 15 ft of the orc beating session.
B - No one involved has noticed you yet.
C - You could theoretically engage the fairly small red orcs, but you're unsure if your mount is well trained enough to charge yet or how strong they are.
D - Those Orcs are using their fists, not weapons, though that doesn't mean they don't have weapons.
What do you do?
