Lilly, the ranger, goes outside in protest, but rejoins the group before the battle ends. During the fight, the priestess cast ice at Josh, missed epically, and layered the entire floor with ice. The eponymously named Hunter, the ranger, tries to run, falls, slides across the floor, and slams into the priestess, knocking her prone. The battle goes badly. Josh falls unconscious. It gets very close to a TPK. Lilly re-enters just in time to save Josh from death. Hunter, slowly freezing from a spell attack by the priestess, nevertheless manages to impale her with his sword while she was still on the floor. They finally slay the guards, as well.

Princes of the Apocalypse: Day Eight - The Pig, the Priest, and the Peculiar Ice Floor
Before our heroes can even catch their breath after surviving being badly outnumbered, a huge tusk bursts through the wooden doors to the throne room behind them. The paladin goes to "listen" to figure out what's on the other side. The doors shatter as a huge wereboar bursts through. Chasing the boar is a tall half-elf ranger, sword raised over his head, screaming a battle cry. (This character is played by Hunter, an 11 year old school friend) He attacks it from behind and all the adventurers join in to kill the beast. In the midst of fighting, Josh the druid gets slashed by the creature and cursed. After it's death, the wereboar transforms into the body of Grimjaw, the ruler of Rivergard Keep. They take a moment to heal themselves. Kyle decided to keep one of the shark-toothed swords. Hunter tells them that he is a member of the Emerald Enclave, just like Lilly. He has been sent to root out evil in the area. He tells them that this keep is run by bandits, and Grimjaw was their evil leader. Then they enter the nearest building, which turns out to be a small chapel. Inside they find a female priest and two warriors with shark-toothed swords that are listening to her droning lesson. There were no alarms in the chapel, so they are unaware of danger. The druid, of course, immediately runs his mouth and starts a fight.
