@At Nin-in-Eilph
You stand on a hill overlooking the wide expanse of pools and reeds along the Glanduin River, a half-day journey west from Rusling. The elves named this marshland Nin-in-Eilph, or in the common speech, Swanfleet. It's home to a vast number of the migratory birds, some of whom are capable of speech. None are talking now. The mid-September afternoon is chill and breezy but at least not rainy. The sun between clouds gives you bursts of warmth.
Like about half of the village, you've tromped over the grassy, muddy hills to get here and watch Stott Prince slay a boar that Gunder and Jane will flush for him. It's hard to say who has the worser risk here. The boar might turn on the houndsman and his hound, who is not physically suited to this prey but is the best the village has to offer; she likes the work, beside. If the boar runs true, Stott will meet it kneeling with braced spear and must hope the crossbar and hefty shaft will hold it off.
Mimnern's role is to use her animal kinship skill to get Gunder and Jane close to the boar's den. Posco is along to gather healing herbs from the marsh verges. Snori has his own reasons for attending (maybe just for entertainment, like the other villagers).
Mianne is not here. Someone felt the muddy walk would not be suitable for her.

OOC:
What do you do, as Stott and his two armsmen prepare themselves?
