We met up with the quest-giving person, who told us the hunter called for us but didn't explain why. They also said to beware the dogs, but I'm good with animals, so it's fine. We took a day's trip up there and snuck up to the place, not seeing any dogs. I heard crying inside during my expert scouting, so we headed in and found the hunter. After a talk we found out he'd caught some boar in a trap, but it gave a scary noise and his dogs went crazy. He had to kill one of the five in defense and escape, and he was pretty sad about it. Our job was to deal with the boar and save the other four dogs, and of course we were gonna save the animals!
We headed up that way and sure enough, there was a dead and rotting boar hung up in a tree. No sign of the dogs, so Bonko ran over and poked it with a stick. It awoke, forcing Bonko back and scaring us all a bit. Bonko and Boophis also got pretty confused, but aside from Boophis clawing DOC pretty bad it was fine. The dogs started coming out of the brush though, and I had identified the issue as a haunt we needed to either cut down or convince to calm down. DOC convinced it to calm down, but the dogs were still hurrying our way so Red cut it down real quick. It revealed a ghost boar running around, and we had to fight it. Red also found out we could hit the dogs to break the control over them, so we did that while we fought the ghost boar. I managed to bring down the ghost with my powerful magic, because of course I could, while everyone else was nursing their injuries. Red found a cool dagger and we went back to the hunter, bringing his four dogs back too! Job well done, as expected.
