EVENT: SIEGE



Characters at and around the airfield in tile IX may have noticed some signs that they've been attracting visitors. Some of them are subtle: A few hoofprints in the dirt near the jungle, a few missing provisions from the communal storage, some discarded fruit pits scattered beneath some trees. The run-ins with large boars have been significantly less so. Most of these encounters have been brief and marked with a distinct wariness of the airfield residents, but approaching Day 042, the atmosphere of tension has shifted. Something big is stalking the jungle in tile IX. Something angry.

As night falls on Day 042, that something - and its followers - makes its presence known. Anyone unlucky enough to be in or near the border of the jungle in tile IX is likely to be driven away by roving groups of huge, strange-looking boars, often traveling in pairs or triplets and each almost as tall as a human. They have the expected bristle-brown fur and build of wild boars, but with longer manes of fur and fat around their necks and partially covering their eyes, and their lower jaws split into two mandible-like sections around two sets of tusks. They charge at anyone either trying to leave or approach the airfield towards it or away, respectively, eventually leading to a barrier of screaming pigs in the forest.

A couple of hours in, a public message is sent over the transceivers.
