Combat — Briar-Tusk Ambush – The Boarwood Covenant

Boars with thorn-grown hides drive travelers away from an illegally widened logging road. The animals fight to disable, not kill, unless cornered.

PF2e build: use boars and weak plant-themed hazards at level 1, then reveal a carved oathmark under the churned mud.

A bronze ring etched with three lands: leaf, cloud, and north-star. It functions as a clue and later grants a +1 circumstance bonus to checks made to negotiate with covenant guardians.
