Sylvester Archipelago

1) You wrote that luck didn't save Alex. Did he also rely on luck to succeed in all his combat rolls? Meaning, "missed - luck," "hit - luck." I thought it only worked for non-combat situations.

2) Did I randomly encounter the boar? If so, who else could I have encountered?

3) If we hadn't gone to the village, would the histeons have slaughtered the natives, and we wouldn't have learned anything?
