“Quick feet. A blade in the crowd.”

Lore

Masked road thieves race ahead of Kataris's hired swords. They dodge half of incoming melee strikes, but ranged attacks find them and a stunned raider cannot dodge.

Combat behavior

  • 50% chance to dodge melee hits; disabled while stunned.
  • Ranged hits are not dodged.
  • 20–30 melee damage every second.

How to counter

  • Use ranged attacks and stun against melee dodge.

Appearance

A shirtless tan raider with uncovered brown hair, a red face scarf, brown belt, trousers and boots, carrying a short knife.
