Description

In the company of Knoxrack himself, his legionnaires were said to have catapulted Geldbrau into the chaos that befell it into the second half of the twenty-first century. Their sharp ears and cunning senses enabled them to prevent word of their plans spreading throughout the Southern citadel. With sword and shield, they led the frontlines with their warlord against the Dwarf garrison, encapsulating them to their doom, the sharpened edge of a Goblin's blade. They call them the "Tyrsbani", a reference to it as the bane of the Dwarfen people, its forged shape allowing no mercy against them.   Through the training said to have been used by Znarc himself, their very own ancestor-deity, Knoxrack's Legion has learned how to win in one-on-one combat in nearly every situation. Acting also as his bodyguards, the Legion are some of the largest Goblins seen to date, outside of Hobgoblin appearances or indications. These Goblins also operate as independent soldiers, providing their own self-sufficient capabilities.   Knoxrack's Legionnaires are Level VI Irithi.   Gear: Tyrsbani (Longsword), Refined Skrap Plate (Half Plate), Znarcisheld (Shield), 20 GP.

Ideals

Loyalty. (Lawful) Legionnaires have been trained to maintain a degree of discipline within a system, to the extent that their allegiance is only to their master.

Bonds

Hierarchy. (Occupation) Thanks to their military rank, the typical Legionnaire is introduced to a high degree of responsibility within a hierarchical fashion.

Flaws

Pride. (Personality) The Legionnaires in their inception have become prideful. So much so, that they make assumptions based on the traits of their enemies in combat.

Suggested Environments

In his Legion, Knoxrack has put it forward for those of his newly trained kin to be tested by those he had worked with. This means that Legionnaires could practically be anywhere, but usually they are few and far between. Nonetheless, there may be aspiring Legionnaires in their company, and that typically presents a strong threat to those seeking to stop the interests of the Goblin tribes or clans. One can commonly find them in areas around military bases or camps set up by Goblin forces.


Unique Traits.
Regimented. 
Legionnaires deal extra damage against their targets if they are within five feet of their allies. Their allies must not be incapacitated or prone. 
Legionnaires deal an extra of 5 slashing damage.

Actions

Multiattack. A Legionnaire can make two attacks with their longsword.
Tyrsbani (Longsword). +5 to hit, single target. Versatile. 5 ft. range, 9 2d6+2 Slashing damage.
