Once per round, if the Sangfrere Troop slays an enemy creature, the troop may slide up to 10 feet as a free action any time before the end of their current turn. This may be done in the middle of a full attack action. If so, any new enemy creatures brought into their reach by the move become valid targets for the remainder of their attacks this round. |
Sangfrere Troop
Nearly all of the Chairman Regent's personal guards are Arrakanza (bru-kin), whose loyalties have been purchased away from the Empire of the Spear. These imposing people stand around a foot taller than most other humanoids, and have a bulkiness of muscle to back up their towering height. Arrakanza are famous for their ferocity and tenacity in battle. Their culture celebrates the excision of weakness from the body and from the people as a whole, often through literal cutting rites.
- The guards are dressed in heavy cloaks and masks, attempting to hide themselves within the pageantry of the Exhaltation Gala. However, the Chairman Regent has signaled them to attack, and they have thrown off their cloaks, revealing the fact that they are well armed and armored. They carry a variety of weapons, but each of them is menacing and large. They seem to favor hammers, maces, and mauls, but several swords, and even a terbutje, are present as well. Each guard is armored in heavy chain mail, with brigandine plates at the joints. Despite this, they move with surprising agility.
Combat Tactics
Sangfrere Guards are relatively predictable, if savage, foes. They are strong and fast, but largely undisciplined, when it comes to choosing targets. Everyone not on their side is an enemy, and all enemies should be slain. Rather than tactically choosing targets (like singling out the magic users first), they will systematically hew through whomever is closest. Even their March of Death power is often misused, merely letting them get closer to the next victim in their path, rather than skirting around some troublesome knot for more opportunistic targets.
Out of Combat
Sangfrere Guards' pasttimes follow the cultural model of the Empire of the Spear, in the use of gaunts, listening to the valorous tales of the skealds, and partaking heavily of ale (but only when off duty). They take their guard duty very seriously, and cannot be bought or manipulated into betraying their contracts.
