Description
Bugbear assassins are specialized members of goblinoid hosts used to assassinate sentries. This makes them worth a lot to the host, and it also makes them able to slack off most of the time, when their special skills aren't needed. Given that bugbears dislike doing productive activities, it is a nice middle ground that works well for them and for the goblin king. This kind of negotiation is part of what keeps Slugor sitting on the throne instead of thrown in a shallow grave.
