Base Class: Fighter
A grizzled veteran looks across the field as raiders rush from the wood line. He waits ten more seconds before rushing to the defense, knowing that another group will be coming shortly. He intercepts the reinforcements directly, cutting a path through the surprised warriors before giving the signal to his allies. The cries of terror of the townsfolk are replaced by cries of dismay of the attackers as hidden defenders spring from their positions and route the raiders before they can get away with their loot.
