Appearance:

Yew is a member of the guard in town, and he is charged with protecting the town. He is friendly, and will recognize a party member as a local. If the party attempts to enter town, Yew will greet them and ask about the stranger who lives in the abandoned house. He will ask the party to go there and see if the man is in fact a dragon cultist, and then tell them to get back to town.

Interaction:

Yew was born in the King's City and grew up admiring all the warriors who protected him from danger. When he was a young man, he joined the King's Guard, and served with them for years before retiring. He could have been promoted many times, but he enjoyed being a simple soldier and enjoyed working with the other simple men that he was friends with.

Background:

Yew is a warrior, and will attempt to fight the party with his spear. He is an experienced fighter, and his attacks will do considerable damage. If cornered, he will attempt to pick up and throw whatever is near him. Yew can invoke Barbarian Rage if he's below half his health. When this happens, he becomes stronger and will fight with fierce determination.

Combat / Skills:

Yew carries a spear that deals 1d10 damage and is considered a two-handed weapon. He has a leather armor which gives him a +1 to AC when wearing it. He has a "Knuckle Duster", which is really a spiked, steel glove. He will throw this to a single target if he has no other option.
