Bone Soldier

Much like the Bone Rabble, the Bone Soldiers were honorably and loyally soldiers that served our family in ages long since passed. They were the backbone of our family’s army and those who fought and died on the battlefield for our family’s name and glory were given honor graves within the crypts of the Ruins. However, when their bodies died, so too did their loyalties…

Dragged back from the peace of death by vile necromancy, these skeletal swordsmen have been drafted into a unholy army of the dead to defend the halls of the Ruins in which their new dark master resides. Dressed in the armor they were buried with and carrying the sword they once used in life, these skeleton fiends don’t have swordsman skill they had in life as they are just as simple minded undead only capable of simple slashes, but they stronger and much harder to vanquish than the Bone Rabble.

Behavior
Bone Soldier is a Unholy creature is as basic an enemy as one can encounter within the Ruins, only capable of simple slashes dealing average damage and nothing more, in essence an upgrade from the even lesser Bone Rabble. The only real danger with this enemy is that the finesse it had in life allows it to strike with a farther reach than other melee monsters.

Depending on whether health or stress is of greater concern to your party at the moment, it is recommended to destroy either the Soldier or the Bone Courtier they often team up with as quickly as possible, a relatively easy task considering their low health. Even mundane damage can eventually build up to something more threatening.
