Harrick had enjoyed, over the past couple of months, extracting money from the collection of villages in the Upgard Hills. A tall man, scarred and toned from years as a galley slave and a criminal, he was just now pushing thirty and well into his stride. From a small ruined tower, left over from the Empire that crumbled centuries before, he roamed out with his trusty mastiff Argus. The huge, fierce, black beast helped keep order and once or twice had pinned down potential trouble makers. Really, though, the villagers were too spineless to do anything other than pay up for his 'protection'. Some had even hinted that it could have been worse, as Harrick have never show any interest in their daughters.
So it was with a sense of surprise that he'd heard, on the rumor mill, that the villagers of Sholt, Farron, and Evergreen had banded together to entice a hero to come and stop him. He was still further surprised when the young adventurer kicked open the door to his tower and began to climb the stairs.
On the floor above, he waited, sliding his blades uneasily in their sheathes. He had a few tricks up his sleeve yet. But what took him by surprise was how...feminine the figure in the doorway looked.
'So you're the fearsome fight the villages sent to deal with the bandit problem' he chuckled. 'At least let me know whether you are a man or a woman darling?' and he chuckled, making kisses faces at the figure.
