Scout
Creature
The Scout is the outrider of any organized fighting force - a lightly armed, quick-moving skirmisher sent ahead to find the lie of the land and the position of the enemy. Wherever a party meets a Scout, a larger force is rarely far behind, which makes the Scout's death as much about silence as victory: a Scout that escapes to report turns surprise into ambush. They are no great fighters one-to-one, trusting to speed and the bow, but their value to the force behind them is out of all proportion to their strength.
