An older man with a face that tells you he has seen years of hard work greets you upon entering the lodge. The man stands in full mithral armor with a gorget that clearly covers most of his face. His shield, spiked, bears the symbol of the Grand Lodge and his wayfinder in plain sight.
"I have been told you want to learn more fighting styles. Well I commend it, to many youngins come in here thinking the way they know how to fight is going to work for every situation. Well it doesn't and they are all dead, mostly, because they though that way. Follow me and I will show you a few things"
The man moves with a speed unusual for one of his obvious age and once outside calls to a rhino being tended to by a squire.
"Cmon Rhino there's work to do, you to Tiefling. There's a nearby crypt that was uncovered recently and I was asked to clear it out. What better opportunity to learn some skills then in the field. Not scared of some undead are you?"
Without waiting for your replay the man continues
"Of course not! You're a Pathfinder, there's no time for fear. I learned that long ago. I've also come to find out your best offense in the field is a great defense. This shield isn't spiked for my pleasure, I've spent years working on the techniques to properly wield it as deadly as some wield a sword. Those big swords and hammers may help to grind down your opponent but if they cant ever land a hit on you then they'll never be the victor. It especially helps when facing off against the creatures I have run into. One hit from them and who know what you'll contract or lose."
Rohender is a shield based ranger in his 60's. His attitude isn't so much rude as its based on the fact he has little time for names and formalities.
