Fahrak

NPC overview

A hobgoblin officer, wearing riding boots and mounted on a giant wolf, led four troopers. He offered the party a place in the Ironfang Legion as "beloved slaves," carried papers and a letter from Sergeant Escarbinus proposing an alliance, and recognized the group as bounty targets worth fifty gold each.

He arrived outside the cave with his four troopers and the wolf, dismounted, and entered the tunnel alone to parley. He cursed the "Xulgath," demanded to know the group's identity, and presented the Legion's terms. Once most of the group was visible, he identified them as the named bounties. Hostilities began inside the cave; he was slashed and dazed, slowed by magic, struck by conjured force, and hacked Gundugar with a battleaxe. He pressed through the choke while his wolf attacked, suffered repeated wounds as the fight widened, and was overwhelmed by fear- and binding-magic, rendering him prone and slowed. He was ultimately defeated after sustaining repeated blows while his remaining troopers attempted to fall back. His body was later searched, and his documents were recovered.
