This also increases his speed to 40 ft. **Martial Advantage.** Once per turn, Xobzag can deal an extra 7 (2d6) damage to a creature he hits with a weapon attack if that creature is within 5 feet of an ally of Xobzag that isn't incapacitated. **Cunning Strategist.** Though smaller in size, Xobzag makes up for it in cunning. He has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made to discern a foe's plan or weakness. Actions Multiattack.** Xobzag makes four attacks with his Shortsword. **Poisoned Shortsword.** Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage. On a hit, the target must make a **DC 20 Constitution saving throw**. On a failed save, the target is **incapacitated** for 1d4 rounds from a burning sensation and double vision. Reactions Warlord's Fury.** When Xobzag reduces a creature to 0 hit points, he can move up to half his speed and make one Shortsword attack as a reaction. Roleplaying Notes Xobzag is a cunning and ruthless warlord. His small stature contrasts sharply with his ferocity in combat; he killed a giant and two ogres who taunted him. He is currently focused on figuring out where Thriven Dormor gets his "out of time" slaves. Additional Info Appearance Smaller than a typical hobgoblin, but exceptionally muscled and scarred. He wears pieced-together, heavy armor that affords excellent protection. Voice/Mannerisms Raspy, low, and commanding. He is quick to anger and action, often moving or attacking mid-sentence. Bond Maintaining and expanding the dominance of the Ripper Clan in the Oleg Keep area. He is the father of Trozig. Ideal Ferocity. Absolute loyalty to the clan and relentless aggression against all foes. Flaw Obsession with unique power/resources (like the "out of time" slaves), which might lead him to take unnecessary risks. Info Xobzag is one of Clan Rippers's best warlords. Though smaller in size than many of his peers, he compensates with exceptional cunning and ferocity. His legend is cemented by a particularly brutal event where he was taunted by a giant and two ogres; he killed them so quickly using his Ring of Speed (granting him four attacks per round) and his poisoned shortsword (which carries a potent poison—DC 20 Constitution save, or suffer 1d4 rounds of incapacitation from burning sensation and double vision). Current Operations and Intel He recently started trading slaves in exchange for muscle work guarding convoys of stolen wool and slaves with Thriven Dormor. Xobzag is highly suspicious of his trading partner and would like to know where Thriven gets his slaves, as they are unique in their mannerisms and seem "out of time." This is because the slaves are acquired by Erferil and the Red Company during their trading forays into the demi-plane where Lord Vellor is imprisoned. The slaves are universally sent north to the fighting pits at Spinecastle. Xobzag maintains some loose ties with other tribes near Spinecastle but is rapidly becoming a dominant figure in the Oleg Keep area. He delegated responsibility for the recent attack on Wanborne to his son, Trozig. Location Xobzag is typically found heading up large raiding parties along the Ripper Road to Oleg Keep and south as far as Bexley. He maintains a small but growing clan hold just south of the Ripper Mines. Equipment Ring of Speed, heavily poisoned Shortsword, worn but effective armor.
