He uses Ambush to give his bandits a good chance to surprise his opponents.During Combat During the first round, the Fox will try and trigger a weighted net trap to entangle as many opponents as possible, then release a volley of arrows on any visible leaders while his bandits move to melee. If he is able to intimidate his opponents into surrender, he takes his treasure and leaves. Otherwise, he uses Reposition to move his allies into flanking positions and begins using Tactician to improve their sneak attack damage and Sure Strike to help them hit. If anyone attempts to engage him directly, he will move around the battlefield with ropes between trees while using Cunning Trigger to set off prepared traps to hinder his pursuers.The Black Fox is an extremely effective bandit leader. He has been plaguing the roads through a local forest for several years now, managing to evade capture whenever forces are sent against him. He seems to enjoy the sport of being pursued, giving tantalizing glimpses to his pursuers, only to lead them into deadfalls and pit traps hidden throughout the forest.Edmund himself is very close-mouthed about his past, even among his men. In truth, he is the son of an exiled nobleman who eked out a living as a farmer. When his father died, Edmund decided he wanted a better life and would do anything to get it.Recently, the Black Fox has discovered a problem. His men captured a single wagon, defended fanatically by guardsmen of the king that exiled Edmund's father. In that wagon, they found a hidden compartment containing a young baby and a royal signet ring. Is this the missing heir to the local kingdom that all the rumors are talking about? If so, what will the Black Fox do with this new problem?</blockquote>
