He crouches forward in a low, coiled stance, heavy crossbow levelled and ready to loose, his chainmail hood drawn deep over a masked face that gives nothing away. A flowing cloak sweeps behind him, and beneath it, layered plate and studded armour speak to a professional who has survived long enough to keep upgrading his kit. There's a stillness to him that's more unsettling than aggression — the stillness of someone who has already decided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt comes in two variants to suit your encounter: one version presents Erik out in the open, bolt ready to fly, while the second shows him braced behind a heavy wooden pavise shield — riveted timber planted in the earth as he fires from cover. Both are faithful to the same taut, purposeful character and offer a meaningful tactical difference on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you run Erik as a seasoned mercenary guarding a smuggler's route, a knightly enforcer serving a morally ambiguous guild, or as the party's own crossbow-wielding Fighter or Rogue, this sculpt carries the weight of someone who knows exactly what he's doing. The detailed scenic base — cracked stonework underfoot — grounds him firmly in a world-worn urban or wilderness setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossbow Fighter or Rogue for a gritty urban campaign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElite guard or bounty hunter as a recurring NPC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-tier BBEG for a guild-focused intrigue arc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA display piece that rewards careful drybrushing and ink wash techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncounter Hook:\u003c\/strong\u003e The party has been hired to escort a merchant through the Scarlett Road — a route infamous for hired killers taking contracts from competing trade houses. As they round a narrow bend, they spot Erik crouched behind a pavise shield on a ruined wall twenty feet ahead, crossbow trained directly on the merchant's chest. He hasn't fired yet. He's waiting to see if the party's price is better than whoever hired him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 32mm.
