Hobgoblin Archer

From the War Journal of Captain Darin Steelheart: "The first arrow came without warning, embedding itself in the tree beside me with a deadly thud. As I scanned the treeline, I caught glimpses of them—hobgoblin archers, their eyes cold and calculating. They moved with a practiced ease, their arrows finding their marks with unnerving accuracy. We were forced to take cover, pinned down by their relentless assault. It was clear that these were no mere raiders; these archers were trained warriors, executing their ambush with military precision. In that moment, I understood why tales of hobgoblin archers instilled such fear in the hearts of those who faced them."

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Hobgoblin archers are typically found in well-organized camps or fortified outposts within forests, mountains, or caves. They prefer locations that offer natural defenses and strategic vantage points for surveillance and ambushes. These camps are usually meticulously arranged, reflecting the disciplined and militaristic nature of hobgoblin society. The presence of nearby resources such as water, game, and timber is also a crucial factor in their choice of habitat, ensuring the sustainability of their encampments.

Behaviour

Hobgoblin archers are highly disciplined and skilled in ranged combat, often serving as scouts and support units in larger hobgoblin warbands. They are known for their precision and patience, waiting in concealed positions to ambush unsuspecting targets. In battle, they coordinate their attacks with the rest of their unit, targeting key enemies to disrupt the opposing forces. When not engaged in combat, hobgoblin archers spend their time training, maintaining their equipment, and scouting the surrounding area for potential threats or opportunities. Their loyalty to their commanders and their strategic approach to warfare make them formidable adversaries.
