Ogre Mercenary

Main

Works mainly for goblins and sometimes their hobgoblin allies; orcs and gnolls have bought him off. A visible, tangible offer greater than the goblin fee has a 90% chance of making him take both payments and return to his lair. Bear skins can mislead intruders into thinking a bear is asleep here.
