Bucaneer, no k.

I'll add these tomorrow, well done guys keep at it.

The above would make more sense. Why would orcs be attracted to human women? Lizardmen are immune anyway, as we don't know thier gender.

Yeah, I was basing it off the Stirlander Longbowman on Killer Shrike but he's rather cheap looking at others.
And I think Wayfarer would be a better name for him. Mabye 40 cold coins to hire, 20 upkeep. And remove the falchion option.
