When it can happenLeaving a village
CooldownOnce per character
As you leave the village, a greybeard walks up to you carrying a cudgel. Although he's too old to fight, he says, he was a warrior once and claims to know a trick move, a way of suddenly closing with your opponent and tripping them with a spear, which he offers to teach to your troops for a price. He shows you his battle-scars, which are indeed impressive.
