Wow! Such an underabundance of bad guys, if only the real world was like this. Everyone wants to rescue the elf-maiden, yet noone wants to kidnap her in the first place! Very well, meet:

Skara the Woodsman
Standing 5 foot 9, bearded (but not heavily), with brown hair and tanned complexion.
Skara is a self-confessed expert with the bow. Aged 29, he is a traveller by nature and a hunter and craftsman by profession, with no wife as of yet. In his home village, his time was mainly taken up by hunting to supplement his people's crude attempts at agriculture, but most enjoyed turning his hand to turning some wood. Fights with the bow or the knife, and usually with animals rather than men, but carries a short sword on this expedition. Very patriotic and loyal to his people and his village - cares little for the Elves or the Elf-friends (at the outset at least!). Adaptable and yes, occasionally ruthless, Skara is not above some foolhardy attempt to get rich quick.

Skara can be altered to suit the requirements of the RPG - I'd love to join in, and would like to know more about the motive for the kidnapping and where the 'bad' guys come from. Do they all come from the same village? Please post or send me a PM, if you still need some bad guys.
