Legion ScoutReport
English：Legion Scout · Characters
The Skeleton Legion's scouts, and one of the few ranks in that army that still has a head. Stealth 60 and Ranged 60, carrying Oldworld Bows through the ash — and once Cat-Lon is dead, the force they travel with gets bigger.
The Legion Scout is a member of the Skeleton Legion, found only in the Ashlands.
Within this army they belong to the half that still has heads. The Legion breaks into three ranks — Legion, Legion Scout, and the far more numerous Legion Thrall. The first two are Skeleton Log-Head MKIIs and have not been enthralled; the last are the decapitated, rebuilt, headless units.
That dividing line is itself the Second Empire's verdict, written into the roster: the ones giving orders kept their heads; the ones carrying them out did not.
How they spawn
Legion Scouts appear in two ways:
| Squad | Composition | Weight | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skeleton Legion Scouts | 2–9 Legion Scouts | 1 | — |
| Skeleton Legion Force (Pre) | 7–22 Legions + 2–7 Legion Scouts | 2 | Cat-Lon alive |
| Skeleton Legion Force (Post) | 12–22 Legions + 2–7 Legion Scouts | 4 | Cat-Lon dead |
Operating alone they usually move in pairs; folded into a larger force, they are that force's eyes.
How they fight
The Legion Scout's stat spread is nothing like a Legion's:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Strength | 40 |
| Combat stats | 50 |
| Stealth stats | 60 |
| Ranged stats | 60 |
| Unarmed | 25 |
Stealth 60 with Ranged 60 is a scout's build, not a line infantryman's. They carry Oldworld Bow MkI and MkII on their backs and a Short-Cleaver in melee, wearing Ancient Samurai Armour over a coloured Armoured Rag Skirt at Standard grade with a 15% chance of High.
In practice the implication is plain: out in the ash, they see you first and they shoot first.
