Alternate Ranger

The
Ranger
As the graying man made his
way through the underbrush of the
forest his faded green cloak made him
nearly invisible. The monstrously large
troll he had been stalking through the
night had finally stopped to rest. As the
great brute lay down to sleep, the silent
green shape emerged from the trees to
snuff out the life of the hideous monster.
As the massive blue dragon descended
upon the small town, a small half-elven man
rolled out of the path of a blast of lightning.
With the small hairs on the back of his neck
still standing up from the residual electricity,
the practiced hunter nocked an arrow and let
it fly in the direction of the terrible beast. As the
dart struck, the dragon let out a horrible roar and
plummeted to the ground landing in a broken heap.
As the fearsome owlbear lumbered toward the tiny
hamlet that she called home, a small halfling whistled to
her companion in the brush. At her signal, a giant dog that
seemed to be more fur than anything else leaped out from
hiding and stood defiantly in front of the owlbear. Distracted
by her partner, the owlbear was caught completely unawares
by the diminutive ranger. Once their foe was unconscious, the
halfling and her dog released the owlbear miles away where
it could live without menacing the town they protected. Creating
