101 Reasons to use that NPC

Its amazing how every other pioneer you meet have some secret ability that sets them apart. Its even more surprising how Sir Lyndon seems to know so much...

In fact, right in City Rebolduex, the humble town cook Panfilo is not just the pretty boy that has every girl in town falling for him. He also happens to be the only sabre user that dons metal armor.

He also has a habit of cooking his preys on the spot with his fire spitting tricks.

That also reminds me of an afternoon scuffle I had some time back with the local town guard. Thinking him unskilled in the expert stances, I had swaggered confidently into a duel with him, only to be beaten soundly by his Pommel skill that bypassed all my defences, ending with a resounding.. and painful.. knock on my head.
