Have an islander going with a cabin built on a good-sized island. Journeyed to Driik territory early on to trade my rough woodsman's axe and some meat for a far more serviceable masterwork handaxe and a fishing rod. My hideworking skill is JUST getting high enough to be able to tan saleable (harsh) furs.
Anyhow, have had a couple Njerpez sightings on my islands, that I've mostly ignored. My character isn't that much of a fighter - mediocre or at least unreliable combat skills, except for a 60% bow, no armor other than furs, 50% dodge, and mainly a shortbow / fine club for armament. One of the Njerpez kept wandering annoyingly close to the trap line I've been trying to build around a small local lake. So - perhaps unwisely - I decided to end him. Enemy armored with several pieces of lamellar and holding a sizeable woodsman's axe. I should probably have enlisted help but was too lazy. Instead I tried sneaking around the woods trying to pepper him with arrows. His armor kept him up for quite a few shots, but was able to back out of sight repeatedly and sneak around to maintain distance. Good to have that guy gone.
