How to run The Long Reach
VoiceDry, precise, faintly sad. Serves cake off a blade at full extension.
WantsDistance. Control of the space. To help without being touched.
Do this nowThe Long Reach reaches — brakes a runaway cart through the spokes, serves a child cake from nine feet, controls a chokepoint no one can close.
“Nothing can get close enough. That's not instinct. That's spacing.”
Reach fighter and the party's zone-control specialist. There is a loneliness built into his art — the mouse who has made a virtue of never letting anyone near — played for gentle comedy over something quieter.
Fights best beside — The Headsman — the soak and the spacing; nothing crosses that lane twice.
