Within the half-plane, Wan Chuan commanded his Clan, with the remaining two thousand Stoneheart Halflings ready at the portal, poised for battle.
Stoneheart Halflings are a variant of Halflings that are identical in physical quality, but possess a talent unavailable to ordinary Halflings – the Stoneheart Talent. It grants them immunity to charms, significantly increases their resistance to fear and other negative states, and slows the decline of their morale.
In addition to that, Wan Chuan had equipped this group of Stoneheart Halflings with the warrior profession. Each warrior was armed to the teeth with chainmail, a short sword, a hand crossbow, and a small round shield.
Being unable to carry higher-ranked Clan members was unavoidable, but their combat strength could be compensated for in other ways.
Armed with shield, sword, and hand crossbow, they were prepared to face any enemy without any weak spots.
