Friends: Home of Nogi Khan
Within the crowded walls of Jorhat Citadel where realestate is a precious comodity, Nogi Khan has a small home and training facility.
- Building Type: 1-1/2 story wood building
- Location: Jorhat Citadel
- Business Conducted: Polearm training
- Owner: Nogi Khan
Description: Nogi Khan's home and training center is a plain two story wood building with a flat roof. The front of the building has but a single door. Two weathered polearms are bolted to the each side of the door. Nogi's home is otherwise unidentified as a training center.
Once inside, one can see that the first quarter of the building has a loft while the remainder of the interior is a full two stories in height. The two spaces are divided by a large fireplace that opens into each space. A small table, a storage cabinet and a fur rug are the only comforts. Several small cooking pots are always laying bout around the hearth.
The training hall that occupies the back three quarters of the building is where Nogi spends most of his time. Three weapons racks are located on the right and hold an assortment of polearms and swords. Above the hearth is Nogi's prized glaive. To the left, are five practice dummies with crude leather armor and battered shields. The back corner of the roof has been built up to allow for some variance in the terrain. In the front left corner of the room is a ladder that Nogi uses to reach the loft and the roof.
Nogi's considerable wealth is stored behind a loose stone in the fireplace that can be reached from the loft. He had gold and gems totalling over 6,000gp.
Description of Services: Nogi conducts training on polearms and related tactics. While he is extremely skilled is large scale combat tactics, he perfers not to teach such things. He is highly skilled almost any style of polearm and can give advanced training in the glaive. He trains many of the arriors of Jorhat Citadel but also takes on a great deal of other students. He will train up to five men at a time but prefers to work in groups of three.
Students of Nogi will find him difficult and demanding. Once training has begun, they are expected to sleep on the floor within the training room. He offers no comforts and severely punishes those bold enough to ask. One of his favorite tactics is to attack his students in the night to judge how well they react to the situation.
Pricing:Nogi Khan knows that his skills are rare and therefore in high demand. As a result, one can expect to pay top dollar for his services.
A week's training:
175gp/level for polearm training.
Most of the training above can be accomplished inside of four weeks. One on One training for Glaive mastery can take up to four months.
Nogi has rudimentary skills with the bow and with swords. Although he disdains using one, He finds that the sword is necessary to train his students how to defend against a smaller, faster weapon.
