Hunter's Guild
This new guild is a ragtag band of hunters. Discover their island outpost and join them to start their questline of hunts.

Some enemies have a couple of new behaviors that they can decide to do during combat. This includes the ability to block attacks and drink potions, if they have one. Both of these actions can be interrupted by a heavy attack or a lucky normal attack.
