The creature can't move farther away from the fisher (though it can move laterally). The fisher can reel the creature in as a single action with the attack and manipulate trait, attempting an Athletics check against the creature's Fortitude DC. On a success, the creature takes 2d4 slashing damage and is pulled 10 feet closer to the fisher (double the damage and distance on a critical success).

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Bar Fight!

Bar fights work better without a grid. Use the stat blocks here or in the Downtrodden section for notable participants. Most participants fight non-lethally with fists or improvised weapons. Roll one or two attacks at the end of each round against each PC in the fight (+4 attack modifier, 1d4+2 bludgeoning damage). Particularly inebriated fighters may be off-guard and gain a +1 item bonus to saving throws against fear effects.

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Orc agriculturalist (level 1), root leshy groundskeeper (level –1), tumbleweed leshy courier (level 3)

Sidebar - Additional Lore Dreams Of Adventure

Some laborers dream of a life away from their mundane jobs. While most of these dreams are of nobility or fanciful easy riches, others wish for adventure, travel, and magic. They eagerly listen to visiting adventurers and may even request to join them on an adventure. Those who are particularly foolish may not take no for an answer and either challenge the adventurer or sneak off with them as they leave.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Laborer Games

Laborers tend to play games when the work is slow or while on break. Common games include Gremlin Row, which involves rolling dice and trying to match them, as well as Fishing with Fire, in which players try to get all the cards of one type from a deck without losing all of their own cards and getting “burned.”

Sidebar - Additional Lore Silver Linings

Laborers have difficult jobs and long hours. The work itself isn't glamorous, and the pay isn't great. Despite this, some find enjoyment in what they do. They look at their job and see adventure in their daily lives. They're content to provide essential services, help save lives, travel, meet interesting people, or even face the ferocity of nature. Though the work may be lackluster, the perks can be great!
