DF: Still can't challenge the Swashbuckler

[Joseph Paul]

I am thinking if he is an Army of One let him encounter a well oiled platoon of lesser mortals that can bring a challenge.

A group that is in a position to use longer reach weapons to keep him from closing.

Net users. They don't have to be thrown over him. Tossed across the floor they would define areas that are dangerous for him to traverse and limit his movement. They could topple him or even bind him if the net guys are using Wait well.

Multiple-armed opponents (Land dwelling octopi? Insectoid races?) that can match his attacks and parries.

Make his opponents smart enough to attack him on terrain that is not conducive to him Dodging so freely. Perhaps they all throw flasks of oil (flammable or not) or caltrops to their front. Or behind him.
