Corrupt Guards
Bribable city guards in livery answer to whoever pays best, and a maul swing can dash a troublemaker flat in one hit.
Bought-and-paid-for muscle in city livery, corrupt guards answer to whoever fills their purse — and they hit hard enough to put a troublemaker on the cobbles in a single swing.
Attack of Opportunity [Reaction]
Improved Knockdown [Two Actions] A corrupt guard can dash their foe to the ground with a single blow. They attempt a single melee Strike. If this Strike hits, they also apply the critical success effect of a Trip. If they used a two-handed melee weapon (such as a maul) for the Strike, they can use the weapon's damage die size instead of the regular die size for the damage from a critical Trip, and they ignore Trip's requirement to have a hand free.
