Description
The advanced city guards represent a more well-trained and well-funded defense. A small to medium sized city might be able to defend themselves with these more competent city guards.
Advanced city guards are a much tougher breed. They’ve seen plenty of action and know how to fight. They use the same tactics as the regular guards, but are more reliable marksmen.
Lair and Lair Actions
Barracks. Rows of simple bunkbeds line the walls and center of the room. The stink of sweat lies heavily in the air, mingling with the sharp scent of oils and minerals used to polish armor. Weapons line the walls, ready to be drawn into action by the warriors that reside here. Several soldiers mill about the room and others sleep in the beds, preparing to rise with the moon for their watch.
Training Ground. The yard is split into quadrants, each identical in their dimensions. Racks of training weapons adorn each side—swords, spears, axes, and every weapon between. Shields, too, hang upon tiered racks, and a shelf carries padded training helms, breastplates, and gauntlets of every size. The smell of stale sweat permeates the air, and you see distinct dark spots on the yard where blood has spilled and dried.
