The Guards

The Guards are an association set up by Erebus to be a group of PCs and NPCs who defend the 'newbie' town of Losthaven. It has a bad habit of being attacked by NPCs and higher level PCs. I love the Guards. It's single-handedly done more to attract a form of RP and rivalry than any other guild or association I've seen. Some of Losthaven's defenders (including myself) take the role pretty seriously. And some of those who attack the city take it pretty seriously too.

I've been a little annoyed lately that the attackers all tend to be MUCH higher level than the defenders, so there's little we can do to stop them. And no, not just talking about you Brak ;). Another tactic is the deployment of discord, a chaotic magick used to make everyone in the room fight. It's annoying because there's nothing we can do to stop it and it means the PCs (well usually me) are then banned from the city until the next reboot, and worse still lose 'honor' for the inevitable slaying of guardsmen that occurs.

Yes it's annoying but I won't move for discord being removed or anything. And I think for those of chaotic alignment it's probably one of the few occasions they can use such a spell effectively and probably a lot of fun for people on that side of the fence. Just wish that something could be done that would mean we're not sitting outside the city for two days.
