Icemule Trace Defenses

There are four towers at each corner of the town. These are maintained and stocked by the Icemule Town Guard.

There are walls surrounding the entire city with gates at the north, west, south, and east. Each gate is guarded by a Town Guard. Recently the walls were fortified with a magic spell to help strengthen them.

The walls are always requiring cleaning of ice patches to maintain safe passage.

Aerial Attack

Aerial attack areas will have a window, opening, or railing that you can PEER, FIRE ranged weapons or bolt spells, and CAST through at enemies below. You cannot target specific creatures and many spells may not work. These are usually safe areas from which lower level characters can participate in invasion defense. It's important to note that skill with ranged weapons is not required to use these, although skill may improve accuracy and deadliness.

  1. PEER through the window/portal to see if there are creatures below.
  2. If using a ranged weapon, FIRE <portal type>.
  3. If using a bolt spell, prep your spell and CAST <portal type>.

Use caution, as it is possible to strike friendly characters.

Trebuchet

There are bins that hold granite stones that can be used with the trebuchets to help fend off attacks from the walls.
