Guards (Dungeon Siege)

Guards are a NPC type found in Dungeon Siege games. Guards are men or women who take up the responsibility of keeping watch over an area and protecting it against hostile threats.
==Overview==
All guards have a weapon of some kind, either a bow or a melee weapon. For melee, human guards tend to carry a short sword and a round wooden shield, while Dwarven melee guards carry a two-handed axe.
==Tactics==
Normally, guards are supposed to attack enemies that come close to town, either brought in by a fleeing adventurer or on an unfortunate wandering path. Those that do attack enemies can have their AI exploited to working beyond their usual territory.
Excluding modding, Guards in Dungeon Siege are always invincible. Most Guards do not have any sound files to play when being talked to. However Guards typically only serve to be useful in killing enemies near the start of the game. On higher difficulties they are barely able to damage enemies and are best used to distract the enemies.

Dialogue 	Topic 	Audio
"This door leads to the shortest way into the desert; the Hall of Skulls is down there, so watch out. It's some kind of ancient shrine, and the Droog have been holding it for more than a week" 	Hall of Skulls Guard 	
"You did mighty well out there with that necromancer Gresh. He's been terrorizing the region for days now. Ever since the last battle, he's been walking around calling us out to duel. We'd be crazy to go out there" 	Fortress Kroth Guard #0 	
"You don't look Legion; are you our reinforcements? Whoever you are, welcome to Fortress Kroth, last bastion to Castle Ehb." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #1 	
"Go an' check in with Capn' Tarish. He'll be wantin' ta hear whatever news you got fer us." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #2 	
"Oy was gettin' just aboot tired of hackin' at them skellies oll day long. Maybe they'll stay down fer good with that Krug-kisser Gresh gone." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #3 	
"Shhhh! I'm just waitin fer anuther one o' them skellies ta pop outa tha moat like they been doin all day. I just can't tell if I been shootin at the same one wot keeps gettin up, or if there's a big pile of 'em down there." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #4 	
"If you fought your way through Gresh's army, you should be more than able to get to the Hall of Skulls from here. The Captain sent a detachment down there to look for some woman he thinks is captured, but they were supposed to be back by now." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #5 	
"Captain Tarish has us all on alert while the detachment is away at the Hall of Skulls. I am just trying to stay awake with target practice until they come back." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #6 	
"Talk aboot gratitude, sarge takes away me ale when I tell him I seen Seck, and when I finally tell Tarish, he puts me on fire watch fer a week. I shoulda just kept me mouth shut. Still, if Gresh wasn't Seck, I don't know what he was." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #7 	
"I'm under strict orders ta make sure nobody disturbs the wounded. Make yer business quick with the Magus er I'll have ta ring yer bell." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #8 	
"I don' know if them undead are down fer good, but you done a good thing out there all the same. Maybe this means I can finally get some sleep." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #9 	
"here is nothing as horrible as having to fight the dead remains of our fellow Legionnaires. Thank Azunai you came when you did. I doubt we could have held the fort much more than a day without you." 	Fortress Kroth Guard #10 	
"Well met stranger! The Overseer wants to speak with anyone who comes in from the south. Sorry, Legion orders. You should be able to find him at the Lucky Hurgis Inn." 	Glacern Archer Guard #1 	
"I hate this shift. I swear that old statue is staring at me. They say it was up here all by itself when the first settlers arrived." 	Glacern Archer Guard #2 	
"Sorry, this area is off limits to civilians, please leave me to my watch." 	Glacern Archer Guard #3 	
"This snow is playing with my eyes, but I swear I have seen things moving around out there today. If I were you, I would head back to the Inn and grab a warm brew 'til this storm blows over." 	Glacern Archer Guard #4 	
"There hasn't been a Furok seen around these parts for twenty years." 	Glacern Archer Guard #5 	
"I've never seen the wolves attack a well-armed party; something's set them off for sure." 	Glacern Guard #1 	
"You picked a bad week to travel north. The road will be impassible for another few months, and the Overseer has withdrawn Legion patrols from the subterranean caverns during these attacks. No doubt the Trog are having a heyday down there in our absence. You will need all the luck I can wish you if you must go. Azunai's warding to you, friend." 	Glacern Guard #2 	
"Well you're a new face. You must be the one everyone says made it in from Stonebridge. I certainly hope your business was in Glacern, because if you intend to press onward past the eastern swamp, you'll never make it now that we've withdrawn the patrols." 	Glacern Guard #3 	
"I guess it isn't so bad being stationed here during the troubles; I'd rather stand in the cold for half a day than be hunting bandits up and down the Green Range." 	Glacern Guard #4 	
"Foulton is the best smith in these parts. I'm glad he can find the time to refit my armor while he is trying to keep up with all the reserve Legionnaires in town.""You're seeing things; it happens on long marches." 	Glacern Guard #5 	
"I swear by the stars that I saw a Furok on the march here from our post in the Caverns!""I know what I saw; strange things are afoot." 	Glacern Guard #6 	
"Looks like you have seen your fair share of battle, friend. With any luck, these counterattacks the Overseer is planning will finally give me something to tell my grandchildren." 	House Male Guard #1 	
"If you've come to Glacern for safety, you made the right choice. The Overseer has withdrawn all patrols to here in preparation for a counterattack. You won't find more Legionnaires anywhere but Fortress Kroth and Castle Ehb." 	House Female Guard #1 	
"By the shield of Azunai, were you sent by the Overseer? Our detachment was sent from Fortress Kroth to seek emergency reinforcements from Glacern. Four days ago, a terrifically powerful necromancer calling himself Gresh appeared, and laid into us with an army of undead and Droog at his flanks. With more Droog blocking access to Castle Ehb in the east, we were cut off from both sides.""Six of us used the old temple route to sneak past Gresh, but we ran into one of his tentacled guardians. It tore us to shreds. Somehow the two of us escaped to here, but now there's no way we can get Legion reinforcements to Captain Tarish in time. I don't know who you are, but if you're as capable as you look, I don't think Gresh would be expecting reinforcements of your kind. This may be the lucky break my comrades need to stop Gresh before he kills us all."	Legionnaire #1 	
"Tentacles and teeth... the flashing lights... so many dead... why so many dead?" 	Legionnaire #2 	
"Welcome to Stonebridge, stranger. You fought your way past all those Krug? I guess the mob that blew through here last night must have moved on to the farmlands." 	Stonebridge Guard #1 	
"You'll have to forgive the mess; we're still recovering from the last wave of Krug that broke through the gates. I think most of the shops are still open for business, but they won't have much left after the looting." 	Stonebridge Guard #2 	
"If you're headed north, we haven't seen anything but Krug come from that direction since the attack last night. If you manage to clear Glitterdelve Pass, it's gonna be a lot easier for us to secure the road when Cap'n gives the word." 	Stonebridge Guard #3 	
"You're safe enough here for now; I think the Krug have a bad taste for us after the slaughter we handed them last night." 	Stonebridge Guard Captain 	
"Well, we were just trying to figure out how to get the door open. You must be the foolhardy farmer my guards spoke of. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Did you really kill all those Krug back there?""The town of Stonebridge owes you a debt of thanks, friend. We will do our best to hold the ground you took for us." 	Wesrin Cross Guard Captain	
"Excuse me, what are you doing up-- oh! I see you have one of the Fedwyrr books. They're good reading; I just finished this one. You can borrow it, as long as you get it back to that mage kid when you're done.""Sure is cold up here." 	Archer Guard Male Book
