- This article provides one suggestion for character-type roleplaying. Please see the main Roleplaying article for contribution guidelines.
Go to different towns and follow and protect important subjects, i.e. the Countess, Count, store owners, Town Guards that are off duty, etc. Appoint yourself as the Countess'/Count's personal bodyguard, even when they're just sitting their in their fluffy royal chairs, drinking up their fancy Shadowbanish.
Just follow these basic guidelines:
- Don't use a town's uniform as your own. Mix and match different types of armor to make something that looks cool.
- If you're feeling insecure about whether or not you're good enough, go ahead and bring some friends along to help.
- Set up shifts with the people you can command. You could guard from, say, 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and then bring someone else (Knight of the Nine/Battlehorn-At-Arms) in to guard for the rest of the night.
- Always have your weapon equipped and ready to go, in case of ambushes.
- Secretly assassinate the Count's or Countess' current guards (the ones that stand by their chairs) and take their place near their throne as the new Guard of the Count and/or Countess.
[edit] Guarding Store Owners
- Inspect, talk to, and if your Blade or Blunt skill is high enough, disarm every citizen who walks in the store. To disarm them safely, just use the disarm move and then quickly yield.
- When doing this, you can guard the store itself, as well as the Store Owner:
- Make sure that no one rough houses.
- Make sure no one breaks anything or knocks anything over.
- Watch for criminals trying to steal and/or pickpocket others.
- Confront anyone who goes near the Store Owner's bedroom.
[edit] What to Wear?
- The "Ancient Blades Helmet" from the main-storyline quest "Blood of the Divines" is a very suitable, not to mention tough-looking and wartorn, helmet for use as a Freelance Bodyguard.
