With a player-driven and practically server-wide conflict between Upper and Lower now heating up in the advent of these bombings, now is a perfect time to get in on some of the excellent opportunities in the Sanctuary Watchers. Despite the fact that there's currently two sergeants and a handful of Watchers, the faction is wide open to interesting new concepts. There's plenty of room here to stir things up, both inside Sanctuary and out of it!

  • Do you like crazy, classy, and massive PvP? We like charging into Lower and raiding those criminal scum.

  • Do like getting together with your buddies to explore and interact with your friends? A Watch that patrols together grows together (and also sometimes run into dozens of Pissrat Veterans).

  • Do you like shady dealings, secret meetings, and lots of scheming? Well, sometimes the enemy of your enemy can be a friend...

  • Do you like the satisfaction of catching criminals? There are plenty tense trials to organize and win.

There are tons of concepts that could fit into the Sanctuary Watchers, whether you're looking for some tumultuous battles with weapons or with words. The Watch has been without an active Investigator for quite some time; the position is just waiting for an interesting concept to come in and sweep it up.

While the Watchers are obviously a lawful organization, most alignments and classes are welcome to join as long as they're capable of wearing leathers. There are a lot of avenues to interact with the server in the Watchers. At home, they have rivalries with folks like the Auxiliary and the Society. Elsewhere, there's all kinds of delinquents to butt heads with.

And you don't even have to make a new PC, either -- most concepts are welcome to get active in the Watch, especially considering the awful things that have happened in Sanctuary over the last couple of days. Perhaps your character's been inspired to protect his home after Marge's bombings.

So join up, hit us up IG or OOC in #watchers, and get involved in all the juicy conflict!

Potential Concepts:

[indent] - A spymaster rogue dedicated to cultivating a network of spies in order to keep tabs on everything happening in the Underdark

 - A gritty sellsword with high bluff that uses the Watchers as a source of income and prestige while playing both sides of any conflict for the right price.

 - A quartermaster inspired by any combination of greed and duty to provide the Watch with the supplies they need from sellers and the gold they can acquire from people buying their unneeded spoils.

 - A silver-tongue or forger who passionately fights for a guilty verdict on criminals -- whether they deserve it or not.

 - A bounty hunter that leads the Watch in catching wanted criminals.

 - A mesmerizing sorcerer with access to light armor who casts enchantments on criminals to score confessions.

 - A cleric that takes to the more zealous side of the law, attempting to convert her peers into the folds of her religion.

 - A corrupt Inspector that lets criminals off as long as his pouch gets just a little bit heavier.

 - Any number of ideas that hit up the more evil, exploitative side of things.

This has my vote of approval! The Watchers can be a lot more than boring law enforcement flunkies.

Given the amount of Sergeants I would advocate that anyone looking to join up consider the awesome pursuit of the Inspector Branch.

Detectives, spies, criminal conspiracy, digging through dirt, narcotics, and similar are all ripe for pursuit with such a heavy emphasis presently on the Defensive Branch of Sanctuary.

Plus there's always potential for corrupt officials though such requires a fair bit more DM oversight it can lead to awesome undertakings.

Updated the main post with some concept ideas for people who are interested!

While I kinda can't quite disclose certain things OOCly, there are likely some cool changes coming that have a chance to affect the Watchers directly. Now's a great time to get your feet wet and make a name for yourself in the faction before things get heated up!
