[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1492623, member: 8944"] No one has done this. There are regular guard posts every 80 yards, or so, and each of these posts has at least a half-dozen archers facing outward, and a half-dozen facing toward the center of the city. In addition, there are at least 2 draconids patrolling the wall between each post. The patrols change at a different time than the archers, and they change by individuals, not by unit. Thus, at any given time, there are fresh troops on every section of the wall. In the four corners of the wall, there are much larger units, theoretically able to move to any breech in the wall quickly, should it be necessary. There is a single, narrow gate in the center of the western wall. It has yet to open, for ANYTHING (that you know of). The patrols/archers seem roughly equally concerned about keeping people in as they are keeping people out. To aid in this, there is a wide, cleared area (no man's land) on BOTH sides of the wall. Thus, anyone approaching the wall from within or without should be able to be easily seen. Only to pursue any humanoids that try to leave the area. In addition, wyvern aerial cavalry occasionally leave the shelter of the walls. I think I was unclear, before. The 50 extra ships aren't really extra...they're just native ships that are being used by the draconids, because they were left in the harbor. You don't notice any EXTRA ships, but it's hard to know for sure, since you guys didn't really get a count of the ships that were in the harbor when the invasion started. You've only seen (while scrying) a few ships (less than a doezen) entering or leaving the harbor since you left the city. Still far, far away, as far as you can tell. [/QUOTE]
