[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8181626, member: 6801228"] I already read it repeatedly. Nowhere did you mention how safe they were from monster attacks. You simply said that adventurers would be in the locations. Here, I'll just take one of them. "[COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]Dwarves on the other hand tend to stay in Dwarven mountain cities[/B][/COLOR] where they can delve for ore and gems. Some of those cities open up to the Underdark which exposes them to threats from beneath, and of course there are external mountain entrances. [B][COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]However, God help any monster or force that tries a frontal assault on a Dwarven hold. [/COLOR][/B] They'll deserve what they are going to get. Less than humans, Dwarves would also have expeditionary forces that [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]may set up small mining outposts[/COLOR][/B]. Those would be far more at risk. [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)] I think they would also have active and/or retired fighting types and maybe some clerics.[/COLOR][/B]" So, no mention of towns or villages, only cities and mining outposts. That is in the green. You then say that holds are safe, with the text in orange. Then you say that the mining outposts are safe with the blue. Well, you get upset if I say you said things that you didn't use the precise words to say. You simply said "I think they would have active and or retired adventurers". And, since you claimed that the halflings were safe because of retired adventurers, and that location would have retired adventurers, therefore it would be safe, following your logic. [/QUOTE]
