Guard (Miscellania)
The Guard is a non-player character (NPC) found within the realm of Miscellania in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). This NPC plays a vital role in the royal household of King Tydus and serves as a security figure for the area.
Location
Guards can primarily be found roaming the palace grounds, as well as patrolling the surrounding villages. Their duties extend to safeguarding the areas accessible to players, often positioned near key locations such as the palace entrance and the central square.
Appearance
The Guard wears a traditional armor set that signifies his role, consisting of a white tunic with a blue royal crest, alongside sturdy chainmail and a helmet. The color scheme reflects the official nature of his position and the authority he embodies.
Functions
Guards serve to maintain order within Miscellania. They do not engage in combat with players and are primarily non-hostile unless provoked. A unique feature of these guards is their vigilance over the player’s activities in the vicinity, ensuring that lawlessness does not prevail.
Interaction
While the Guards do not provide significant interaction opportunities like quests or tasks, players may observe their duties from a distance. Guard’s presence adds to the ambiance of the royal setting and serves as a reminder of the kingdom’s structure and authority.
Combat
Guards are not aggressive NPCs and will not attack players. Players can walk past them without any adverse consequences. However, should players attack them, they will retaliate, although they are not considered formidable foes, making them more of a nuisance than a challenge.
