INVASION

Invasion is one of the greatest fears of many city dwellers. Cities build defensive walls and devise emergency escape and supply routes for use in case of an invasion, and some even arrange for magical protection. Invaders could take the form of a foreign army, a horde of orcs, or the soldiers of the king seeking to regain control of a city that has gotten out of control. Invasions often lead to many other problems: shortages, as the enemy cuts off the city from its supplies; fi re, as the invaders lob burning arrows or pitch over the walls; and plague, as the dead rot in the streets. An enemy army with monstrous allies might launch both an invasion and an infestation at the same time.
