STRIKE OR DEMONSTRATION

Guilds seeking better wages for their workers, or citizens concerned about particular governmental activities, might stage widespread demonstrations to make their point heard. Many evil and neutral governments do not permit such demonstrations, so these are possible only in certain cities. A planned demonstration has the tolerance, if not approval, of the city. Guards might be dispatched to provide security, ensuring that neither the protesters nor the passersby get out of hand. At the least, a strike shuts down certain shops and industries. A sufficiently large demonstration could make doing business—or even walking—impossible in certain districts.
