Agent

GrdLoc
This order allows a character with agent skill to guard a population centre (and any bridges on the hex’s sides) for the turn. The character’s agent rank is improved by 1-5 points when this order is given. If another character attempts theft or sabotage at the population centre, and the guarding character successfully thwarts the theft or sabotage, then the guarding character’s agent rank will be improved by a further 1-5 points for each thwarted attempt. A successful guard may kill, capture or injure the intended thief or saboteur, but, conversely, an unsuccessful guard may themselves be injured or killed. The success of the attempt is based on the agent ranks of the characters involved, with a guarding agent likely to be able to guard against a character with up to twice their agent rank.
