As both groups of fighters made their way higher the guards started to get more organised and grabbed some better equipment. First, they all made sure to have their helmets on and billy clubs at the ready. Some even started to bring out their own personal weapons… which were usually just swords. Then, when they were just about to make their way out of the bottom floors the shields started to come into play.
Not the little bucklers and hand shields that had been shown off before but massive tower shields that covered the lines completely. The guards started to form up. One line of three shield bearers, which was just enough to fill the corridor and behind them were another two guards that could actually attack over the shields. Usually with spears.
