[@Pink Snorlax] It's cool. The town does have guards, but they'll be the ones escorting the townsfolk to the gallows. They wear cheap iron helms, chainmail shirts, and leather greaves. They wear the standard Firebird White and Red Phoenix symbol on their chests. The men are at about average level, in both skill and equipment. Some have swords, some have spears, and some are even wielding axes. The swordsmen all have shields. They do enforce the law, the law being "side with the Firebirds", and will not accept bribery. Also, I'm not sure if you know this, but generally, the GM makes the first IC post, so once I set up the scene (which should be sunday at the latest) feel free to post.
