Guard

Guards and Bank Guards are NPCs found in most cities that attack any player with a skull. They are combat level 138 and can inform the player about their role. They can be pickpocketed at level 40 Thieving.

Three types of guards exist representing the three different combat styles; Melee, Ranged, and Magic. Depending on the style, the guards will wield a Chaotic Maul, a Chaotic Staff, or a Chaotic Bow - none of which can be currently be obtained by players right now.

After a hidden update, guards started smiting skulled players, preventing them from abusing the Protect Item and Retribution prayers.

Dialogue

 * Ello ello ello, what'cha up to sonny? Up to no good I expect!
 * Default chat old.png Player: What?…Me?…No!…Never! I'm just busy with the usual, cutting some trees and making some arr…sticks!
 * A likely story! All everyone wants to do nowadays is kill each other!
 * Default chat old.png Player: Oh dear! No, I'd never kill anyone!
 * Well, good! Those kinds of people are not welcome in our towns and if you ever do kill an innocent person we'll know and there will be no mercy!
 * Be careful if you decide to kill another player in DarkScape, if you're the one that started the fight you will gain a skull above your head. Guards will attack players with skulls on sight!

Trivia

 * They are among the few NPC's in the game that use Evolution of Combat Abilities
 * When you fail to pickpocket a guard, they will only hit you for a small amount of damage like any other pickpocketing target.
 * They have 1,000,000 LP, but their drop table is the same as regular guards.
