The four of you lean over the map, and Sessha marks off a couple of locations as being bad ones right away.
In general, you'll be doing patrols with limited backup in a part of the upper or lower cities, but things are still big enough that you aren't the only one there.
Upper city, there's the Southern ward, which has more businesses, the largest graneries, and some of the more industrial-type buildings. Overall the roads are fairly wide and it's easy to move around, but some of the larger complexes are warrens.. if you get dragged inside them, it could be a bit of a slog or ambush country. There's also a big hospital, and a bunch of other buildings too boring for you to care about.
Then there's the Central Ward, which has a couple of truly large stables. Including one for dinosaur-sized lizards. There's some plazas, but you really cannot pay attention after hearing about the dino stables. Eventually Sessha pokes you when it's time for the next ward.
North ward, which is largely close-packed residential buildings along with shops. Shops, offices, homes. All fairly large and well organized, with a lot of people in it. Well, fewer people now that so many will be fighting, but things should be more ordinary here. This is also where that odd City cult was based, now that you think of it. And the best shops.
There's an inner ward in Uppertown too, just above the lifts and stairs, but Sessha waves it off. It's an absolute warren, save for a couple of big roads through it, just jam-packed of complicated interconnected buildings. Sessha says no to this one, too easy to get lost.
The lifts and stairs are already being patrolled, so they don't need you there.
Lowertown.. well, there's three choices here, after Sessha waves off the mansion district. Too many subdividing walls, she says, too easy to get locked inside one and be unable to retreat should things go very bad. Aww, would have had good looting chances.
That leaves.. the Palace District, which has the major government buildings and the Governor's Mansion. These are a little different, being more open to the public. You're pretty sure it'll get hammered if the walls breach, but it's got good odds of getting attention from someone or other.
Then there's the Market District, which has homes and most of the lower shops. Sessha says this is where a lot of big time trading happens, in raw resources, finished goods. Banks. This is where the bank you robbed was, so maybe that matters? You don't know.
Then there's the Old Quarter. This is the oldest part of Lowertown, next to where the original stairs were, and near the southern gate. The weakened wall section is close to here, so there might be a breach. The buildings here are very old stone and it's basically a mini-city in itself. It's also notable for the Tulian Mage University and an old museum. And the White Water Tavern.
So.. where do you want to patrol?
