LAW AN D CRIME
Most of Precinct Three is policed by its residents, occa-
sionally supplemented by Boros troops when a serious
threat rears its head. Each block elects a watch captain,
who receives weapon training from Selesnya soldiers.
The captain can call on additional citizens for support in
case of a crisis. The typical response to a reported crime
takes about ld8 minutes, and the squad consists of a
watch captain (a scout) with two guards or two wolves.
In Concordance, it's either a knight or a Selesnya druid
with a topiary guardian (awakened tree). See the Mon-
ster Manual for these creatures' stat blocks.
Crime usually takes one of two forms in Precinct
Three. Some residents engage in outright banditry, but
they typically target visitors or go outside the precinct
to do their dirty work. More common are incidents of
livestock theft, which sometimes lead to outbreaks of vi-
olence between neighbors, particularly in Beast Haven.
