Watcher Guardians are summonable allies during Confront the Elder Brain, using their great weapon mastery to protect the city against the Absolutist forces' incursion.

Involvement

During the initial battle for High Hall, a large force of Absolutist cultists destroyed and routed the City Watch away from the keep, forcing what's left of the Watch to flee. Faced with severe casualties, what remains of the disposable City Watch forces available to retake High Hall are in the form of a small squad of Watcher Guardians under Constable Valeria's orders, and a group of panicked Watchers fleeing the keep's courtyard.

These Watcher Guardians can be summoned with the Gather Your Allies variant, The Watch if Valeria has been saved and is an ally present for the final battle. Summons a male Half-Orc, a female Tiefling, and a female Gold Dwarf to fight at the party's side.

Notes

Some members of this archetype may have slightly different passives, movement speed, weight, and size due to being members of different races.
These summonable Watcher Guardians have identical stats to the named Watchers seen running away from the courtyard, those being Gyordi, Ebber, Fry, and Goodge.
- However, these named Watchers' armour resemble that of the Breastplate +1 dyed in blue, brown, and black colours, rather than the armour specifically designed for the Watchers.
There are several other Watcher Guardian dead bodies strewn throughout the courtyard of High Hall, some of them being dyed in inconsistent schemes of blue and yellow, and blue and red hues.
