A close friend claims to have killed one, but he claims so many things that
its safe to assume he's lying.

ive had alot of new pks chase me in there just to get guard killed heh.
What it looks like to me from the discussions I've read, is that while the guard towers may not have been official guard zones, they actually had town guards that spawned in them that would kill when they saw criminal acts or murderers and could be called if they hear someone calling guards just like normal.Dec 22 1998 wrote: >I was killed in a guard tower (??) near the

Those things are strange. Sometimes they have guards sometimes they don't.
Also sometimes the guards are there and do nothing. Other times they
teleport to kill up to 3 screens away. I am really confused about those
places, especially the one right above Orc Valley.
