Kael's [Guild Hall] is suddenly surrounded as rival players coordinate an assault, sending [mercenary NPCs] and using [board mechanics] to manipulate traps against him. He rolls the golden die repeatedly, triggering [defensive abilities] and activating [building-based attacks], while Liora casts protective wards and Thane picks off intruders with precise shots.
During the siege, Kael explores [new combat mechanics]: upgrading walls for [magical resistance], assigning workers to operate [defensive turrets], and using [board squares strategically] to funnel enemies into traps. He notices more [visual details]: Liora's robes glow brighter with each spell, Thane's cloak flutters like living shadows, and enemy players shimmer with colored auras representing their levels and abilities.
