Menagerie

Level 13 Bastion Facility

Prerequisite: None
Space: Vast
Hirelings: 2
Order: Recruit

  • A Menagerie has enclosures big enough to contain up to four Large creatures.
    • Alternatively, four Small or Medium creatures can occupy the same space as one Large creature.

Recruit Order in the Menagerie

  • First Bastion Turn
    • You pay the cost listed in the Menagerie Creatures Table for the creature that you choose.
    • You commission the facility’s hirelings to add the creature to your Menagerie.
  • Second Bastion Turn
    • The creature arrives at your Menagerie, and the hirelings look after it.
    • The facility is ready to accept new orders.

Creatures as Bastion Defenders

  • Creatures in your Menagerie count as Bastion Defenders. Deduct any you lose from your Bastion Defenders roster.
    • You can choose not to count one or more of these creatures as Bastion Defenders, in which case they can’t be called on to defend the Bastion. Instead, they act in accordance with their nature during an attack and use their stat blocks from the Monster Manual.
