Civillians
Defining a Civilian
Statuses
Bored—The typical status of civilians. Prone to stopping for idle chats with anyone, admiring views and artwork or generally not paying too much attention.
Panicked—Looking everywhere because something is not right, and they know it. A panicked civilian has either spotted something unusual but not yet identified it as a thief - or they have been alerted by a guard. A panicked civilian's first action will be to attack if they are a soldier or mage, otherwise they will flee to the nearest guard and alert them.

Speed—How quickly they move. Speed+3 = inches moved each turn.
