Watchman

Watchmen are the peacekeepers of Minetown. They are always generated peaceful, but can become hostile through a number of player actions.

• Attacking a peaceful watchman
• Attacking a peaceful shopkeeper
• Killing the priest
• Cutting down trees
• Destroying fountains by quaffing from or dipping in them (you will be warned first)
• Stealing from shops
• Digging through walls or doors (you will be warned first)
• Kicking down doors (you will be warned first)
• Unlocking doors (you will be warned first)

Some of these actions will not anger a watchman as long as he isn't in eyesight. In addition, attacking a peaceful watchman or a shopkeeper with a spell or wand does not anger the whole guard; merely the target of the attack.
