Tales of dragons harassing the countryside has been told since time immemorial. Dragons have once again been sighted in the countryside and there are rumours that these dragons are destroying more than the livestock in the fields. The nobles of Carcassonne has garrisoned a number of guards in the outposts dotting the countryside in the hopes that the guards there will protect the people in the countryside from the dragons. Outpost will protect followers from Dragon. A player can sacrifice a follower deployed on an Outpost as a Guard on behalf of the followers that should have been eaten by the Dragon. —user summary
