Leaving The Tower?

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

It's true that it offers an alternative exit, but that also means an alternative entrance (at least in this case it does). Having to guard both the upper and lower doors, in a mansion like that (with a plethora of windows that all have to be boarded up, etcetera), it would be a lot of work. The tower was ideal because they only had to monitor one entrance. Same goes for the colony, or any other guarded perimeter. Limit the entrances, so that you can focus your defensive resources there.

true, but i mean they have 20 people! they can bord up, or brick the windows, and if they can find a way to distile the sea water, no more water problem they are currently facing, also they can fish and that can be another source of food.

We haven't physically heard like half of them.
They are either useless, or near that.
Aside from putting out the fire and maybe throwing a sofa off a balcony most can't/don't contribute much.

Think of them as old people or something.
They can help watch and move certain things, but fighting and facing the elements may be too much for them at this point??
