RtL: Attacking Lt.s in cities? What happens?

By player266669, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

I'm the Overlord in a Road to Legend game, and my players wanted to fight off a Lieutenant who was besieing a city. We looked through the rules, but I could not find what is supposed to happen when a party moves to a city that is occupied by a Lieutenant, and they want to fight him.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thank you!

The exact same thing happens as if they moved into the same location as a Lt at dungeon location. The move onto the city, and if they so choose they attack him. The rest of it treated just like an normal Lt encounter.

If they attack a lt. in a city is can they still visit the town after winning?

Via the FAQ:

Q: If heroes are attacking a lieutenant in a town, can they "visit" the shops, etc. before encountering the lieutenant or only after battles have resolved?
A: Only after battles have ended.

Which is to say: yes.
