It reads thus. "Dear brother Jaco, I send this letter to you, to let you know I have finally succeeded in the destruction of what you have told me about. I ask from you to remain silent, for the Order is strong and should they find a hint of us they will not hesitate the slightest bit. I could use your help in hiding. You know that the Half-Moon has spies even in the slums we live in. I require this from you: The last dagger is still in the circle. Retrieve it before we meet again. Darkness seeks the cat. This concludes what I have to say through this letter. I only hope it falls on the right hands. Yours, Carter." Along with said letter is another, also penned by Quill. IT reads thus. "I do not know the validity of such a document, but I had a feeling that the guard should wish to hear of it, anyway. -Quill Scribe, Scholar, and University Professor _________________________________________________________________ Winterize your home with tips from MSN House & Home. http://special.msn.com/home/warmhome.armx From dan at arangoth.org Mon Dec 15 00:07:41 2003 From: dan at arangoth.org (Dan) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 01:07:41 -0500 Subject: [Royal Guard] Arrest in the Inn Message-ID: <3FDD4FAD.7000501@arangoth.org> Lieutenant Riknueth, Corporal Garlthik, and I stopped in to the King's Inn late this evening on the way back to the Guardhouse for the end of our shifts. Upon entering, we found a battered corpse lying in a pool of blood and other bodily fluids. There were no shortage of witnesses willing to give testimony regarding the events that transpired. All of them indicated a man who identified himself as Azuka Pendragon. He himself came forward to testify that another man, who later identified himself as Shamus, was responsible for the murder. Vorfon Pendragon adamantly refused to return to the Guardhouse for questioning, and insisted that he be allowed to return to his room to rest. After three attempts to get him to come peacefully, I warned him that we would subdue him forcefully if need be. At this point, he turned his back and began walking away. I used the opportunity to shoot him in the back with a drugged dart, which felled him. After shackling him, the Lieutenant and I brought him to the Guardhouse and placed him in a cell, where he is awaiting further interrogation and trial. Attached are the testimonies of three inn patrons who witnessed the altercation ((testimony.txt)), as well as the testimonies of the inn staff ((azukafight.txt, a log from the inn)). Me enxenim, Lucius von Stahl Captain of the Royal Guard 15. XII. 473. ----------------- OOC note - Azuka's mun said that he should be around later in the evening tomorrow night, probably around 10 or 11pm EST. If any of the Magistrate muns want to take care of his interrogation and/or trial, msg him and set something up. I'll be home from work after 11 EST, so I can bring in Lucius or Marcion if need be. -------------- next part -------------- He was asking people to spar, which i think is okay. The drunk started spouting off his mouth and threw a mug at the warrior. The warrior walked over when the drunk puked and was in pain and kinda said, hey there pathetic drunk. Then the Drunk pulled a rusty old dagger and started getting sick all over the warrior s nice clothing. then the drunk stumbled a few times and then stabbed the warrior in the face. at which point the warrior really started beating the life out of the drunkard. then the drunkard seemed to decay he came apart so easy with the beating. (Anything else?) no i dont think so, there was another drunkard there at one point, but i dont know what happened to him, and the man in the corner at table 5 was threatening the warrior withthe crossbow but i didnt actually see him shoot it at the warrior or anything else. i think that s it. Thank you. I hope justice is done. I've been sitting at the bar all evening and nothing caught my attention more than the ferocious drunk who stumbled in. I read him to be very upset but without any control, his puke must have reached my clothing on several occasions. So upset that he was wailing around and causing a scene when the stranger that you arrested stepped forward to try to calm him down. At that, the drunkard lunged towards the "assailant" as you call him and in defense of his life, the fight began in order to get him on the ground. His death must've been an accident sir, because a few good souls had fallen on top of him and his weak bones were crushed. That is as I saw it and as it was. What do you mean that "a few good souls had fallen on top of him?" well it was rather amusing, pardon the seriousness of the case. Two of the normal crowd at the bar had fallen over in their own laughter and drunkedness As i recall several on the floor atop one another I see. And would would you say that the suspect in this crime was acting purely in self defense? The weight must have been too much for this old man's ribs to bear. Purely. I dont know the people involved other than to say, the arrested was in fact attacked with a weapon, while he remained weaponless. Perhaps your guards may have found the dagger with the body. I see. Were there any other individuals involved in this altercation? As I mentioned the two that fell, but i could not name them, because i do not know a single one. Can you describe them? Ahh a man and a woman. Humans with somewhat dark features. Thats what I recall. Is there anything else of note that you saw or heard that you'd like to bring to our attention? No that is all. but I'm quite tired and need to find lodging. Thank you for your time. I was on my third mug of ale when things began. It started with our little offender here screaming out a challenge to the entire room. Didn't take it seriously, so I didn't pay it too much mind. There was a crash of a mug and when I looked up. . I see a drunk vomit on this guy who in turn strangles the drunk violently! Or at least he tries. The drunk slips out and falls forward. And then? I don't know exactly what transpired on the floor, but what happened next was that the drunk attacked the offender with what I can only guess. . uh, was a knife. Drunk, as what can be expected, falls AGAIN, but only after wounding that slow witted gorilla. The next thing he does is get up and on the drunk, punching him without remorse. Heard a sickening crack, I did. . must have been a bone or something. I thought the man was done 'cause he got up, but no! Wasn't enough that the drunk was done. . he had to give him a good swift kick, too. And that's that. Well, then he got up and started cussing at onlookers. I see. Were there any other individuals involved in this altercation? And as soon as the guards showed up, he made a run for clean clothes. I think there may have been one more. Came when the big man screamed for someone to help him with the drunk. It'd be that fellow asking around for the last necklace. I think he tripped the man. Could be wrong. Can you describe the man who was looking for a lost necklace? Black hair. . uh, couldn't be more than 5'6" or 5'7". . his clothing was plain and, well, shoddy. . something a worker'd wear, I'd guess. Definitely not a warrior. When we questioned the suspect we now have in custody, he accused you of the murder, and claimed that the wound on his face was caused by your crossbow. Do you have any idea why such animosity would be directed toward you? Oh, 'cause I insulted him when he tried to justify his actions. The man has no sensibility, I tell you. Is there anything else you'd like to bring to the Guard's attention at this time? No, no that's it. Thank you. You're welcome. Just doing my civic duty. -------------- next part -------------- [10:58] (Shouts)"Are all of you afraid of a little fun, a hand to hand spar is all I ask!" [10:59] * Adaen` places a broken necklace upon the counter top. It has two stones of dark earthy colors that may have once been attached to each other but now are filing for divorce. [10:59] (A drunkard shouts) "Bah! Yyyyoure sshtoo shtoopid to pick up a shord!" [10:59] * Quai`ke lands in front of the bar and hears shouting from within. Gathering her elfish form she walked through the doors leading the warm antechamber of the inn. [10:59] * Quai`ke looks over at Nychta as they shout. [11:00] * Nychta is now known as A_Drunkard [11:00] *The Drunkard attempts to throw his mug at Azuka, but fails miserably and then vomits on himself.* [11:00] * Quai`ke looks at the drunkard, "me?" [11:00] "oh him." [11:00] * Azuka`Pendragon is disgusted with the amount of cowards in this inn tonight [11:01] !order ale [11:01] * @Dulcina walks to the bar and returns with ale for Quai`ke. [11:01] !tip 2 coins [11:01] * @Dulcina nods to Quai`ke and gives a smile, "Thanks!" [11:01] A good attitude to have. :He shrugged his shoulders once more, a brow quirked at Azuka.. Sad sad little existance that one was.. : [11:02] * Azuka`Pendragon Walks over to the old drunkard [11:02] "Hello there you pathetic drunk" [11:02] * Quai`ke looks around the bar which seems to be settling and sits at a stool. Quai's attention rests on the drunkard and the warrior. [11:02] *The Drunkard slips in his puke, gets up and brandishes a dull, rusted knife.* "YOU!! You, shtoopid..... Yooooou're gonna pay frroorrrrrrr..... Grrghblllblplll" *And then he lets out a spray of vomit, mucous and saliva in a gout of half-digested -SOMETHING- right at Azuka.* [11:04] * Adaen` catches some puke in his hair but doesn't seem to notice as it vanishes upon arrival. [11:04] (How convenient.) [11:04] * Azuka`Pendragon Was not ready for the vomit. Looks at what was once great clothing, his vision slowly moves back up to the drunkard. Without warning he attempts to throttle the drunkard with his fist [11:05] *But the drunk is too quick, he stumbles under the fist and lurches forward, probably smashing his face into Azuka's crotch area, dribbling puke from his mouth and nose as he did. A foul smell, fouler than usual radiates from him, as he loses control of his bowels and bladder..* [11:06] * Quai`ke moves farther from the messy duo. [11:07] * Azuka`Pendragon is again surprised from what this disgusting man is doing. Rasing both arms in the air Azuka then claspes his fists together and attempts to knock the drunkard's head [11:08] * Quai`ke turns to Zala who is sitting at the bar, "hey, are you seeing these two crazies over here? They are battling it out with their insides." [11:08] * Adaen` takes his short wooden pipe carved with his own hands out of his stiff pocket. He looks around searching for a source of tobacco. [11:10] "Someone help me with this beast of a man!!" [11:10] *The drunkard gets knocked into the ground and moans, spitting out one of his blackened stumps of teeth. He moans, and pushes himself to his feet, still holding that rusty dull knife.* Urrrrrryou baaaaast.. ARGH!! *The drunk lurches forward, attempting to stab Azuka in the face.* [11:10] "look out!" [11:11] O watch where your swingin! [11:11] * Azuka`Pendragon just barely dodges the man's attack, a deep gash can now be seen on his face [11:12] "Help!! Somebody!! He's gone insane!" [11:12] * Zala looks where Quai'ke indicated. Not a pretty sight. If it isn't something you like then don't watch. True to his words, Zala looked away. He seemed to be struggling with some idea in his head as he stared off into space. [11:12] * Stephan_Raul stands. "Belay that peseant scoundrel, can t a man drink in peace!?" [11:13] * Quai`ke was already looking back at the dirty mishap [11:13] * Adaen` hears Azuka's call and sticks a foot into the drunkard's shin. Hey anything he can do to help. [11:14] AahhH! Yooooosllllllitttttle punk! Grrglr! *The drunk burped, and then blinked when a bubble of mucous sprouted from his left nostril and popped. He lurches forward again, forgetting his knife, and begins to flail as he approaches Azuka, hoping to accomplish Gods know what.. But then he gets tripped, falls to the floor and vomits -again-.* [11:14] * Quai`ke begins to laugh [11:15] * Azuka`Pendragon sits on the drunkards chest and punches at his face with all of his might [11:15] * Quai`ke holds her sides and laughs with her mouth open at the spectacle. [11:16] [11:16] * Adaen` turns to Azuka "ahh what did you do to stir up this revelry?!" [11:16] [11:16] * Quai`ke cant help herself and falls off her stool laughing at the drunkards in the inn. [11:17] * Azuka`Pendragon Stops his barrage of punches "I simply approached the man in search of a spar!" [11:17] * Adaen` shakes his head at the disaster [11:17] *Upon being struck the third time, his jaw snaps with an audible CRUNCH. His lower jaw twists at an obscene angle. The drunkard makes gurgling noises, blood and vomit oozing from the corner of his ravaged mouth.* [11:18] * Quai`ke stops laughing and looks shocked. [11:18] "good god man, look what you ve done to the poor bastard." [11:19] Are you adressing me? Is this all my fault? [11:19] * Azuka`Pendragon realizes the crazy drunk is down for the count.Eases off the man's chest slowly standing up, he'd give the man a hard kick in the ribs. With one of his might hands he'd sweep his face to find massive amounts of blood were oozing from his figure [11:19] "i certainly hope you have plans for all these drunkards bodies." [11:20] "Someone shut this man up! I haven't the time to listen to his whining" [11:20] "I can see how you end up with these problems." [11:21] * Adaen` looks at Stephan undecided whether to slap him or respect his opinion. [11:21] *When that kick finds his fragile ribs, the thin, brittle bones shatter violently, twisting inwards and turning his ordinarily symmetrical chest into an awful, sunken depression. The drunk twitches and gasps. He's very badly hurt, as is evidenced by the bright red arterial blood that begins to dribble in a steady stream from his nose and mouth. He twitches, and groans.. And stops moving.* [11:21] "I suppose you want to end up like him too?" Points to the beaten drunkard From bleedingbloodyhell at yahoo.com Wed Dec 17 21:47:19 2003 From: bleedingbloodyhell at yahoo.com (Blake Murphy) Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 19:47:19 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Royal Guard] Arrest of slave, slave owner in the inn Message-ID: <20031218034719.38556.qmail@web60410.mail.yahoo.com> Setting pen to paper, the ever-dour Corporal Brightblade wrote up his account of the night's events in the inn, summing up Zesstra's account first. "Lieutenant Riknueth was relaxing in the in when she noticed a pair, ones Svitri and Scarzam, Svitri chained to the man. When Svitri left Scarzam's side to fetch him a drink, the Lieutenant approached Scarzam to inform him that he was under arrest. Svitri, the slave, defended her master, rushing back to try and knock the shackles from Riknueth's hand. A fight ensued between the two as Zesstra made to shove Svitri aside, whereupon the woman attacked her. At this point, I entered, and, taking note of the fight, circled around behind the paint and the Lieutenant, weapon drawn. When the master, Scarzam, took note of me, I commanded that he stay still and yield. he failed to comply, and, as his companion assaulted the Lieutenant, I assumed him to be a threat and made to knock him from his feet with the blunt end of my axe. Meanwhile, Riknueth had forced the slave to yield, and had her shackled (I am not certain of the details of this, as I was occupied at the time), whereupon Scarzam yielded, allowed himself to be shackled, and was escorted, along with his slave, to the Guardhouse. They stood trial before Magistrate Finist Escadr, and were summarily sentenced. I swear to the veracity of these statements, and remain a loyal servant of the people of Arangoth." He added his signature, sealed the report, and left it with a functionary for the captain. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
