[Royal Guard] The Arrest of Ver and SilentStar

[db]

Report from Merin Bithsbane Written in Common:


Subject: Ver


As part of my customary duty shift in the nighttime hour, I visit the Black
Dragon Inn to see if there is any trouble that needs to be dealt with.  It
had been unusually quiet for the last few weeks in the times that I found
the time to make it to the Inn.

Unfortunately, last night I discovered a man accosting three individuals,
apparently one of them being the leader of the other two and a warlock at
that.  [Describes Karandor.]  His accomplices apparently had a disagreement
with a fourth individual.  [Describes Ver pre-mutation.]  I did not get his
name before he began attacking one of the warlock's apparent servants.
[Describes Angelica.]  I warned the three off from breaking any laws and was
insulted by the warlock for my trouble.  Almost immediately, he fled the
scene and took his accomplices with him through the use of shadow magic.  I
suggest that we keep an eye out for this warlock as he smells of darkness.

But not before the creature in Cell 19b was changed by something in the
sword of a woman.  [Describes mutation of the creature into something black
mutation running along its side.]  The thing attempted to flee the scene, so
I warned it that flight would prove futile.  It was very insistent upon the
attempt, so I cast a spell to hold it in place through the manipulation of
magic.  Apparently, it further mutated the creature into some kind of
half-demon abomination.  [Describes Ver now.]  This is not a reaction I had
ever seen in an individual exposed to my magic before and I do not believe
it was possible for me to have anticipated it.  I did, however, warn it not
to flee or resist.  

It should be noted that the creature did not resist my attempts to arrest it
after the second attempt to subdue it and furthermore went unchained to the
Guardhouse.  I imprison it until such time as a trial can discern its guilt.

Subject: SilentStar

As I was arresting the mutant, I encountered another individual that had
previously been inert.  Apparently, magic or perhaps it was the insults of
the warlock, had caused a violent reaction in the man.  He had not spoken
one word to me previously, but after attempting to subdue the mutated
creature with a sleep spell, I found that I had a crazed man running at me.
Such violent reaction to something, even if my magic or the warlock's, led
me to forego the use of further magic in lieu of a more practical approach.
I knocked the man unconscious through the use of physical force, but not
before he spouted several words of criticism against my race and against my
power.  Due to the attack of a Royal Guardsman, I have assigned him to Cell
11d and ensured it will nullify any nearby magic.  It is my hope that this
will contain the threat this individual poses to others until such time as a
trial can discern what should be done with him.

So ends the report of Guardsman Bithsbane.
