Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 18:16:11 -0700 Subject: [Royal Guard] Arrest Under False Pretenses Message-ID: 1.IX.479 At the time of the Fifth Descending Bell I was returning to the Guardhouse to turn in my uniform for the night, my patrol concluded. I heard the sound of an approaching coach. By the time I had turned around, Elapidae had been thrown from the vehicle. She sustained several injuries, including the severance of three snake heads, a Menxrukian sigil burned into her wrist, two broken arms, and a stab wound to the lower back. Elapidae had been approached by a woman claiming to be a member of the Border Watch <>. The woman had placed Elapidae under arrest and taken her into the coach, where it is assumed Elapidae sustained her injuries. The cloth used to knock her unconscious and the knife used to stab her have been placed in safe keeping in the Guardhouse. The suspect, while arresting Elapidae, got the help of one Arms-Recruit Kelaria Stormwave to restrain one of Elapidae's companions, Urs Medved <>. Arms-Recruit Stormwave failed to get a name of the supposed arresting officer. Arms-Recruit Stormwave also failed to ask for any form of identification, warrant, or other certification, which could have prevented the false arrest from happening. I have instructed Arms-Recruit Stormwave to submit a full report as well as the dictation for Elapidae's report, as Elapidae cannot yet write.

Upon entering I observed a woman who, for all intents and purposes appeared to be a member of the Border Watch. (A full description of Lima Liehr follows). At the time Tespin Elapidae was neither struggling nor voicing any form of argument. It was requested that I keep her companion (a full description of Urs Medved follows) at the inn to reduce the risk of an outbreak. I did not restrain him, only made a polite request that the "Border Watch" be allowed to complete her job. The woman did present a warrant, though I, myself, did not see it, charging, but Tespin Elapidae's companion had knowledge of the charges, however fraudulent. By his word the Tespin was being charged with: larceny, smuggling of dangerous goods from a foreign kingdom, and conspiracy. I admit that I erred and I stand to take responsibility for Tespin Elapidae's injuries. In my desire to keep the peace I failed to do just that. I do but request that any forthcoming disciplinary actions wait until after the apprehension of the persons responsible for this attack. Upon a later conversation with Lieutenant Sarault she expressed concerns that the actions taken against Tespin Elapidae might have been out of retaliation for the Tespin bringing a prominent member of the Menxrukian cult to justice, resulting in exile of the person, I am inclined to agree with that concern. Tespin Elapidae is still learning to speak our language, as well and read and write it, currently she cannot write at all and read only a little. As such, I took her verbal report and am recording it here. Unfortunately she recalls very little of the attack. She claims that she blacked out prior to the attack, but that she smelled very strong, "bad chemicals" shortly before. It is my belief that her attackers used ether to subdue her and prevent the tespin from resisting or using her stone gaze on them. Like myself, she would recognize the woman's scent, but not much else other than that. I arranged for a healer to tend to her wounds and as of the submission of this report she is resting comfortably at the Guardhouse until she has recovered enough to make the trip home.

I was tended to by a healers at the inn, three healers outside the inn and another lot of four bloody other healers at the Wharf Garrison, and although they have cleared the wounds and toxins the demon left, the infection still needs to recover naturally. In other words, I have a bucket beside my straw bedding that is full of interesting and colourful things, and will be until my stomach decides to stop bringing back all the not-so-wonderful things the healers keep force-feeding me. I'll endeavour to have a report to you on this incident when I can write more than a few sentences neatly.

Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2009 20:01:37 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Royal Guard] Investigation into a residence fire/explosion Message-ID: <129935.5656.qm@web58808.mail.re1.yahoo.com> Following up on a lead into the case of a reported house having caught on fire and exploded in the Wharf district, I managed to locate the identified home-owner, known as Isaacs (description follows).? When I pulled him aside to interview him over the matter, he appeared to be extremely stand-offish.? I had to threaten legal action numerous times just to get a statement out of him. >From reports, the home he was staying at evidently caught on fire several weeks ago, then culminated in a large explosion that caused reasonable damage to surrounding properties as well as inflicting injury amongst neighboring residents. Isaacs noted that he was not the home owner and that the residence belonged to a young boy who'd gone missing for over a year.? He did acknowledge that he'd been staying there without elaborating on his connection to the boy or why he assumed sudden ownership after his disappearance.? Isaacs was also unable to provide any information regarding who might want to set his residence ablaze and was not present at the time that it happened. Upon visiting the ruins of the home, I failed to find anything that could be submitted as evidence in the case.? However, I did interview several of his neighbors to discover unanimous accounts that he'd been reclusive and anti-social within the community.? It was also noted that he often brought numerous women home, suspected of being prostitutes.? One boy even claimed that Isaacs was well rumored to have been a mass murderer of children and ate their remains. There is no evident explanation of why the residence exploded as a result of the fire. While the investigation is on-going, all members of the Royal Guard on duty in either the BlkDragon District or Wharf District are advised to keep a watchful eye on this individual.? If present, be cognizant for remarks made about alchemy or acquiring odd substances and mixtures.? The explosion at his residence may have been caused by such materials.? It is also very possible he may have murdered the child who previously lived in the dwelling, though bones or human remains were not found amongst the ashes.? He has already been reprimanded for use of unreasonable force against a young, female thief who attempted to take his food.? If he is identified harassing children, talking with younger males or females, it should be noted to your superiors, either a Sergeant or Lieutenant. It is also advised not to make case-related arrests unless he is clearly committing a crime.

Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:45:24 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Royal Guard] Guard targeted again by Menxruk cultist Message-ID: <828694.73348.qm@web58804.mail.re1.yahoo.com> On the night of [09/25/09], I was at the Black Dragon Inn while off duty to meet with someone.? It was during my time of leisure that an individual [description of Aladar] suddenly stood about and began to recite religious diatribe about Menxruk. Initially I became rather alarmed by the outburst, but offered the benefit of the doubt until an explosive, alchemical device was hurled at my table.? The device impacted and caused a subsequent explosion that caused much localized injury to myself and to other patrons within proximity of the table I was seated at.? It appeared that the cultist targeted me, likely for my involvement with government or for case-related purposes in investigating the recent Menxruk-related incidents. Upon sustaining my own injuries incurred from the explosion, I struggled to make my way out, with the aid of others, to include the Medusa recently maimed by a Menxrukian follower.? It was outside that I retrieved a crossbow and entered back into the Inn with the help of Elapidae to attempt and quell the individual who was responsible for the mayhem.? Fortunately, that job had already been performed by Heldenbrand, who had cultist at knife-point by the time I returned. As such, I attempted to question the individual briefly about his affiliations with specific groups and cells that were active in Drache.? He failed to respond and I felt myself on the brink of consciousness so I postponed my questioning and had Elapidae assist in detaining the individual to be taken to the Guardhouse from there. In writing this report, it should be noted that in the past five months, this is the second attack involving Menxruk-associated attacks on members of the Royal Guard with alchemical devices.? The first was exacted on Armsman Lathos, of which the details can be found in his report from [06/09/09].? It is believed that there may be a dangerous trend emerging from these incidents.? A concerning trend of increased activity amongst Menxrukian cultists. Increased vigilance is advised to all members of the Guard over the next few months.? Signs or spoken word regarding dedication to Menxruk should be questioned immediately. As of this report, [Aladar] is being charged with attempted murder of a Crown official, assault on citizen (manslaughter), and public endangerment.? He will be questioned at a later date regarding this incident and his own personal affiliations.
