That's kind of a Concern

Next occasion please have the guard detaining send me a proper dove rather then placing words on public parchment along with the supposed confined persons. This will help get a time together when the trial can be held proper. Mister Keenaxe you seem to only be willing to run on your own time, that tells me the trial iutself isn't all that important to you. This time i'll take things a different route, i'll send you a message containing the time your trial will be held. If you don't manage to show up on time we'll handle your sentencing phase without you and make public the verdict.

I have personally hired two Specialists to assist the Guard. I will probably need to remind everyone that these are personal contracts, they are not hired by the Guard nor the Council nor anyone else but myself. They work for me so I determine what they do and what I want them to do is help the Guard.
Name: Leon Demelii Citizenship: Troll's Bane
Speciality: Advanced Battle Tactics, Alchemy, Quartermaster Salary: Couldn't care less
Expectations: Doing whatever needs to be done.
Terms of Removal of Contract: Whenever the Captain/Council see fit
Other: I'm very handsome.
Guards should get introduced to Leon and go to him for advanced training, gear and maybe potions. Recruits, don't bother with asking him for high-quality gear, you get sparring-quality gear.
Name: Szhizabelle Citizenship: Oceanpearl, out in the ocean
Speciality: Bodyguard, Servant Salary: Two silvers per dwarven week (and equipment provided by the Captain)
Expectations: Learning about the island, the people, the common language and how to fight well
Terms of Removal of Contract: None/Determined by the Captain
Other: Bodyguard/Servant to Captain S'rrt K'shire
Szhizabelle will be my personal servant and a bodyguard. She's completely new to landlife thus she wishes to learn all that she can.

The prison is now in use of the town officials.
The prison has been repurposed to serve as a meeting room for the Council (upstairs) and Guard quarters (dungeon). The ground floor remains empty for future use. I suggest that all guards pay a visit to the ex-prison dungeon and why not upstairs too.

I give my biggest praises to the councilors Uhuru and Oxiana as well as the citizens Evie and Caldarion for providing nearly all of the materials needed for the renovation. Thank you all.

Multiple times-criminal Hew Keenaxe is staying in town until his trial takes place and the citizens are advised to keep their distance and not engage in arguments or taunting with him. The guards will be keeping a close eye on him but if he just so happens to behave badly and breaks a law when a guard is not there, seek one immediately or send me or Leon Demelii a dove about it.

Certain recruits, even guards, should make an attempt to report to me in town so that we may discuss their long absences. If not, at least send a dove explaining yourself. If you fail to do either of those things, or in worst case even if you do them, I won't keep you in the roster for nothing when the dwarven month ends. Don't expect to be paid either.

This is a public notice to notify Hew Keenaxe to report for trial.

He should be escorted to or bring himself to the former Trollsbane jail and a dove sent to me upon his arrival.

A search was conducted for the mute girl Sophie. She is being kept hidden for a ransom by the pirate Aral Canem.
Searches inside and around of Troll's Bane, as well in her supposed location he first told us which turned out to be a lie, provided no results. People who are more familiar with the exotic places such as Goldburg and the dragon's cave are looking there.
There is no time for a thorough search of the island as we have but a couple of days to find her. Aral shall be interrogated again very soon.

Based on the recent interactions with the Ghost, both personal and that of others, I ask that all mages avoid the abuse of magic in Troll's Bane. I'm not saying don't use magic at all but please try to keep it to a minimum. It seems to be that things like rapid summoning, creation of walls and fires when they're not really needed and such things provoke the Ghost into harming the mages and even disable their use of magic altogether. Heed this warning.

Golems have been found in seemingly random places in town, such as the kitchen in the Seahorse Inn, by the east gate and near the north smithy. I ask that citizens be on the lookout for walking piles of stones and call for help immediately upon witnessing one.

I propose that the guard Pierre Francois be promoted to the rank of a Sergeant. He already has one vote from the Council so I ask that either of the other two councilors send me a word if they wish to give their vote too.

This is to inform the town that Sophie has been found and is in the care of the guard at the present moment. We thank all of those who assisted in the search.

On today the 4th of Tanos

Hew Keenaxe has been tried and sentenced to the mandate of forced labor.

1500 brick are to be dug and fired by Mister Keenaxe and delivered officially to myself or a member of council within one dwarven month of this day. If completed then all crimes committed over the past six month period will be considered served.


This labor contract will be void if:

Mister Keenaxe commits a punishable offense before the end of his labor contract.
Mister keenaxe fails to deliver his quota before the end of the time period.
Mister Keenaxe is found to have purchased any portion of his quota.

Violation of these terms will result in harsher penalties equal to one degree higher then the highest offense made by Mister Keenaxe in his formal charges.

The criminal Aral Canem, also known as Farin Mason, had just been sentenced for kidnapping, threat and duress, robbery and killing an unborn child when the ghost engineered his escape from our custody. The town was sweeped immediately afterwards with no results in finding him.
The man is cooperating with a nearly omnipotent being and they both seem to have a plot against mages and the use of magic. Use extreme caution when interacting with this man. Freedom to kill him on sight on Troll's Bane ground is currently being urged and I'm personally going to arrange a bounty for his head later, unrestricted to Troll's Bane. I will make an update on this later on.

Altrix brought in the ciminal known as Aral Canem. Pierre took Aral into custody and chained him into one of the pillories.

It appears there is some confusion over the bounty I mentioned.

I thought I was being very careful about what I said. I didn't put up a bounty, I said I'll be arranging one, meaning I don't have the coin for it yet. In addition, the bounty is not coming from the town, or the Guard, but from me. Again, there won't be such a reward before I say so, even if Aral's head is taken. Anyone who does it before I'm ready to pay it does it for free.. which is preferable.

Attention: I nearly caught the lizard bandit who has been terrorizing people in Troll's Bane, Varshikar and Silverbrand. He is average-sized, wears a black robe and a black shirt and almost certainly has either two poisoned daggers in hands or a poisoned dagger and a simple dagger. Be wary of a lizard matching this description.

The aforementioned bandit lizard has been detained by me and my assistant Szhizabelle and is waiting for punishment. Citizens of Troll's Bane as well as other settlements may drop their worries over this attacking lizard for now.

The bandit lizard has received my permission to be detained inside the town walls instead of the dungeon until his punishment is decided. He is watched closely by the Guard but for now there is no immediate risk of danger with him.

Below is one of the parchments from the board of Grey Refuge. I feel that this matter concerns Troll's Bane as well.
Im Namen der Grauen Rose!
In Zusammenhang eines möglichen Verbrechens - der Vergiftung von Liasany - wird der Mensch 'Rodney' gesucht. Er hatte der Adjutantin der Grauen Rose 'Tee' angeboten, der vergiftet war.
Zuletzt wurde 'Rodney' in Troll's Bane gesehen.
Wer kann uns mehr über ihn sagen? Wer kann uns helfen mit ihm in Kontakt zu treten? Wer kann ihn zur Grauen Zuflucht bringen?
Für die Auslieferung des Menschen Rodneys beziehungsweise für Informationen, welche zur Aufklärung des Vorfalls führen, wird eine Belohnung von 50 Silberstücken angeboten.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In name of the Grey Rose!
In case of a possible crime - Liasany was poisoned - we look for the human Rodney. He offered 'tea' to the adjutant of the Grey Rose, but this tea was poisoned.
Last time Rodney was seen in Troll's Bane.
Who can tell us about this man? Who can help so that we can contact him? Who can bring him to the Grey Refuge Castle?
We offer 50 silvercoins for the delivery of Rodney in the Grey Refufe Castle btw informations that can clarify the happen.
~Lennier
Souvereign of the Grey Refuge
Grandmaster of the Grey Rose~
I advice that the citizens do not take offered drinks from unknown alchemists or herbalists.

As it was probably stated earlier by Drathe, the dark panther who visits the town and the surrounding area is not dangerous. In fact it's very domesticated and playful, a trait which might get viewed as hostility which it is not. Appearing as a direct threat to it might provoke it so it is best we just act naturally and treat it as a pet more than a predator. The Guard will keep an eye on it any time it can.

The recruits Bjar and Isaac have been removed for the Guard due of their inability to cooperate and meet the standards. The recruit Arcatius was removed by his own demand.

I ask that all remaining guards and recruits alike come to me in town whenever possible so that I can remind them of some of the aforementioned standards.

Aral Canem has escaped custody again.

A halfling brought me message from him saying he will "try harder next time" which can only be a sign of worse things. The hobbit clearly didn't know who he was as he had difficulties remembering his name but he did say he met Aral at the Harbor.

Aral might also go by the name of Mason or Farin. He has green eyes, blonde hair, a crooked nose and a broad chin and is likely dressed in a bright cloak.
((http://illarion.org/community/us_charpr ... d=293b156d))
Guards! If you see the man within town borders, bring him to the pillories and lock him there, then contact me and the High Judge Felix Atelhier (("Jude Atelhier" here in forum)) immediately.

~
A troubling message has appeared on the wall of the smithy. As if Aral's escape wasn't enough of a reason for the guards to be more watchful, we have this.. person and his possible wrongdoings to look after:

((http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... 4&p=656487))
Dear, sweet, innocent Bane.
With walls washed white, and hearts stained black,
Illusions of safety, and false security.
The time has come to check the course,
To correct the path,
To break free of all pretense,
To expose your rotten core.
Now is the time for fear.
Now is the time for chaos.
Now is the time for unsettling.
The puppet Master of your false show, am I.
Born of darkness, scourge of light.
The first of five shall fall tonight.
Dear, sweet, innocent Bane,
Are you ready to play my game?
If you go to the smithy wall to see the message, you'll also see a reply from one of our councilors saying they will join this "game". If there is any harm done to the town or its people from this "game", I will hold the "conductor" as well as the "players" responsible for it.

Kyre reads the latest post of the Captain and chuckles shaking her head then mumbling quietly to herself, jumps in the portal. Only someone at the other end could possibly hear her words.
A shame the lack of trust, what is the best way to try to pull a threat away from the town? The Captain needs to learn more tricks.

After some discontent caused by my previous update I feel like I need to clarify something.

My intention was not to show lack of trust to the participating councilor, doubt their loyalty nor question their motives. The intention was to keep the situation up-to-date for the guards, any and I do mean any person replying to the dubious poem thus becoming a participant in the "game" would have earned my mentioning. I cannot assume that the guards will immediately go to the smithy to see the poem and its replies. The said reply isn't exactly a secret either, it's put up next to the most high traffic spot in the town. Anyone can see it. What I don't feel the need to defend however is my warning to those who might provoke the "conductor" by joining the game thus likely spawning a security risk.

The security of the town and its citizens is my top priority. I don't take chances with it, that is why I won't assume there is no harm in the "conductor" getting his participants. Whether there is a lack of trust with me or not, I shall rely on the words of the people who praise my work and smile to those who question it.

~~ Guard Captain S'rrt K'shire

(( btw this wasn't a response to the previous post made by Kyre, I realize she didn't write anything. The "discontent" S'rrt mentions wasn't from her. ))

<A parchment is pinned to the board>

This is to give notice that the man who goes by the name Eldor Fundiun is officially wanted by the Guard of Trollsbane for Assault, Threat & Duress, and Robbery. Any citizens who may come across him please treat with extreme caution. All guards are instructed to apprehend on sight and hold until trial arrangements can be made.

Sophie walks through town, then stops as she passes the town board to look at it quietly. She frowns to herself as she looks over the parchments, before furtively glancing around and ripping the warning about Eldor down. Stuffing it in her pocket, she takes off running down the street to go hide out a while.

The Captain walks up to the board to do his regular check and immediately searches the ground for the parchment that's missing. Since it seems someone took it with them, he pins another one in its place:


Removing critical messages from the Guard board can be considered an offense, specifically Obstruction of Justice. This action has now prompted me to monitor the board in case there's more of this activity.

The removed message regarded the apprehension of Eldor Fundiun for Assault, Threat and Duress as well as Robbery. Guards are to keep him inside the town until his judgment is passed.

~~ Guard Captain S'rrt K'shire


After finishing the message the Captain leaves the board's immediate presence but lingers nearby to keep an eye on it while writing on his writing board and reading over some doved messages. He doesn't do this for too long, just around a dwarven hour but he continues to do this whenever he comes to check the board which is at least twice every day; around noon and in the evening.

I offer myself for the making of training swords and daggers. As long as they are simple crafts I can make them well enough for that, but I do not know if I have enough resources in the long term.

My skill is surely not enough for anything but training gear.
