Nilo, a bloodthirsty hobbit, attacked me below the tavern today because he claims I was hired to murder Kirtar at night. This isn't so. I hate baseless assumptions...

He has zero proof of this besides a conversation with a friend. He encountered me below the tavern, as mentioned, and hit me with magic. I warned him several times not to scream my name, tell my location, etc. several times, but he continued anyway. Therefore, I was forced to silence him...this was an act in complete defense, mind you. He continues to threaten me, and is probably out to ruin my name. I can't allow somebody to degrade it, as it's already hurt enough.

Citizens of Trollsbane, you're probably wondering; "Well if you can perfectly defend yourself, why are you whining to us?" First, I can defend myself fine; but only in hand to hand combat. Due to my low essence and inexperience with magical fights, I can't take punishment from an ice bolt very well. Second, I'm only trying to protect my name before the blood drinker provokes mobs to come after me...

I'll keep a low profile for a few days. Thank you for lending me your eyes.

Nilo reads this and is furious with anger.

You liar! I didnt do half of that! This is outrageious!

I never threatened you once! and, im not the one who is going around assasinating people! I have proof! i have witnesses, that you killed me! Is it so wrong to call somone by his name? I mean....whats your name for if i cant call you that?! I cant believe you think im bloodthirsty! i have no use for blood! You are a liar, and a killer, and you will be stopped by many. Another thing, you are such a "wimp" that you had to get the people of town to help you?! im not even stalking you! You arent even the one who died! Is killing somone just because he said your name okay? if so, i think i should be leaving this island very soon!

And another thing, I didnt just, attack you. I came up to you and asked you why you attacked him. And you said i had no proof, and ran like a coward. So i then paralyzed you. YOu continued to run, therefor gave me a pretty good clue that you DID kill him, and then you turn around, talk to me a second, and kill me!

I have known Xerake to be quite the just lizardman, he only kills when he is hired for assassination...and if he did so, then perhaps you should seek the person whom employed his services...

I am not lying, Nilo. You however, do lie. You say you never threatened me? Oh, I suppose a little birdy told me "you'll pay for this."

Everybody knows that I killed you in defense, I've already established that. What I'm asking is that you don't attack when you have no proof or evidence of me killing Kirtar. I told you NOT to scream my name, but you continued to do so, screamed that I was a murderer, said I was below the tavern, and I was forced to silence you. Don't tell me different. There's a difference between public slander and simply saying my name.

It doesn't matter how strong a fighter I become. I can easily pound you with my weapons, but that doesn't matter, because all you have to do is paralyze me, throw me into a flame, or keep shooting ice bolts. Even the strongest fighter can lose to a mage, even if the combat skill of the mage is low.

I warned everybody because, knowing you, you will try to kill me on sight and get a bunch of other wankers to join you in your little escapade. If the people of the town don't try to aid me in my defense, it's likely they'll get in the way or turn against me instead. I shouldn't have to be an enemy of the public.

The reason why I ran was so I can get space to shout. Because, as I figured, you would throw spells at me before we had a reasonable chance to argue. I never trust mages, and I'm not about to begin anytime soon...

Don't act like I just said a word to you, then killed you. You provoked me, there are witnesses, indeed.

((I continued to run because, if you're paralyzed, it won't cancel the action that you tried before. It will just get in the way, and if I choose or not, it will still make me run because I did so before I was paralyzed.))

Im just glad that I know your name now thanks to Niniana saying it outloud while I was there.

Ha ha ha Ha ha ha. Thanks Niniana

Oh yeah, and Nilo.................... What exactly happened again? I dont really know Xerake much but then again.........I dont know

Nilo, in any case, guilty or not, you do NOT attack someone just because they run away from you. ((And xerake is right, he was running still because of the movement paused from the paralysis)) You've no basis for assumption and should be ashamed that you would do something so half-witted. It sounds to me like you just wanted a reason to attack someone.

We found Xerake and he wouldnt tell us who hired him. So I gave him some time to think, someone was sniping him and he killed Crosis, so I, along with whoever was sniping him I killed him.
I take no sorrow in killing him. If he kills for money he is no better than a murderer and deserved to die as a murderer would.
There is a suspect for the hobbit who hired him.

That's disgusting, Hermie. You feel no sorrow in killing a person? In taking a LIFE? Even the most dishonourable man feels some sort of remorse when killing someone... The male hobbits I see these days are too quick to judge, and are quite violent, in comparison to those who used to live here...

The lizard when he took my life last night had no sorrow he just came up and killed me... So cain dont talk about Hermie having no Sorrow. He killed me because he was paid.

Hmm...well...Xerake, I did not threaten you. Im not lieing. I dont just throw people in flames...thats not fair for somone. I usualy use ice bolts. Anyhow, just to make somone be quiet is hardly a reason to KILL somone. And, as Cain said that life is important, (at least i think he said that) Killing should be one of the most serious punishments. You, however, take this for granted, killing people weaker than you whenever you can to "defend yourself"....And, I dont think that you were defending yourself. If you really wanted to, you could have easily said something, and gone away. The reason why i paralyzed you when you ran, was because i knew you were guilty. How did I know you were guilty? You forgot, Xerake, that I was there when bumbol woodstock hired you. *grins*
I was there, and Im not blind. And even though you did walk away so i wouldnt hear, Bumbol came back and told me everything. I hadnt talked to Kirtar about this matter, of him being assasinated. Then, today, i saw him....and he said he had been murdered last night in the dark. And, when he said that, i knew it was X. I then asked him if it was Xerake, and he told me that it was, and how i knew. I then said i was there when he was hired....

Cain, I feel very, well, sorry for you that you are siding with an assasin. If you think that Assasins are okay, then why dont you just join them?

Oh, and Xerake, if you dont trust mages, then, does that mean you dont trust hardly anyone? because I must say, I think that a lot of our population are mages. I could name about 50 easily if i wanted to.

Hermie, you, Crosis and Kirtar surrounded me and gave me twenty seconds to tell you my employeer. As a lizard, I am honorable to my job and would follow orders; not telling who my employeer was is included in those orders. Don't try to sound so heroic, it took two snipers to take me down. NONE of you fought me hand to hand. I had to kill off Crosis because, if I ran away, I'm not doubting he would've paralyzed me (something that mages love to do) and thrown me in a flame or thrown ice bolts at me. I apologize to him, for he wasn't included in the job. But I was surrounded, and threatened death, I had to strategize SOMETHING. Mages are my biggest threat; you can't beat them no matter how strong you are, or how good of an escape artist you are. It just takes that one, annoying paralysis spell to keep a constant.

It's nothing personal, it's just my job. An honorable job, if you're a lizardman.

Even more rich! Darlok came to my defense, after Kirtar tried to snipe me out, again, and he was killed by Crosis...THAT is against the law. You can't shoot at somebody and not expect to get killed. So don't act like the both of you are law lovers. You fools have no right to impose your morals! I may live outside of the law, but I heard of chivalry. You find killing for hire bad, I don't. Get over it.

Nilo, "you'll pay for this" is the oldest threat in the book. It wasn't a matter of keeping quiet, again, it was SLANDER. Talking ill of somebody in public and shouting to everybody about it.

It wasn't an 'excuse' for defense. I had magic thrown at me, arrows, bolts, shurikens shot at me, and I was surrounded by three hobbits. If I wanted to, I could've just went around killing everybody that I saw. But I don't, so that proves it was merely defense. You obviously didn't know the situation, for you yourself shot at me when I said something and walked away. Hypocrite.

Are you people stupid? 'X' is a fairy I tell ya! He isn't me!

No, I don't trust many. By the way, I think the ratio of druids to mages are about 50:50 from what I see...

What's wrong with Cain siding with me? He doesn't like killing, and he surely wouldn't become an assassin, but he's openminded enough to see that it's my job, and I shouldn't be considered scum because of my choice of occupation.

So in total, it took 3-4 hobbits to seek 'justice' from me. Rich, bloody damn rich.

I never asked your opinion, Nilo. But since you seem to be so willing to give it, I, too, shall share mine. I find much more acceptable to agree with someone who kills for a living rather than some tiny, big-headed, vicious halfling who kills in the name of justice. You kill not for justice, but for the hell of it and merely USE the name of justice to cover it.

Perhaps my emotions have been rather misplaced recently, though what I meant was that I felt justified in killing Xerake for taking the lives of Kirtar and Crosis.
