Entry #115 -Two Tales

(G115 23/04/11 BG - AP, ON(GM), GF) Sat

Raya took off and managed to escape from the watchmen anyway, which was probably for the best although later she did go back to the OJB but was chased off by ghosts. She then went to an Inn and slept there.

Before that though, Nes was terrified by the ghosts and ran for it, right past me and the other two watchmen as it happened and myself and Civlilar Peterson tackled him long enough for the effects to wear off.

I then quickly got him to check over the unconcious woman at our feet. Peterson seemed to accept my side of the story, more or less, and we tied her up and gagged her - just incase she had any suicide teeth in her mouth.

We marched her off to the Castle Ward guard post and myself, Nes and Peterson began to talk to her. She gave her name as Miranda, but that was different from the name she had given at the Rat Catcher's Guild (Lilyana).

We had her bang to rights, but she gave every indication of being a tough nut to crack.

Even though she spat on me I was delighted to have her. Since Araloor this is the first one we've had in the bag.

And while those two things were going on, Fenrir was at the OJB for a while and talked to Amar Scmitz, one of Peterson's men and even came to the guard post to give a statement about how Powleck came to be dead in our doorway. I didn't see him though.

This is what I said to Peterson:

'Hi Civilar Peterson, just to fill you in with my situation then. Twenty three days ago me and my friends were walking along the Street of Tusks when we saw someone running along, his or her features changing all the time. I was a watchman then, but off duty.

Some of the Trade Ward watch were there taking statements and I reported the incident to my guard post Civilar back in Dock Ward.

The next day, out of curiosity, we went up to where it happened and found out that four people had been murdered there, in a tenement on Snail Street. They were the family McNastay.

Well, over the next few days we learned that there was to be no official Trade Ward watch investigation so, since I was doing a lot of pro bono work back then I thought I'd do a bit of detective work.

Ten days ago the trail let to the door of Araloor the elf in the Temple of Good Cheer. Myself and a fellow off duty watchman called Janna tracked him there, then later me and my friends caught him and interrogated him.

He had a diary that implicated him not only in the death of the four McNasteys but in the disappearance of four Trades Ward watchmen called Adon Hail, Fat Pat, Wulfgar and Olissar.

Just as we were getting somewhere with him he bit down on a poison tooth and died.

The diary though, had information on a 'Mystery Group' of shapeshifters and dopplegangers that used to operate out of the Plague Hills, but after battling another gang there are now in the city.

Six days ago, a man that looked like me murdered a Barbarian outside the Bloody Fist, dock wards in broad day light. I was pulled into the watch house but a Zone of Truth spell proved me innocent.

We suspected that this was the Mystery Group trying to cause a fight between the Bull Elks and the Dock Ward City Watch.

Two days ago the Rat Catcher's guild where my friend Nes was, was attacked by this woman and another man who is now dead at the brewery. They also attacked Fenrir's house where I was, but we killed a doppleganger and another man called Thomas Siohcen. The Trade Ward watch know about this incident, it was Civilar Sefal Turek and Amar Doma Steelaxe that dealt with it.
