The killing of Cuthbert

On 30th Deeber IM1022 “Cuthbert” was killed by the mercenary Monty. I have been informed by the imperial seers that “Curthbert” was not the name of the fallen mercenary. It may have been the case that this name has been used by mistake. In any event, I will proceed to use the name “Cuthbert” to refer to the victim within my Judgment.

Further, the imperial seers have informed me that Cuthbert has suffered his final death and as such, I have made my judgment without the benefit of a statement from the victim.

I am informed that during a mercenary hire, the group of mercenaries including the accused and the victim, were attempting to break the powers of a demon of dominion. During the hire, Baroness Ritter Erika Von Brehmen informed the group that in 2 minutes a power inciting fury would wash through the building in which they were located.

In response approximately 5 members of the group retreated to what they believed to be a safe distance (some 4-5 rooms back from their original location), but were still within the confines of the building. When the wash of power flooded through the building Monty and Cuthbert were amongst those hit. I do not intend to go into great detail but overcome with the power of fury, Monty struck down Cuthbert and was himself incapacitated afterwards. As a result, Monty has been outlawed by the imperial seers and has surrendered to the authorities seeking clemency.

In previous Judgments I have drawn attention to the fact that mercenary work is dangerous and can sometimes result in unfortunate accidents such as this one.

However, it is also incumbent on the mercenary community to avoid such situations where possible. I accept the evidence of the Baroness Ritter that she had warned the group that the wash of power would flood over the building, Monty and the other mercenaries failed to vacate the building. I also accept Monty’s evidence that the group understood that this was a safe distance. Monty has also accepted that they should have taken additional steps to confirm that this was the case.

Although this death was an accident, it is my Judgment that Monty should have taken additional steps which would have prevented Cuthbert’s death.

As such, it is my judgment that upon payment of a fine of 2,000 grulls, Monty shall be granted clemency. This Judgment has been ratified by the Magistrate General.

I would like to thank all those who provided me with their statements in this matter.

Dear Monty,

Apologies for the delay in dealing with this matter, I was somewhat pre-occupied with other duties over the Dawn.

I will look into your account and will contact you privately with further questions.

In the meantime, I would be grateful if Cuthbert could also contact me privately providing their account of the situation. If Cuthbert does not contact me within the next 7 days I will assume that they do not wish to provide an account.

I have seen the public accounts provided and will contact individuals if I require further information.

In Loyalty,

Willoughby Chase

Excellent Work Rudy,

I was present when the altar in Gillenum was first consecrated and the City Spirit empowered. It is sad to see that the city has fallen so far. I will gladly give any aid that might be required.

I've just heard the truly awful news and would like to add my condolences at this difficult time.

I have many great memories of Paul. He was one of the first friends I made after returning to the caves more than a decade ago. He will be greatly missed.

IIRC the Psi-Scout skills are:

Auric Colour
Detect Possible Neuronic Activity
Neuronic Penetration
Neuro Balance
Neurocosmic Flare
Neuro Mastery
Neurosynaptic Jump
Neuroplanar Vortex

Not necessarily in that order though. Basically they got one psionic skill per level and all innates were @will.

Hope this helps,

Matt

It has recently come to my attention that an incursion has occurred in the City of Halgar. I have received the following report from the City Kallah:

“On Starsday last week on the stroke of midnight four grey and shadowy demons appeared across the city of Halgar. These demons slipped into the darkest parts of shadows in the lean-to side of the buildings. They did not go unnoticed to the City Spirit of Halgar and silent alarms were triggered in the Throne room of the Empire as well of this intrusion into the City.

“The Kallah were the first to be directed by the City Spirit to be the eyes of the city, as these demons seemed very alien to it, it had never encountered this kind of creatures in its history. As the Kallah closed in on the demons ready to serve their city they caught a disappearance out of existence of these demons and with a popping sound of a vacuum there appeared in their place a perfectly shaped rectangular portal that was three meters high and two meters wide.

Where one minute ago there was a demon only a portal remained that was as dark as ebony. It seemed these portals positioned were chosen to give those that came out the greatest cover in darkness and to be out of sight. The cities four sectors were divided into a quarter and a portal appeared in each quarter of the city one in the North, East, South and West.

After a few minutes the portals seemed to stabilise and a few shadowy figures slipped out armed with a staff in one hand and either a sword or a mace in the other. they seemed to be dressed in flowing black robes streaked with another colouration that could not be made out in the dark of the night. Their arrival heralded a stench of ichor and blood and Iron. The Kallah that were monitoring them watched and did not approach as they were guided by the city spirit to just watch and do nothing else.

The robed figures focused on the portal and moved their staffs in a circular motion and then turned into a figure 8. The head of a horse protrude from the Portals it but this was no horse this was a thing of Nightmares its nostrils flared with fire it was a beast of the hell that was summoned to carry its master at the speed of shadows and could travel across the world in ethereal forms, apart from its nostril it was jet black to sight.

The four figures called their demonic mounts to them and with one swift motion where on the backs of them and with the snap of their staff they disappeared into the night, they streaked in four directions, North, East, West and South.

The City Spirit could see the demons that were the portals coalesce back into existences and take their shape again. The demon left this world the way they came in from this world with a pop of vacuum.

As they disappeared the city spirit sent a little spirit to the demon of the north and it stayed with it as it travelled back to its home plane, the city spirit wanted it came from”

This incursion is extremely distressing. I would like to hire you to investigate this incursion, prevent any further from occurring and present your findings to the City Council. I will of course pay the standard rate of mercenary hires.

Magical Mystery Tour, without a shadow of a doubt...it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Which reminds me, I'm down tomorrow...so if someone wants a pre-dungeon trip, let me know.

Thanks to all involved. Sorry I had to abandon and head home. Unfortunately I had a gall stone attack and I had hoped to ride it out and return. After about an hour I bit the bullet and went home to try and get some pain relief. It lasted 4 1/2 hours in the end so heading home was probably the right idea. Glad you all had fun though!

Kase,

My Valdschwart has included a werewolf for many years, it isn't necessarily an infection that requires cleansing. It is a form that can be controlled (within limits) and I would counsel you to listen to the desires of such a form and the anger that rages within.

The mercenary known as Sirac Drakeson has recently made an admission to me, in my capacity as an imperial magistrate, that he has on
numerous occasions provided aid to the Wolfshead known as Radah. Most recently he provided such aid to Radah in the defence of the citizens of
Halgar. Although Sirac admitted to helping Radah on numerous occasions I have confined my investigation to this one incident as I do not have
details on any other incident and am unaware as to whether these would fall within my jurisdiction.

In carrying out my duty I have been compelled to investigate this matter in order to determine whether or not a crime has been committed by
Sirac and if so, what punishment is required as a result.

Having looked at the list of felonies within the Empire the only relevant matter seems to be the crime of “Abetting a Wolfshead”. My
understanding of the term “Abetting” is to mean assisting or encouraging a person to commit a crime or engage in wrongdoing. Accordingly, I
cannot see that providing assistance or aid to a Wolfshead is currently a criminal offence unless by doing so this is facilitating or encouraging
criminal activity or wrongdoing. Aid given by Sirac in the Defence of Halgar clearly does not amount to wrongdoing or criminal activity.

Accordingly, it is my Judgment that no crime has been committed and no punishment is therefore required.

This Judgment has been ratified by the Covenant.

Dear Sushi Panama,

Whilst I am not generally minded to make any apology when engaged on Covenant business I can see that in my initial dealings with Lord Neko I wrongfully addressed the Warlord of Amlas as Neko Panama, not being aware that her affiliation with the Panama clan had come to an end. In this particular set of circumstances I can see that my previous statement was incorrect and I would be happy to make amends to account for my error.

Accordingly, I offer my sincere apologies to the Panama Clan for involving their name in this legal issue. It was not my intention to cause offence and I hope that my apology is accepted.

To be clear, this is not a court of public opinion. The killing occurred within the lands of Halgar which falls within my jurisdiction.

In any event, after having corresponded with Lord Neko, Warlord of Amlas, I have not received any request for clemency from Lord Neko. Accordingly, this matter has come to an end and is now closed. The Judgment of the Imperial Seers stands.

Lord Neko,

I was not aware that you had cut your ties with the Panama clan, thank you for updating me. I will correspond with you privately, although I would like to make it clear that I have not declared you wolfshead (previously known as outlawed), this decision was made by the imperial seers.

I have recently received a report that Neko Panama killed Sonasello of the Circle within the lands of rural Halgar.

Unusually, Sonasello has requested Clemency on behalf of Neko Panama. To the best of my knowledge Neko Panama has not yet sought clemency
herself and she is currently considered outlawed by the Judgment of the imperial seers. Given the seriousness of the crime and given that Neko herself has not yet sought clemency I am not currently minded to investigate further.

Should Neko Panama wish to seek clemency I would ask that she contact me and I will of course open an investigation. Should Neko wish to seek
clemency I would also ask that she surrender herself to Imperial Custody pending an investigation and decision. Neko's decision as to whether she
will submit to custody will be taken into account in any subsequent Judgment made.

Accordingly, Neko Panama will continue to be considered outlawed.

Members of the Nobility and wider Mercenary Community,

As my brother Gideon is currently indisposed it is my honour to offer congratulations to Kraken, who has recently received the title "Squire of Greenshield".

As dictated by the Great Freedom, the position of Regnant affords a great deal of power but also relies on those with that power to do their duty to their Parvus.

The Great Freedom reads:

"Should they need help, their Regnant will answer their plea,
And in return their Parvus will support them in their endevour."

I have heard much of the good work done by Kraken in defence of the Empire and it's people. Those who know my family know that we have lived and died by
our sense of duty and we take our responsibility very seriously so much so that we have returned from our graves to see our duty done. As such it is a sign
of trust and confidence by which we welcome Kraken and extend the hand of friendship to him. We have asked Kraken to vassal himself to our great house and
he has graciously accepted. I know that his future actions will only bring great honour not only to his own name and title but also to the name of House
Athanyn.

Further, as a vassal to our house Kraken is now also a member of the 11th imperial legion, the Shield of Glorianave, as such I am sure that member of
the Bastion will also like to welcome him.

I hope that the rest of the community will join me in welcoming Kraken to the halls of nobility.

Remus Athanyn

Sorry for the delay, huge thanks from me as well for a thoroughly enjoyable day.

It was a really interesting plot with engaging and challenging encounters. It's been a while since I genuinely wasn't sure if we'd be able to finish the dungeon without also feeling completely overwhelmed.

Anyway, thanks again!

Radah, I really can't thank you enough. I would be grateful if you would pass them direct to Myrion as I'm not sure when I'll next be available. I'll also refund as much as I can when I get paid for my recent hire.

MMy eternal thanks,

Father Picton

OOC: Thanks, would you mind leaving them in an envelope for Callum or passing them to him direct if he's down? I'm not sure when I'm next down and have to pay within a month. Thanks again!

Thank you for your Judgment Waldgraf Thor, I'll try and get a loan from someone and I'll pay up as soon as possible.

On a separate note I'll happily give the Accords a read for future reference, could you point me in the right direction though? (OOC: I couldn't see them in the wiki, are they in an almanac or something?)

Many thanks,
