[letter sent to the Tigereyes, the Spellguard and the Watch]

[this report has been sent to the Tigereye Mercenaries, the Spellguard and the Watch]

    I, Ambrose Crownguard, wish to make report of something that took place in lower Sanctuary on this day, the 8th of Uktar, involving the negligence of duty and misconduct of a Tigereye mercenary and the crimes of a cyricist.

    As my associate and I were passing by the Pissing Crone, a man unknown to us approached. While giving praise to Cyric, the deceptive god of murder, he assaulted us with an arcane spell which we were able to withstand the effects of. I gave chase to the criminal as he tried to get away and was able to halt his escape by striking him in the head with the blunt side of my sword. The next moment I found myself being incapacitated by one of the mercenaries of the Tigereyes who had witnessed the assault. He defended the cyricist criminal, saying that his crimes "weren't such a big deal” and that the pain the criminal suffered as I incapacitated him was punishment enough. Being in lower Sanctuary and not being an officer of the law myself I had little choice but to accept his judgement and be on my way.

    Clearly this was negligence of duty as two rules of Sanctuary were broken; an unprovoked attack was made on two citizens of Sanctuary and magic was used in an unwarded area. The mercenary stated that his name was “Patrick”, and referred to the criminal as “Crazy Andy”, who was hooded and clad in blue and beige clothing, then later seen in pink clothing outside the town hall.

    About half an hour after the first incident had taken place, as we again passed through the streets of lower Sanctuary, I heard and felt something apparently cloaked by magic brush past me in a hurry headed for the mercenary called Patrick. The invisible man was revealed to be “Crazy Andy” as he attacked Patrick with his weapon, knocking him down on the ground. Upon seeing this I came to the aid of the mercenary, again seeking to prevent the criminal's attempt to escape as the mercenary was unable to do so himself. As I did this, the mercenary got back on his feet and once again sought to incapacitate me. I withstood the attempt and questioned his actions, then was told that they were merely “fooling around”, playing games with eachothers or somesuch.

    This is unacceptable and unprofessional conduct for a hired guardsman of the city - the Tigereyes should not be allowed to bend and ignore the rules of Sanctuary as it suits them. I would like to see this cyricist criminal apprehended and made responsible for his crimes.

    It should be noted that I did not seek to take justice into my own hands, but merely to incapacitate the criminal until the mercenary would have been able to apprehend him, as is his duty and what he is paid to do.

    Sincerely, Ambrose Crownguard Paladin of the Society of the Ordered Mind

Dear Ambrose,

Your attempts to incapacitate were done with a six foot long blade, a lethal instrument. Andy is a mentaly scarred individual that needs quite a bit of extra care from certain Tigereyes. I feel that my fellow Tigereye Patrick, who knows the specific needs of Andy acted justly in stopping you from inflicting further harm on this poor man. I ask you, where are the wounds that where left by Andy? Were they as deep, as brusing as the one's that you dealt?

If you feel that we need to speak further, you may contact me and I will come to the Society Chapterhouse. We've no reason to squabble and I urge you to treat this incident diplomatically before making accusations that you don't fully understand.

    Mr. Ambrose,

    it would be appreciated if members of the Society could refrain from inciting the mentally challenged part of our population into brawls and such. Isn't it enough for the Society to run outside of the city taunting every band of monster they find into battle and risking the safety of Sanctuary but must you start doing it within Sanctuary itself as well? As to whatever relations there are between the Tigereye and this Andy, I'm sure the Tigereyes have the situation under control and will handle the matter.

    Terio Menthur,

    A lethal instrument it may be if used with intent to kill, though as a trained swordsman I used it in such a way that would only incapacitate the man, striking him with the blunt side of the sword as to halt his escape. He had fully recovered shortly thereafter. As he was able to speak for himself, and did so incessantly rarely allowing himself to breathe between the insults, I did not have reason to question the sanity of his mind, only the wickedness of it.

    If he indeed suffers from such an affliction it is unfortunate, but by no means a valid reason for the law not to apply to him – not as long as he is allowed to walk the streets without someone to keep him in check. Will the next person he assaults with his magic be able to withstand it, or fend for himself if attacked?

    It shant be necessary to speak further of this – not unless more chaos is caused by this man. Take measures to prevent this from happening again and I shall not pursue this matter further.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely, Ambrose Crownguard Paladin of the Society of the Ordered Mind
