Good dark, Agent.
I have found more information on the attack in the mines, and wrote a report.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this and show the council how the Spellguard and Watch should be working together.
Please find my report enclosed:
Report: Three people in the town spoke of a lizard like creature attacking travellers in the mines. Myself, Agent Blake and two adventurers from Sanctuary, one who was involved in the attack made a sweep of the mines, but found nothing. Ordinant Kepler Szul was asked to come in for questioning on this attack, as he was involved.I asked the Ordinant to recount the events: The Ordinant and 5 others entered the mines with the intention of investigating some Urdlenites that have been reported to be making a nuisance of themselves.
As the Ordinant and Frank Dedrich entered the mines, they found the others talking of something wielding a polearm that attacked them, and laid traps.
The first impression the group has was that it was a goblin scout causing trouble for them.
As the group entered the trapdoors that lead deeper into the mines, Kepler Szul was attacked by what he described as a small lizard man, wielding a spear. During this attack, where the man Gin Jambo was with him, the lizard man spoke, showing intelligence. It also used magic to shield itself and wielded a spear.
Kepler and Gin gave chase, but the lizard man ran off at unbelievable speed and drank a potion; thought to be invisibility. At this point, Kepler and Gin were separated from the rest of the group, as they had gone further into the mines.
When they caught up to their group they found one of them, a hin name Mero, unconscious on the floor with his pack stripped of belongings.
Frank Dedrich went after the lizard man. It then started to skirmish with the whole party, using hit and run style tactics and using things like Tanglefoot Bags and Stinkbombs. It was chased all over the mines but to no avail.
The creature was reported to have seen Kepler, while he was hiding, which shows it to have very good observational skills and also is intelligent. Managed to outwit a whole party of adventurers, one being an Ordinant and the other the headmaster of the school of war.
The description of this lizard like creature; about 4-5 foot tall, scaly, carrying a spear leads me to believe it is a Troglodyte.
I have been informed during the fighting, the creature said the following things: - "Die you human scum." - "All slaves must die."
Thankfully, the creature did not kill any of the party, but is to be considered dangerous.
Witnesses: Frank Dedrich, Gin Jambo, Mero, human trapper (name unknown), Kepler Szul, Dutch Addmas.
Note: I cannot help thinking that this may be related to the report I received yesterday of the double murder in lower. This needs to be investigated further.
