Please forgive this reports tardiness, but I am still awaiting the accounts of the witnesses I have contacted.
Regarding the first attack of Frelt:
I was working with Frelt and a Hin Priest (name escapes me), investigating a rat infested home for a woman named Mary. Stepping in, we were overwelmed by the press of rodents, and we were forced back out. Several rodents pressed out the door before we were able to secure it, and the rodents were dispatched by us as a crowd gathered.
We returned to house and completed our investigation there. After as Frelt spoke with Mary to collect our fee, TigerEye guard Namli began berating us for disturbing the peace (creating more havok than we had, to be sure). He demanded payment or he would drag us all to the hold. Frelt handed him a bag of coin. We protested that nobody was harmed in the incident, and at some point, Namli swung the butt of his Axe at Frelt, who responded by shoving the guard back. Namli then attacked in earnest, Frelt caused disorientation in Namli, and we cleared out of the area to avoid more extortion.
Regarding the attack of Associate de la Rey:
I walked down the stairs from Upper to Lower Sanctuary. As I rounded the stairs, I observed the Tigereye Namli swinging his axe viciously in the air, growling threats and insults.
Having already had difficulties with him, I carefully aproached, keeping to the shadows, drawing close in time to see a blow connect with the concealed (magically I assume) form of Associate de la Rey, who fell, appearantly lifeless to the ground at that point.
I quickly made my way around, prefering not to draw the attention of the beligerant guard. I saw nobody who I could identify present, but later found others could supply details of earlier portions of the incident. I will see you receive their accounts as soon as I get them.
Regarding the second assault of Frelt:
I was returning from a job with those who I met with after the preceeding incident, investigating the sewers on behalf of the Tigereye's Captain. I found Frelt in the Tigereye base with Namli.
My party was then detained, the door locked so that we could not escape. They were allowed to leave with a threat of sharing my fate otherwise.
Frelt then protested my innocence as Namli accused me of attacking him. A Tigereye identified as Patrick was called in, and they both beat Frelt near to death, repeatedly. at one point, they rummaged his near lifeless corpse for coin and property. While wanting to aid Frelt, I was aware of the odds, and by doing so I would be guilty of what I was accused, after the fact.
Then they demanded 200 coin from me for my part in the first attack (a witness fine, effectively). I was unable and unwilling to comply, and in a moment of distaction, was able to evade them in their own base, and hide until some time later [OOC: I had to log for non-negotiable RL reasons I had warned of earlier in the episode].
Follow up: Since then, I have resolved the debt with Namli, to spare myself the agony of continued incidents, and to allow the Tigereye's to maintain their deathgrip on the populace of Lower Sanctuary to insure order. It was done only for the best interest of Sanctuary, and not as an admission of guilt. If and when this terror is dealt with, compensation for the 200 coin fine would be appreciated.
I swear to the truth of all things herein to the best of my knowledge.
