Dear Agent Sigarna,

Here is the written account of the interaction between myself and Private Jovua this cycle.

While walking from the Last Stand to the marketplace, the private stopped me and asked me to put away my walking staff. Initially I thought he was in jest. He had just stopped another citizen for carrying a drawn blade, and I thought it was some sort of crude attempt at humour, not least because my walking staff is taller than I am. I replied light heartedly that perhaps he had a saw, so I might cut it in three and stuff it in a pack. But the private was serious, and suggested I tie it to my back with string.

I tried to explain to him that given I am a little over five and a quarter feet in height, and my walking staff would be easily six foot, that this would be make it difficult for me to even move. The impracticality of walking with a stick longer than me tied onto my back, a stick ironically carried with the intent to aid me walk, seemed lost on this private. He said that the issue of where to put the staff was my problem, and then promptly arrested me for disobeying a watchman.

He drew two small swords or knives and pointed them at me in the watch cell, and gave me a complete search. He took a variety of my items, including an associate robe, a Pyrimo Inn key and my citizen stone. He was persistently rude, and seemed incapable of understanding anything I said to him. I repeated asked for the Sheriff, a senior guard or a Spellguard agent to attend, but to no avail. He accused me of thraldom and endangering the city. I complied with each of his unreasonable requests as best I was able. He seemed irrational and temperamental during our discourse.

Eventually he let me depart, my staff still in my hands, but none of my possessions returned. To date I have had not further contact with the private.

Regards, Jacia Lyonaley, The Last Stand.
