Commander Simms,
I your humble servant, Stygian Achnuman, write to you with a grave concern. I have recently been falsely imprisoned by one of your operatives, beat down, had my money taken from me under the pretense of “collected fines”, and have had items taken from me for no other purpose than personal gain. The operative in question goes by the name of Michael De La Rey.
Operative De La Rey accused me of using magic in Sanctuary when he saw a familiar in my presence. He did not see any casting take place. He had no witness stating the casting took place. He certainly had no admission from me, because it did not take place. The casting took place in a building outside of Sanctuary prior to entering combat with Earth Elementals. Operative De La Rey placed me under arrest and took me to jail where he commenced to treat me in a manner unbecoming an operative of the Spellguard, demanding gold coins to pay his so-called “fine.” He asked me to lay face down, and I am assuming for taking advantage of me sexually, which did not occur. ( I caught him sneaking a peek at my butt cheeks on the way to jail.) I stood my ground against this tyrant, verbally boxing with him, when he became physically abusive because he could not defeat me in the realm of words, as any good spellcaster would have strived for. He used magic-missiles to bring me to the point of death, and then went through my pack, taking whatever he desired. This thief now owes me 180gp, several potions, some spider venom, and I beseech, damages in the amount of 180gp.
The honor of the Spellguard was smeared with his actions. That noble order charged with the protection of the citizenry and the maintenance of magical order. I ask that castigation be considered. We cannot hope to escape to the surface, or live in the underdark under those not willing to protect… This is a duty, not a whimsical right....
I would like to see him charged with any crime applicable under Sanctuary Law.
This letter has also been sent to Spellguard Officer Barkley.
I thank you for your time and consideration of my words; I know your wisdom will prevail over injustice,
Your servant,
Stygian Achnuman
