Putting a bounty on the Murrain?
-
Ballsy of you to mention the Ghosts, Boris.
Clerk Robinson
-
I find it unconscionable that in todays Free Arabel we are faced with such barbarity.
A reminder clerk Robinson, we have to finish that paperwork before next weeks various hangings of anti-revolutionary extremists, can't go kicking out the buckets without a report filed.. A repeat of last month would be unpleasant.

I gave those to your wife to fill out, Steinhauser.
I'll pay her a visit.
Clerk Boris

I have spoken briefly with Hans of the Murrain. Their claim is that their actions are part of the war declared by Eveningstar, in Service of both themselves and of Tilverton. This would make their actions the responsbility of Tilverton.
I leave this for your discussion.
Watcher Amherst.

As much as I would wish to find Tilverton responsible, I doubt the veracity of Hans testimony, I believe this atrocity was of their doing, in service of their dark faith and their own agenda against the free and goodly people of Arabel, I believe the involvement of anyone of Eveningstar unintended, we simply happened to be the one fastest to attempt a rescue off the innocent girl. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

I've given Hans the suggestion that the four should walk into court and make their case there, since it be less messy then chasing them down.
Shall we get a court and summons ready for them after they've thought it over as group before formally setting the hounds on them?

If they wanted to walk into court and turn themselves in, they would of done so already. Whether or not they claim it was an act against Eveningstar doesn't matter. What matters is that they messed up, and an innocent woman is dead, sacrificed with her body cut and sent down the river.
Either they acted alone and should be put on the bounty list as outlaws, or they acted as they claim, in Tilverton's name and the Duke needs to pay. If we sent a missive to the Duke however, I'm willing to wager he'll wash his hands clean of this incident, as he always does when his plans go awry. Which is it? It just sounds like they're fishing for excuses now.
Either way, we've already put the vote up and it's unanimously yes, five to zero votes so far.

What evidence do we have of this supposed lycanthrope in their midst?
His grace has expressed confusion and concern.
- Clerk Jacob

Sadly, the witness and source of this information, Meg the halfling, perished during this incident.
-DawnHammer Argun the Strong

I fought it during the battle.
-Dawnsquire Theron Harcourt

The bounty vote has passed, a list of crimes and names sorted.
Only thing missing is price per head. What are the possibilities in this area?

Rewards are decided upon delivery.

His grace has expressed his doubt toward your testimony.
Do we have a non-involved member to provide witness?
Toussaint?
- Clerk Jacob
-
I would take any testimony provided by this Meg to be false
If she would swear a false oath to a god why should we trust a single word uttered by her mouth?

It should also be noted this Tenebris is a druid, I have worked with the Murrain on many occasions, Hunting criminals such as Sandlord Elzen amongst others.
The only remotely odd thing I have seen is him assume the form of animals such as a bear, Perhaps weird form changing magics practiced by druids?
Such is the most likely thing here

No proof he's a wererat my end. But murder and human sacrafice is murder and human sacrafice. Put the bounty on him as a man, we judge him as a rat if clean cut evidence is given.
Toussaint
-
Is it murder though?
Surely we should call them to trial to ascertain any guilt before issuing a bounty for them dead.
We know that this Meg was a certainly a traitor to them, Who sent her to spy on them is as of yet unknown.
But regardless they likely took an oath to Talona to serve them through the Murrain, And they broke this oath to their god.
Torm, A god many would consider goodly is clear cut on this, A traitor must be punished with death.
It seems to me they found a traitor amongst them and performed some druidic rite to appease the pagan spirits of the lands that some seek the favour of.

A woman by the name of Elora Everly from Arabel was murdered, gutted, and sent down the river. We at Eveningstar tried to intervene and save her but were unfortunately not able to do so, and even lost one of our Dawnknights in the process. The Murrain are guilty.
Shut up Pierre.
-DawnHammer Argun the Strong

I think there been enough arguing. Right now there are four men out there who feel there goddess gives them right to murder at will and do it on the Kings lands. If they want to argue that in court, they can, but I foresee them killing again and again if we let this slide.
Clerk put the bounty up.
Pierre I advise you put up something similar in Tilverton and dismiss them as mercenaries.
