Yesterday’s duty was rather quiet and except that some threatened Lady Gwen and asked her strange questions. The man interrogated Gwen and it seems some new danger threatens the elves, but nay one knows anything more of it.

Tammy and Fabienne had a minor quarrel and it ended with Tammy biting Fabienne because she felt threatened.
I ordered both to stay apart and advise all guards to keep them separated.

Today was also quiet and the Rose and town were safe, so I gave Brynhild some time off to be with Corwin. Later on I talked to Brynhild about her relation to the Kaldorians and that she had to be certain where her loyalties lay, but I think she will do well.

Iljian handed me a map for his Grace, which he has to approve of and I will add a copy to this report.

Gerek came later on into town and kept insulting various visitors like Kendra, and Tammy and got beat up twice for it.

Gerek claimed he rescued some Lady in Skara called Celia Hart and he also claimed he let her husband burn in the house. I would like to inquire if such an incident really happened and will try to contact someone in Skara.

*You see what appears to be plans for a lighthouse. They were obviously not made by a professional and include a fair share of corrections, mistakes and cuts.
However, they clearly picture a lighthouse, a slim tower with windows and a round light on top. At its bottom there is a small hut and a free space for supplies and tools*


*a copy of a list is attached to the report, adding up things that are needed for the building. However, it is surprisingly short, apparently only holding things that Iljian really cannot organise himself*

Yesterday lady Alraune and Sir Adammair opened their Salon officially and showed it to the public. Stewan had prepared lots of different foods and also organised lots of different drinks and many tables had been placed in front of the house.
The party started a little slow with some people visiting, but definitely got interesting when some Vesperians decided to drop by and admired the Salon and especially the picture of Lady Alraune.
Luckily nay trouble started and also some Knights from Skara visited and also Lord Darkion from Haven and the two talked about their recent troubles.
Sir Darkion told us that he will set a day for the trial of his guard and inform us about it.

In the meantime Lady Alraune read some fortunes in her cards and Sir Adammair chatted with the guests and entertained them with stories about his life.

Tammy informed me that the one woman that had tried to attack her in the woods was there and I talked to the woman and she said that she had just looked for information and nay would bother anyone here again.
Stewan later informed me that probably the same two had questioned Gwen and some others about some necromancers, but he nay was sure.

It grew late and I only managed to capture a small sketch, but the Salon is open now and can be visited and you can see one of my pictures there.



Town had been quiet with the festival, though when I returned on duty Gerek was there and asked if he nay could join the guards and also asked Lord Isodore if he could. But I see nay way that I could work with him so I denied his aplication.
Katina told me that a boy had been robbed by some man, though ah nay found the boy or the Thief.
Some men visited town and Hugo started some trouble with them, but when I tried to intervene they all attacked me an knocked me over the head and if not for Jaraxle and Katina they would have taken me prisoner. As I learned later the four were from Vesper and probably had the plan to take me prisoner.

It was only a concussion and the healer sent me away again after I stopped seeing double and told me nay to sleep for a while.

Had a slight headache today when I got on duty and still had my head bandaged and was promptly confronted with a band of Vesperians trying to arrest Tammy. Tammy managed to flee and the Vesperians retreated when Iljian helped me to guard the gates.

Kimi visited the town and she is fine though she told me that two of her five children were stillborn. The other three seem to be fine though and stay in Tokuno for now and Kimi wanted to see Keina to talk to her.

I promoted Athar D’elion to guardsman today and as Sir Orson also got on duty retired sooner to rest.

Town was quiet yesterday, almost deserted with hardly any trading going on.
Most people took the time of holidays to visit family and loved ones.
Nothing noteworthy happened during my shift and I forgot to write my report before retiring.

Today the town is a little more busy with some trading people visiting.
Also Kaldor seems to be out in force and General Paladis is talking with his Captain.

The General asked me about a locksmith and I told him to check the tinkers, but I nay think this was what he wanted to hear.

All seems quiet and clear today an I am doing a patrol through town. then reporting for gate duty.

I best continue my report where my last entry ended.
On my patrol all was quiet and I chatted a bit with Stewan before continuing to the southern gate. Dexius was standing at the southern gate and muttering something like ’This is my lucky day’ before assaulting me.
I managed to fight off his first attacks but a few cuts with his poisoned weapon weakened and disoriented me so he managed to knock me out.




I awoke in a room tied to a chair and Dexius threatening to kill me, before another Brigand managed to convince him that it would be more profitable to sell me off.

Not satisfied with that he tortured my by burning my hand with some Acid in retaliation to the burns he had got as Brigand.
The burns are nay as bad but will leave scars nonetheless. Also they cut my hair and made me write two notes claiming that I killed myself, so nay one would look further for me.

The Brigands left me tied in the room then to find some buyers and after what must have been hours, I cannot say as I fell asleep, returned with two Vesperians.

Gerek and Kiran were looking to buy someone for the Swaggers, but as they recognised me said that they would nay pay the demanded 5000 gold and only 1000 gold.
The Brigands took offence in that and attacked the Vesperians and knocked them out. The two Vesperians were bound and also considered to be sold off to some slavers.

Lucky for us Tammy had heard that there was a victim being sold off and followed the Vesperians.
When she was sure in which house the transaction would take place she called Hugo, Tiggarn and a few others and stormed the building.

Hugo was disguised as Vesperian and Tammy had a wig and special makeup so she would nay be recognised. They attacked the Brigands and managed to knock them out and we fled the building before they could gather reinforcements. We even helped Gerek and Kiran who were in bad shape to escape, though I considered to leave them to the Brigands, but would have been a too harsh punishment for their stupidity.



We decided to split up in the woods and to head back to Trinsic and Tiggarn managed to escort me safely back.

I am glad to be back and will issue a warrant for Dexius Brutus again.
I also request how to deal with Kiran and Gerek as they were trying to buy me, but I am nay sure if I can put out a warrant for their behaviour.

If nay for their stupidity Tammy nay would have found me and I might be the gods know where.

Let the healers look me over and they said I was nay worse off than normally and could return to duty. They also seemed to be pleased with my short hair claiming that for a baking girl it would be more useful, once I realised that I was nay fit to be a guard.

I talked to his Grace and his son at the gate and I told him about Dexius and the involvement of Kiran and Gerek. His Grace though stated that as it nay happened on Duchy lands that ah nay could hold the two responsible and I grudgingly agreed.

Eike got promoted and celebrated it with lots of beverages and also invited all to celebrate with him.

Vesper came then looking for Tammy and a fight started as I naturally refused them searching the town.



Tammy had noticed the rampaging Vesperians before and had fled the town.
I got knocked out in front of the gates during the fight, but Devante and Yukiko put up a fierce fight and as the Vesperians feared reinforcements they retreated.

I added today’s bruises to yesterday’s and after the healers told me that I should nay bother them I returned to the gate, where I found a bruised Zefar. It seems he jumped into their portal and was beat up by a Vesperian and afterwards dumped by Escaflowe again near Trinsic.

A male drow called Darius sneaked around town and he claims that he looks for some kind of enemy. He almost started a fight with Dawn, so I think we better keep a close eye on the drow again.

All was quiet when my duty started and I chatted a bit with Iljian who wanted to show the progress of his Lighthouse to his Grace.
Sadly his Grace was nay in town and Iljian wanted that his Grace could see the progress and also confirm the project again.

I talked with Kimi about handing her the trading licenses and she agreed to think about it and to tell me her decision later.
I think Kimi would do fine and could easy my burden of responsibilities and with Iljian gone we also need a new quartermaster to pay the guards.

Adammair and Alraune were looking today for Stewan as them want to hire him for tomorrow’s opening of their salon and I told them that I would tell him.

I then went to check Iljian’s progress on the lighthouse myself and found it as he described it and also included a sketch of it.



As I returned to duty I learned that Hugo and a marksman called Deren had a fight in the woods. Hugo claims that Deren provoked him until they started brawling and the fight took them into the woods where Hugo knocked the marksman out and left him there. It seems Deren though was nay hurt too badly and he managed to get to the healers, as I saw him later for a short time at the gates.

I got reports that Kaldorians broke a key in the main door of the jail, rendering it useless. Also I got reports that some non Duchy people got keys to the cells and to the Duke’s office and I will order the Tinkers to change all the locks in the jail and at the Duke’s office.

Meygan and her sister quarrelled again a little at the gate and I had to send Meygan off duty and told her sister to talk to her, before I would have to punish her again.

Eike had some troubles with a woman whom he got to close to and she accused him of taking her money. I think I have to talk to Eike again reminding him nay to be too liberal with his hands in town and to avoid trouble.

Tiggarn visited me at the gate before my shift was over and escorted me home, so I would be safe.

Kaelyn




*a note is added to the report*

Dear tinkers.

I would like to order that all the locks in the jail and for the Duke’s office are changed and that new keys are to be handed out.
Please send the bill to the Duchy.

Got on duty and just after asking Yukiko if all was fine Tiggarn came on running and informed us that Dawn was being attacked at the docks.
As we arrived three Dawn was holding down a man who had refused to show his face and as we tried to question him Dexius Brutus and some other brigands came.

It seems they were trying to smuggle or do some sort of deal there and a fight started. In the following fight many brigands and guards got hurt, I too got hurt and had to see the healers.

With the help of the paladins we managed to chase the brigands away, though we nay could capture one, as them had hired some outside help to help them.

After the town quietened down we went to the reading of Lady Alraune and there was even a queue for the readings. Iljian came too and we showed his Grace the progression of the lighthouse and his Grace liked it.

His Grace had a private treading of his fortune later on in the evening and the town grew quieter.

A head with nay body was found in front of the town on the road and I brought it to the healers. There them told me that the man had been dead for a few days and that nay one of them knew him.

I guess it was left by the brigands as a warning nay to interrupt their dealings in town and was the body of a traveller them killed.

Brynhild was already on duty and had everything under control when my duty started and a patrol through town showed that all was safe and quiet.

Iljian came shouting to the gate, claiming that a traveller had been abducted by some monster and being dragged into a cave.
Me, Yukiko, Brynhild, Iljian and Corwin headed to the Cave and while I guarded the entrance them entered the cave, though they looked as far as possible them nay found any trace of anyone.



We had to return accepting that with nay more people it was nay possible to advance further and so we returned to the gate.

Iljian told there what had happened. He had seen a man walking from the Rose towards Trinsic when a Trogg jumped out of the bushes and dragged the man along to the cave.

Will have to send patrols to the caves more often to keep travellers safer.

Keina complained about Carn and please keep an eye on that man, as I think he is crazy. Carn is looking for a certain scroll which Lady Reann took from him and I will check if it is somewhere in the jail.

We got a warning that Vesper might come looking for someone and so I ordered Brynhild to make barricades and sent Luid off to keep watch.

After some waiting a vesperian force appeared at the gates claiming they look for Kiran or Locke or Tammy or maybe even the easterbunny.




Seeing the fortifications they feigned a retreat but I suspected that them would try to come from the south and managed to ambush the scouts I sent to check the south gate and overran us then at the gates.

I got knocked down early in the fight and awoke at the healers and got informed that vesperians had stolen several valuables from various shops during their so called search of the town.

I heard that they found Kiran in town, though nay sure about why or if.

Sir Devante Stirling set a Military parade tomorrow at 9 pm at the barracks including an inspection and later on a show how to build fortifications.
So I expect all to clean their uniforms and try to look their best.

Left town before my shift was over, but I nay felt well enough to do my guard duties properly as my leg hurt.

Kaelyn

Today was parade day organised by Sir Devante and so all of the guards who came on duty were busy getting their gear in order before heading to the barracks.

There Devante made the guards stand at attention and we inspected their gear then.

I included a sketch of it below



Afterwards there was some training, how to treat different guard situations, though almost all ended in fighting anyway.

During the training a lady came and told Iljian and Lord Isodore about some chancellor Michael of Spiritwood and his disappearance.

Iljian and Lord Isodore went there and upon returning reported that a demon was there and that Chancellor Michael was missing and only his staff could be found, which they returned to Trinsic.

After the training I resumed my post and was talking to some citizens when Yukiko ran along chased by two muggers. I tried to help her and a fight started but it all ended out the gates for me when I ran into some Vesperians who knocked me out.

I nay know what happened, as I awoke in my hut with my wounds bandaged and when I returned to the town all was quiet.

As the fights seem to get more frequent I decided to put a ban out on all Vesperians again and sent the poster also with a messenger to Vesper.

Yukiko reported that Carn helped the muggers who attacked her and so I will also put out a warrant for him.

Banishment

Due to the escalating conflict with Vesper I see no other choice as to ban all Vesperians from Duchy lands. This includes all people associated with the Swaggers too and they may be attacked on sight and thrown out.

Included are Gerek, Kiran and any other known Swaggers help, if anything was unclear.

I would like to get names and descriptions of the people as soon as possible and will make them public.
Also any strange behaving unknown animals which maybe magik users use and nay belong to anyone are to be killed.

A full list of people that are banished and not Vesper militia will be put out later.

Kaelyn, Captain of Trinsic

Got late on duty and when I entered the town I saw some Vesperians at the gate and shot some arrows at them.
Lady Reann intervened and stated that those Vesperians wanted to deliver an ultimatum stating that we either hand out all them wanted or they would attack again.
Lady Reann took up their demands and will inform his Grace about it, but I doubt his Grace will accept their demands.

Questioned Carn about what Yukiko accused him off and he claimed nay to have helped but confessed that he cheered at the brigands. Lady Reann ordered that he gets a warning and that he has to apologise to Yukiko.

Rest of my duty was rather quiet except Gerek complaining that all of Vesper is banned again and Carn handing a cursed ring to Zefar.

Luckily we could get the ring off Zefars finger and I threw it into the river. That and cleaning Carn’s wolf from fleas were the most exciting things I had fear this evening and I enjoyed a quiet shift.

Kaelyn

When I got to duty today everyone was busy preparing things for the festival. The crafters were all busy setting up their stalls and others started decorating the streets of the town so all of the town could reflect the festivities.

The festival was peaceful and except some small thieving it stayed rather peaceful.
It started off with a market hour where from leather to furniture even small puppies were on sale and found buyers.
Afterwards there was entertainment by the famous Emily who sung, told jokes and showed many more of her stage performances.

A sketch of the festival below



Afterwards Lord Isodore continued with the tournament where groups of three fought other groups and in the end it seems some Vesperians were victorious.

After the festival people slowly dispersed and some smaller brawls between some Vesperians and other happened but nay thing serious.

Some brigands tried to kidnap Lord Isodore and with the help of Hugo we managed to capture two of them.

One with the name of Weston had helped one of the criminals and was put on stocks and fined 2000 gold for his release then.

The other one refused to tell his name and attacked me and Meygan in the cells and we had to forcibly restrain him.
He got fifteen lashes and a banishment of one week and was then thrown out of town.

Leisa asked me to join the guardforce again and asked if she could be a guardswman and I obliged.

Was an exhausting day, but I am glad everything went with nay bigger fights and we had a relatively peaceful festival day.

Dear Sir Muldran,
As you are versed in magik I ask you for advice in a certain matter.
It seems that Carn Helmingas is cursed because he delved too deeply into magiks and starts to become a lich.

He claims a certain page I will obtain knowledge that he can lose the curse, but it may be a lie.

So I would like to ask you if you could visit and take a look at this man and give me advice how to deal with Carn.

I send this letter to Sir Callum and Muldran, as I need help as quickly as possible.
