Fort Vehl: Local Lord Murdered!
« on: September 29, 2011, 03:35:33 am »
In what appears to be a bungled burglary, Lord Rastimaud and several of his house servants were found murdered in the Rastimaud estate. The Merchant Guard were able to track the culprit down to a nearby crafting hall. In the fierce fight that ensued, several of Vehl's finest paid with their lives. A dwarven Knight of the Wyrm, assisting the guard, was also overcome in the fighting. The murderer, one Jartok of Krashin, recently released from prison, was cut down.

Captain Andrew Cartier, Lord Kezeds right hand man of authority in the city,  has been ruthless in dealing with the matter, a number of 'people of interest' have been rounded up in Fort Vehl and have not been seen for days. Concerned relatives and associates fear the worst.

Anyone who might have come into contact with the murderer is under suspicion and its said that the Lord who was murdered was a strong supporter of Lord Kezed.

Several of the Merchant Guild in the city initially suggested the matter may be linked to Lord Rastimauds somewhat shady side that is rumoured to involve slavery and other illicit activities and that he has abused his position as an official Tax Officer for Lord Kezed. Though it seems those comments were withdrawn rather hastily after Captain Andrew began his own investigations into the matter.

Protector Samantha Merritt, upon returning to Fort Vehl, looks into what's being done about the investigation and asks to be allowed to participate in the judicial process when it goes to trial.

Protector Merritt is informed somewhat forcefully that her help is not needed nor wanted. Captain Andrew Cartiers people have it completely under control.

The young Protector blinks at the response, but then backs away and excuses herself, ensuring them that she hopes that they indeed do have it under control, and that the Lord Protector will grant them strength and wisdom in their efforts.

"Whatever," comes the terse reply.
