<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unto Captain VonStahl and all Guards, the following
report is Verbatim of the happenings on CandleNight pertaining to the Arrest of
one Ety Woods and her trial and punishment that was handed down by Magistrate
Segovax.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><<here starts the log
entries>></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[21:30] * NicoleKain walks into the door, grins as
she pushed back some of her red hair from her face. wearing a black corset with
red ribbon laced up the front, black leather pants and knee high boots. pushing
away from the door, weaving in and out of tables and patrons. heading right up
to the bar, sliped down to sit on the bar stool. orders a drink waitting for her
drink, turns her green eyes to look around next-> <BR>[21:30]
<NicoleKain> cont-> slowly. <-end<BR>[21:32] * Ety`Woods
slowly leaned off of the front wall and began walking towards the bar after
Nicole. The woman would stop just short of the counter, however, standing back
some distance while studying the selection of bourbon with her eyes.<BR>[21:32]
* ChasingFire half eyes Ety, but makes his way towards Baldi for now no
less..<BR>[21:38] * Ety`Woods steps forward from behind Nicole, drawing her left
elbow in to jab the woman in the side of her head. The attempted blow was meant
to stun her quickly while her free right hand shot into her pocket to grasp onto
whatever valuables or contents would be found there.<BR>[21:40] * Jenneane got
up quietly from her place by the hearthfire.... She was thirsty again.... And
so, behind Ety, she stood after coming to a stop....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[21:40] * Baldisar seeing this stands and
approaches Ety and he attempts to restrain her "here now what is this
about?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[21:40] * NicoleKain blinked as she was struck by
suprise. rubs the side of her head turning to look at the women, what she might
find in her pocket would be toy made of wood in the shape of a spider. shakes
her head as she grins, still blinking her eyes a few times. "dang what did i
do?"<BR>[21:40] * Jenneane sidesteps out of the way and takes up a stool at the
bar again....<BR>[21:42] <ChasingFire> "She's tha resident lowlife theif,
Baldi, tha's what she does."<BR>[21:43] * Ety`Woods doesn't even examine what
she withdraws from the woman's pocket. The woman simply backsteps as quickly as
she can to put distance between herself and Nicole, only to walk right into
Baldisar who immeidately goes to restrain her. Ety, unsuspecting and outright
surprised by the sudden grasp, immiedately flings her head backwards, trying to
catch the guard in the face with her skull as she jerks violently, trying to
get<BR>[21:43] <Ety`Woods> <cut> trying to get free.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[21:43] * Aerlisa blinks and looks over at Ety and
Nicole, shaking her head in disgust. "That was probably the clumsiest
pickpocketing I've ever seen," she comments, apparently looking down not upon
the act itself, but the way it was carried out.<BR>[21:43] * Baldisar looks to
Luc as he still holds Ety "well not tonight, I'll have to either take her in
unless the Lady here has no objection to letting her loose with a warning and
return of anything taken"<BR>[21:44] * Baldisar moves his head though her skull
catches the side of his head he keeps hold<BR>[21:46] <Baldisar> "now that
hurt little lady" he turns to Nicole "so what do you say? we cut her loose if
she returns any items taken or do I need to arrest her?"<BR>[21:46]
<ChasingFire> "Ya take 'er in she'll jus' do it again so soon as she gets
out.. She tried ta beat one o' m'mates to death 'cause she's got it figa'd that
bein' arrested means free room an' board.. Ah say lynch her, an' let 'er have
free room an' board in hell."<BR>[21:46] * Ety`Woods grunts after her skull
bounces right off the side of his, causing her to wince some as she continually
jerks violently.<BR>[21:47] * NicoleKain turns looking at the women and man,
rubs her head again it didnt hurt much but dang. "why pick my pockets?" shakes
her "looked at the girl then back to the man "well.." she didnt know "if she
promised not to do it again..let her go but if not then take her in" thinks
again as she rubs her head "but maybe you should take her in i have a feeling
she will do it again to someone else"<BR>[21:51] * Ety`Woods seemed
unresponsive, having continued the jerking while Nicole had been speaking to the
guard the entire time. Having the question posed to her formally by the guard,
the woman would settle down for just a moment before jumping up, throwing her
feet forward to push into the edge of the counter, then push off of it and back
into the guard in an attempt to throw both of them back.<BR>[21:53] * NicoleKain
makes a note to herself to hide her money some place else on her body, that way
no one could find it. green eyes watching the man and the lady pick pocket,
seeing this she could only guess that was a no.<BR>[21:53] * Baldisar releases
the young woman as she does this but while she is in the air his eyes glow red
and he casts a levatation spell hopefully causing the woman to float
harmlessly<BR>[21:54] * Ety`Woods floated across the room.<BR>[21:55] *
ChasingFire watches Ety float, and refrains the urge to use her as a
kickball..<BR>[21:57] * Baldisar grabs Ety bringing her to a stop but with her
still floating in place so she can't hit anyone or move "so you promise no more
theft? Otherwise I have to take you in and you will not see a magistrate till
morning"<BR>[21:59] * NicoleKain turns looking at Bald "seems that one is fisty"
laughs as she picks up her glass taing a few sips then replaced it back down on
the table. "seems to me she is not wishing to behave herselfat all" shakes her
head slowly as she grins<BR>[21:59] * Ety`Woods simply remained suspended in
air, giving no physical or verbal response for the time being. The woman just
relaxed her struggle while in mid-air to the point where she simply came to a
full stop.<BR>[22:04] <Baldisar> ok if you don't want to cooperate then I
guess I'll run ya in, first we'll search you to see what you took from the
lady<BR>[22:05] <ChasingFire> "Watch 'er now Baldi, she aint eva
safe..."<BR>[22:06] * Baldisar takes out his manacles and cuffes her hands
behind her back as she floats there and proceeds to attempt to find any pouches
she has<BR>[22:06] * NicoleKain she was getting a slight headach from where she
got boinked, man next time she will have to watch more carefully. green eyes
shifted over to the other that spoke "she is dangerouse?" blinked her eyes
quickly as her head lowers then looked back up with a tilt, red hair brushed
over her bare shoulders.<BR>[22:06] * Ety`Woods dropped the wooden object that
she had removed from Nicole's pocket. Assuming it wouldn't levitate, the toy
would simply drop to the floor below. Nothing else can be found on
her.<BR>[22:07] * Baldisar notes the toy and looks to nicole "is that what she
took?"<BR>[22:09] * NicoleKain nods her head "yes that is all" but the wooden
spider had onyx eyes. a gift for a neice back in her old lands. but she could
get more "if she wanted it, she could have it. she didnt have to pick my pocket
for it?"<BR>[22:10] * Baldisar allows the girl to the ground holding her by the
cuffed arm and leads her out the door to the guard house</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[22:12] * NicoleKain watched Bal lead the girl off,
shakes her head slowly then picks up her drink again. "i wonder what they are
going to do with her?" she said out loudly, wonders if anyone might hear her
voice and give an answer but if not she would talk to Bal on it.<BR>[22:14]
<ChasingFire> "Probabla whip 'er ah good one an' let 'er back ta her
ways.."<BR>[22:15] * NicoleKain she stands and heads out behind them<BR>[22:15]
<Baldisar> a courier enters out of breath and scans the room he walks to
NicoleKain and says 1M'lady would you come with me<BR>[22:08] * Now talking in
#Guardhouse<BR>[22:09] * Ety`Woods has joined #Guardhouse<BR>[22:11] * Baldisar
enters the guardhouse leading Ety in manacles<BR>[22:11] * Ety`Woods is led it
without incident.<BR>[22:13] * Baldisar notes Segovax and nods to the magistrate
"I'm glad you are actually here magistrate, I just arrested this young Lady here
attempting to pick another ladies pocket"<BR>[22:13] * Segovax awaited them,
already seated wherever the judgements took place because I've forgotten where
exactly ANYWAYS with a stick of coal and parchment to record the proceedings
himself. He had the look and countenance of an unfriendly school master, all
sharp and on in years. He was flanked by a bored-looking armsman.<BR>[22:14] *
NicoleKain has joined #Guardhouse<BR>[22:15] * Ety`Woods looked to the
magistrate as she stood before him, her hands still bound behind her
back.<BR>[22:15] * NicoleKain slips in to hear what was going to
happen.<BR>[22:15] <Baldisar> the courier lead Nicole into the
room<BR>[22:17] * NicoleKain looked over to Bal then back to Ety, shakes her
head as she watched on. "whats going to happen?" she asked quietly<BR>[22:17]
<Baldisar> Magistrate Segovax the young lady I have bound here, in the inn
a moment ago attemped to pick the pocket of the Lady that just entered by
hitting her in the head and lifting items from her person<BR>[22:17] * Baldisar
looks to Nicole "that is up to the magistrate here"<BR>[22:18] <Segovax>
"Mm. I see." The severe-looking magistrate made a note on his parchment. He held
up a hand; on it was a ring adorned by a blue stone. "This," he told Ety, "Will
let me know if you are lying. Now, please, tell me your name, and give your
story. I will then pass judgement--please keep quiet, Tespin," he told Nicole
sharply.<BR>[22:19] * Ety`Woods didn't turn to acknowledge Nicole's presence or
even glance at Baldisar as he spoke. Simply remained visual with the magistrate
befoer her. "Ety Woods." She would answer, her voice hoarse. "It occured as he
said." Ety would also add.<BR>[22:21] * Baldisar remains silent as ety talks to
the magistrate<BR>[22:21] * NicoleKain nods her head slowly as she placed her
hands in front of her. steps over to take the stone from the magisrrate, looked
at the stone then back up "my name is Nicole Kain, on what happened was i was
sitting at the bar drinking my whiskey sour, then for some reason im struck."
turns looking over to Ety then back to him "by that lady over there" pointed
over to Ety "then this man" motions to Bal next-> <BR>[22:21]
<NicoleKain> cont-> " was trying to retrain her, asked me if i
would have her locked up to relised. at first i wanted her relised if she
proomised not to do it again. she tried to get away, so he froze her to check
her pockets" <-end<BR>[22:22] * Baldisar looks to the magistrate, from
what I have heard from other guards this is not the first time she has been
arrested and warned about this behavior your honor<BR>[22:23] <Baldisar> I
am Spellsman Baldisar Kaliste, for the record your honor<BR>[22:27]
<Segovax> The man in the black robes nodded once, made a few more notes.
"I know who you are, Spellsman Kaliste," 6he said, offhand. "Hm. Your honesty,
Tespin Woods, does you some credit in this case but if this this is, as the
Spellsman says, one among many offences, I am afraid I cannot be so lenient in
your punishment." More notes. "Spellsman, please have her flogged, ten lashes,
and see that her hand is branded to mark her as a<BR>[22:27] <Segovax>
--and see that her hand is branded to mark her as a thief. And then a public
apology to Tespin Kain, here, should set things in order."<BR>[22:28]
<Baldisar> yes your honour I will see to it immediatly<BR>[22:29]
<Segovax> "Oh, and Spellsman?"<BR>[22:29] <Baldisar> yes your
honour?<BR>[22:29] * NicoleKain green eyes looked back and forth between them,
this was the first time she had to go to court. bitting on her lower lip, looked
over to Ety then back to the men. holds up her hand to give back the stone in
silence.<BR>[22:30] <Segovax> "Next time, chop her hand off." Letting that
hang in the air, the magistrate rose from his chair and turned to leave, the
still bored looking armsman following in his wake.<BR>[22:31] * Ety`Woods looked
down to the floor, almost in frustration and disappointment to learn that she
was to be punished without time, or a meal, in custody first. Nevertheless, she
would say and do nothing other.<BR>[22:31] * NicoleKain looks back over to Bal
"i guess i am no longer needed here?"<BR>[22:32] <Baldisar> well that's
that tespin woods if you would sit on the bench there for a moment 6if she does
he will bind her hands to the wall using a chain between the manacles and the
wall<BR>[22:32] * Baldisar looks to Nicole "no you are free to go"<BR>[22:32] *
NicoleKain nods as she turns walking out the door.<BR>[22:33] * Ety`Woods slowly
takes a seat, leaning her head back and closing her eyes as she does
so.<BR>[22:34] * Segovax has left #guardhouse (This has been the People's Court.
Court is adjourned.)<BR>[22:34] * Baldisar walks to a cabinet and returns with
a rather nasty looking flog and a brand that he places in the hearth to begin
heating, he then releases the chain between the manacles and the wall and says
"</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>tespin woods please rise and move to the center
of the room"<BR>[22:35] <Baldisar> as she does this he places a stool with
no back on it there "please take a seat on the stool"<BR>[22:35] * Ety`Woods
rises to her feet and does as she is instructed, opening her eyes in order to
navigate herself to the center before stopping there and standing. Her eyes
glaze over as she stares forward.<BR>[22:36] <Baldisar> would you rather
stand or sit on the stool?<BR>[22:37] <Baldisar> or kneel<BR>[22:37] *
Ety`Woods slowly dipped down to one knee, then slid the other down. That being
her answer, the woman continued to face forward without further
response.<BR>[22:39] * Baldisar proceeds to lash her 10 times as per the
magistrates orders, he then gets the brand and releases the manacles "please
hold out your right hand or place it on the stool"<BR>[22:41] * Ety`Woods buries
her head within her right shoulder as she's lashed. The woman would take some
time before slowly bringing her right hand, shaking almostly uncontrolablly, as
she too was, and placed it upon the stool. Her eyes still closed, the woman's
head remained against her right shoulder.<BR>[22:43] * Baldisar places the hot
brand on her hand for several seconds to mark her as a theif then returns the
brand to a stand to cool "tespin woods, I'm sorry I had to do this, you are free
to go as soon as you can recover your composure, do not forget the magistrates
warning, next time I am required to remove the hand"<BR>[22:46] * Ety`Woods
lifted her head enough to bite down on her shoulder when the brand was applied.
Her eyes closed tighter as the skin immeidately blistered from the heat. When it
was taken away, she would simply remain in this position for some time until her
muscles stopped shaking and she was able to stop biting down on her shoulder. As
she slowly gathered herself once again, she would give a simple nod in response
to Baldisar, her eye<BR>[22:46] <Ety`Woods> <cut> Baldisar, her eyes
still closed.<BR>[22:46] <Ety`Woods> "Would you help lead me out of this
place?" She would ask, her voice still hoarse.<BR>[22:47] <Baldisar>
I can do that where would you like to go?<BR>[22:48] <Ety`Woods> "Just
outside, I can gather myself enough there to find my way home." Her eyes
would open some at this point as she rose to her feet.<BR>[22:49] * Baldisar
helps her to her feet and leads her out to the sidewalk "you sure you are all
right from here?"<BR>[22:49] <Ryal> And to let you know, that brand cannot
be magically healed. It's forever.<BR>[22:50] * Ety`Woods is led outside
onto the street, shaking her head as she slowly begins walking eastward. Her
right hand is held firmly under her left shoudler and her back is slightly
hunched forward from the flogging.<BR>[22:50] * Baldisar returns to the
guardhouse to file his report<BR></FONT></DIV>
