[Royal Guard] Hot night and terribe sight.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
Office of Sergeant Arnise to Captain RG Commanding
Subject: Explosion and burning of civillian buildings and uncovering of 
unnamed cult.

Honored Sir, it is with burns, bruises, and a heavy heart that I write this 
report, the circumstances are to say the least, unpleasant. Surely you heard 
or felt the explosion that rocked the Wharf district last night, which seems 
to merely be the result of far more sinister implications. Before explaining 
the explosion itself I will endevour to bring to light what is in my opinion 
a more serious matter; in the past few weeks I had been hearing the rumor 
mill churn this way and that and though mostly it is hear say and 
misinterpretation there has been merit to disappearing women in the Wharf 
district. Unwanted or street wandering types... working girls if you will, 
thus a lack of official attention. I did take it upon myself to look into 
this, expecting little more than a murderer on the loose. What I found was 
much worse. On the night before last I divined through His sight a man 
tattoo'd in horrid markings and masked (detailed drawing and scribbles 
included with report) beat some working girls as well as a surviving victem 
by the name of Lil`Bee. I called upon what contacts within the district I 
have and the one who proved most valuable, a young petty thief has now paid 
the price for doing an honest thing. Knowing I was over my head I 
immediately requested the aid of the good Lt. Trayin and we did some minor 
detective work, my contact by the name of Falcon tipped me off to wait by 
the docks last night around midnight. I felt it may have been a trap but in 
fact when the Lt and I arrived we observed a strange ship dock with the city 
at a very peculiar hour (description of vessal, drawings of markings and 
symbols on its hull and sails) The crew members while appearing human 
were.... off... if you catch my meaning, no other way to describe it unless 
you have seen for yourself so with regret I cannot explain what race they 
may or may not have been. We watched and waited and decided to act upon our 
suspician, providing writs to search the incoming vessal and asking 
permission to board we were welcomed on deck and given a tour... nothing out 
of the ordinary aside from the layout within, once again it can only be 
described as... off. Lt. Trayin departed for a short while to investigate 
the markings and I stayed to over watch the ship from a safe distance. I 
observed a round common looking man climb abored and meet with the first 
mate, for a half hour or more they both disappeared below decks and he 
departed. I took note of where he went and stayed with the ship for the Lt 
to return. It was at about this point that the explosion rocked the through 
the entire district and I ran to the sight to see the apartment my contact 
had taken residence in was blasted and burning. Others came to assist 
including the guard fire brigade, Lt. Trayin, a civillian human (Chris 
Tango), and a Drow female (Luna NightPath). I took it upon myself to breach 
the building in order to save the young children inside, most were clever 
enough to escape but our combined efforts saved the children not caught in 
the initial explosion. Inside we found the body of one of these cultists 
(body NOT included in report) I have kept brought the body to the guard 
house for study and scrying of his markings to determine from where they 
have come from, or perhaps a divine signifigance that drives them. On the 
rooftop evacuating the last of the children we were engaged by multiple 
cultists who with the building so badly damaged and the weight and movement 
on its roof brought it crashing down. I write this both apologetic for the 
loss of life and building, as well as feircely desiring official action on 
this cult that would so actively seek to harm. It is thus that I request 
that this be posted and made public for the Guard, Royal Church, 
Magistrates, and any other city officials you deem needing to know. 
Terrorism like this cannot be tolerated and with permission I will continue 
my efforts to unfold this mystery.

Sincerely, Sergeant Arnise 3rd Platoon SGT of the Wharf Garrison.
