[Royal Guard] The Belligerent, Biting Box

[Ayanula ...]

The following report is of an incident that took place in the early morning hours of ... [04/10/07]:

After filing my report for the evening and retiring from my partol, I entered the Black Dragon Inn off-duty for a meal and leisure.  It was not long after that a man (description of Story) began shouting loud curses from the bar.  When I turned to examine the situation, it appeared that a small wooden box (description of Nipper'Clink) was repeatedly biting him.  While most of the patrons thought it amusing, I moved to intervene as the attack was clearly unwelcomed.

Upon moving in to apprehend the box with a chair, a woman (description of L'bara) proceeded to draw a crossbow on me.  She claimed she had a right to defend her property and threatened to shoot me.  After I talked her down from such an unwise course of action, I pursuaded the argumentative woman to remove the box from the Inn.  She complied reluctantly and I returned to my seat.

Not long after, the same man (Story) began shoutting again from the bar about the box being there to harm him.  I turned and saw that the box was back inside of the Inn but the woman (L'bara) was not.

I went to apprehend and remove the box personally when the Inn's bouncer, Tia Mestin, and another woman (description of Ikara`Landron) stepped in to assist in doing so.  This is when the situation became rather ugly.  As Tia lunged for the box to grab it, it grew in size and swallowed her whole.  I attempted to wedge myself into the box's opening to assist Tia out, but [Ikara'Landron] had apparently caused the box to expell all of it's contents out onto the floor.  It was at that point that the box then fled from the scene rather quickly.

Speculation remains around the woman (L'bara) who had drawn a weapon on me intentionally sending the box back into the Inn.  Though she ultimately complied with my first order, the woman was very belligerent and unfavorable of the Royal Guard.  While that is, in itself, not something particularly alarming, she did not hesitate to draw a weapon on me with intent to introduce some sort of toxin into me that would cause incapacitation.

It is with such speculation that I request the woman be brought in or briefly detained for questioning regarding her ownership of the box that was clearly left to reenter the Inn after being told to remove it.  She identified it as being her property.  The box, itself, has attacked numerous patrons now and is to be considered an item of public endangerment.  There seemed to be some confusion amongst those present as to whether the box was an animate object or a cognitive being.  In the case of the latter, it clearly seems unable to stand trial.

Approach either the individual or the object with caution.

Signed,
~Idelle Sarault, Armswoman
