[Royal Guard] Demonic Attack in the Black Dragon

[Amanda Higgins]

*The following is pinned, not in the carefull script of Audriala, but rather
in the neat, but quick hand of one of the scribes. Though it is, at the very
least signed and sealed by the young Arms-Recruit herself.*

The 14th day of Sun's Dusk, 477


As I completed my shift this morning, I decided to stop in at the Black
Dragon Inn, to enjoy something warming to drink before returning to the
barracks. Unfortunately, I was not to be able to enjoy that drink. There was
an implike creature (description of Skreen) using a skull to translate it's
words into the common tongue, harrassing a woodsman (description of Chains
Vaughn) who had an infant child in his care. I informed the creature that it
would either have to be silent and cease harrassing the other patrons, or
leave. It responded with harsh words, and spat what appeared to be some sort
of acidic substance at my feet. While I was dealing with this creature,
another shot a crossbow bolt at me from the rafters.

It was only through the intervention of another patron (description of
Jinatsu Kuronu), that I managed to survive that, as the weapon was fired
from above and behind. The man drug me out of the path, though I still
sustained a minor injury from that. The creature from the rafters descended
to initiate battle. Because the creature had tried to kill me, I was forced
to respond with deadly force. To my surprise, the manlike demon did not
immediately die, even after having a silver edged dagger thrust completely
through its throat at the base of its skull, it continued to battle on. It
was, at length, subdued and destroyed, but only after I sustained grevious
injuries in the battle. I should like to commend those citizens who offered
assistance, (descriptions of Jinsatsu Kuronu, and Nikai enclused).
Unfortunately, the implike being escaped, after I was forced to depart to
seek the aid of healers.

Audriala ul-Alfrith Silad
Arms-Recruit

*Also enclosed is an attatched note from the attending healer:*
*Unto the Commanding Officer of Arms Recruit Silad*
**
*As the attending healer, I would discourage Recruit Silad from
participating in any active duty for at least another week to two weeks. We
have done what we can, but she will still need rest in order for her body to
complete the healing process properly. However, I fear that she will not
heed our recommendations. I also suspect that she will downplay her
injuries. Were it not for the assistance of the man who brought her two us,
Recruit Silad would have died. She had been impaled with a dull edged,
serrated sword, which we have and will present if you so desire.*
