[Royal Guard] Yet Another Undead Creature in the Black Dragon Inn

[Karras / Stu]

I had decided after the usual hot eve of Last Seed to take my allotted break within the BlackDragon Inn after I had completed Malgadossa Aptentr.  This was yesterday, or Middas, Last Seed 13.  Upon entering the Black Dragon, I was accosted with a Menx-damn awful smell the likes of which I hadn’t come across since they’d burned this lot of dead calves that had rotted after dehydration in my years as a farmer in Transdariania.

I came across what appeared on all accounts, to be some undead musigire in red armour of some sort, moaning and groaning as typically konkeletek undead do, spilling rats, vermin and what not onto the inn’s floor and making a general nuisance of its undead self.  At first I tried to order the thing outside, as I’ve met a few undead before and they seemed to be reasonable folk who could hold coherent conversations, despite the fact that they have no functioning vital organs and are considered to have no rights by Arangothian Law.  Communication proved useless, so I then attempted the use of verbal force, and commanded the thing to leave the premises.  This also proved unsuccessful, and the undead only responded by approaching upon my proximity as I nocked an arrow.

I did not have my usual assigned vials of Holy Water on my person at this point in time, for reasons of which are quite trivial but suffice to say there was a shortage of vials in the Guardhouse this morning.  At this point I thought all forms of apprehension would be useless, and the thing would have to be exterminated.   At this point in time, the undead creature was being held back by some inexplicable magic of some kind by an certain individual (description of Lesleigh).  Finding this would be a useful tool, I requested the magic user to assist in encouraging the undead creature outside, who at this point started rambling some claptrap about Elgaria and stuff that made no bloody sense.

The individual and I were at the verge of getting the ugly thing outdoors when some stupid broppi (description of Weiss) decided to take it upon himself to fight this undead creature, and he went about making a Menx-damn awful racket, swung some chain weapon around I’ve never seen before, shouting stuff about ‘holy this’ and ‘honour that’.  He then proceeded, after undertaking some acrobatics which made no fighting sense to me whatsoever, to blast the undead creature with some form of magic that ended a few tables inert and made a gods awful mess, which included almost knocking me to the floor.  The individual then fled the scene.  As a precaution, I would request any guards who see this troublemaker to have him questioned and perhaps given reprimand for such unruly and idiotic behaviour.  Had I the means I would have arrested him for obstructing the duties of a Royal Guard.

After the use of more of the individual’s (description of Lesleigh) magic proved successful, the patron and I led the undead down to the Wharf District, where we were able to disable and ultimately end the life of the already life-ended creature, who upon contact with holy water, disintegrated.  No other bystanders were harmed in this incident.

Elgaria: "In years past, the Order of the Beady Eye helped to carve an Arangothian province called "Elgaria" out of part of the Elgar Forest and kept the monsters at bay. After the fall of the Old Kingdom, the area was abandoned, and the forest has grown over the remains of Elgaria with unnatural speed in the past fifty years."
