[Royal Guard] Advisement to all Guard personnel in the BlkDragon District

[Ayanula ...]

Due to recent events highlighted in Armsman Lathos' report, all Guardsmen in the BlkDragon District are advised to be on the lookout for unattended bags, packages, and other devices while in public establishments.

>From the mere referencing of Lieutenant ChasingFire, who has been personally targeted in the past, it is likely this attack was targeting Lathos as a member of the Royal Guard, as these tactics have been used before by terror groups associated with the worship of Menxruk.  They've used alchemic devices as explosives to mutilate and kill crown officials in the past and last night's occurance is perhaps a sign that there is a renewed effort to carry out this sort of destructive campaign again.

It is also being advised to, when in the presence of the medusa known as Elapidae, be vigilant for suspicious behavior of others around her.  It was this bounty hunter that brought to justice a priestess of Menxruk who was found guilty for libel, two felony assault charges, as well as membership in a militant faction.  She was exiled and led to the border with Outer Arangoth several months ago, lending to the suspicion that this may be a delayed retaliation move.  As such, Elapidae exists as a potential target as well.

Regardless of the motivating factors, however, all Guardsmen are advised to be well aware of their surroundings for the next few weeks until this investigation is completed.


Signed,
~Idelle Sarault, Arms-Lieutenant of the BlkDragon District

Scribbled in the horrible writing of Lathos once more and dated June ninth in Earth Time..

"Just before the Third Late Bell (3:00 AM MST), some sort of... explosive detonated inside of the Black Dragon Inn not but feet from me, my beloved's, and another citizen's location at the bar after I had finished up a patrol and prepared to return home for the night. A few barmaids injured and a great amount of damage taken care of by the Inn's magic - the few injured moved off to healers to recover. Luckily there were hardly enough in the inn at such late a time to cause any serious injury. It didn't look like any fire ball I've ever seen.. it wasn't.. firey it was.. like it had things in it flying through the air [shrapnel based]

I recall that before the explosion went off, a woman had been inside the inn with a box in her possession, she left for a brief period, and then return and dropped off the box to Dulcina telling her to deliver it to a "Lieutenent Trayin", and then another name "Lay ChasingFire" speaking of it being of help against the undead, Dulcina being bussied by her duties left it on the counter. Hell's balls to whoever the second person is. Either way, something didn't feel right about the box being delivered and I spent several moments studying the face of the woman. (A rough description of Lima`Ziehr follows, not perfect, but enough to work off of.)

After a pipe with what I can only suspect was some sort of drug was left lit on the box itself and after had been extinguished by me in passing fancy but left on the box, I had begun to notice that the box was smoking as well as the pipe. I believe the pipe was somehow used to.. I really don't understand what it was, but when I opened the box there was a ... thing like a string on fire and it lead up and into a glass cannister filled with what looked to be sawdust and a puzzle of other things. [Ye olde ancient pipe bombs! Now you understand the IRA joke.]

At that point, by some luck, my beloved seem to understand what was happening and threw me and another patron out of the way of the blast from where we had been standing only inches from it inspecting it at that point.None of us were injured seriously.

With honor I serve - Armsman Lathos."
