[Royal Guard] Assault on a Lizardman

[Hatshepsut]

22.VI.479

While on desk duty around the Second Night Bell, I was summoned to the
BlkDragon Inn by a runner sent by the barmaid, Ms. Dulcina.  It seemed
that a lizardman and a winged person had gotten in a fight.  By the
time I had arrived, the fight was over, but the participants and
several onlookers agreed upon the details.

The lizardman, a Goodman Tsi`laask of the Royal Ironworks, had been
drinking rowdily and called a young ((description)) woman named
Mohavanna a "whore" repeatedly.  The woman attempted to knee Tsi`laask
in the particulars, which injured her leg.  Later, when the victim
continued to malign her to his companion, a young ((description)) man
named Nicholas became enraged and attacked the victim with his fists.
The victim tossed Nicholas over his shoulder into the bar, causing a
small amount of property damage.

As the victim was unhurt, he showed little interest in pursuing
charges, only stating that he would not be so gentle with assailants
in the future.  I warned him against throwing around insults, and
reminded his assailants of the ancient adage: "Sticks and stones may
break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  Given the nature of
the situation, I did not feel that further punishment was necessary.

I advise caution when dealing with Nicholas in the future.  The young
man appears to be dangerous in a fight, but he put forward the
attitude of an imbecile when I was scolding him.  Given his apparent
mortal fear of authority, quick temper, and limited mental faculties,
I believe that he may be at risk of suddenly becoming violent with a
guardsperson.
