Title: Spy Apprehended, Removed Post by: Linaeus on February 17, 2009, 02:18:31 am Spy Apprehended, Removed!
Leading: Torrak Keres, Mercenary Skirmisher Attending: Kas Valentine, Veteran Mercenary Arcanist Jon Trent, Mercenary Delferium, Mercenary Mercey, Mercenary Arcanist Leander Le Blanc, Mercenary Recruit Thomas Deburg, Mercenary Recruit Captured: "Karne Kaball", Waywatcher of unknown rank - Note: We have reason to believe he lied about his name. During a routine parade and battle drill on the barracks rooftop, some of the men mentioned seeing someone watching us from the roof of the library. When I looked over myself, I distinctly saw someone peering over some plants and watching us train. Hoping we were out of earshot of the person, I ordered the men to quickly run down the stairs and secure the doors of the Library. We stormed the building and apprehended the suspect - now revealed to be a Yewish Waywatcher - without a struggle, relieved him of his weapons, and marched him to the barracks for interrogation. Basic questioning revealed that his name was, according to him, Karne Kaball, and his mother's name Wilmer (Obviously a man's name, but it -is- Yew). He claimed that he had been in the library to find a book, but was unable to adequately explain his presence on the roof, so we charged him with espionage. When it was pointed out that the Church has yet to lift its ban on access to the Library, we decided it would be best to brand the man for wytchcraft. We branded one hand with an "S" for spying, one with an "A" for wytchcraft, and stuffed coal in his mouth as punishment for lieing to us. We then untied him and carried him to Yew, where we handed him over to the Yewish Church as a Wytch. Hopefully they'll burn him, but in any case he wont be using his hands for a while. We informed the handfull of militia there of what he'd done, and issued the following warning; There have been three Waywatchers caught spying on Cove just this month. If we catch another, we would be forced to torture and kill them. Safe in the knowledge that the Waywatcher was likely doomed, we returned to Cove for drinks.

Woe betide the next Waywatcher to fall into Company hands. They'll be swinging from the nearest tree! *furrows his brow a little* *signed* Raiden, Commander.

For future reference, do not brand anyone else. . . .
