Rumor has it that a group of adventurers were seen attacking a woman near the campfire at the Friendly Arm Inn. An eyewitness saw them surrounded her, provoke her into a fight, then attack her all at once, aiming to kill her within spitting distance of the eyes of the Inn guards.
The eyewitness says two of the adventurers identified themselves as Sia and William, Sia being an armored knight and William a blonde Luskan mage, who summoned a giant scorpion. Further, there was a hin with 'fey blood', and another woman wielding a warhammer and dressed in heavy armor with a symbol of ruby lips hanging from her neck. The other adventurers refused to identify themselves to the eyewitness, likely in guilt, he says.
The eyewitness further states that these adventurers claimed that the woman was a necromancer after she had escaped, and called him a nitwit for not believing their claims. He points out, however, that regardless of the truth of their claims, the adventurers still broke several laws including:
- Violence, involving harm to persons, murder, and all-but-Lawful Dueling, will result in imprisonment and possible banishment from the Lands residing under Duchal Law (as has been decreed). Violence in self-defense will be judged by the appropriate authority. Violence against the Grand Dukes, Officers of the Court and the City Watch and Flaming Fist, shall be punishable up to death.
-Disorderly Conduct, including disobedience, brandishing a weapon, disruption of official business, harmful spell casting, and summoning creatures, will result in fines or jail time depending on the severity, as determined by a Captain of the Flaming Fist.
- Spell casting — forms of arcane or divine usage of magic that result in physical harm or manipulation of the other, are forbidden.
