Serpentis Family/Erik Eyolf/Commoner's Compendium - Part III
Letter from Erik Eyolf Serpentis
Sir Toshuk,
Adventurer arrested
Toshuk has arrested the adventurer Karden in Avamar and brought him into your dungeons.
Do you know that your soldiers beat and arrested Karden, a freeman who had just left my camp taking the gold I paid for the repairs of my ring? And that I spent my precious time going down to the dungeons to release him?
How many times I have to say that you should not arrest our OWN Adventurers? If these arrests prejudice the services they are doing to our Lords and to the Judge of this realm, those losses will be payed by the men who spend their precious time with these activities.
I hope you find someone better to do with your time that arrest adventurers working under my banner. Or under the banner of any Lord of Sirion. When the commoners of Sirion are under my command, the last thing I want is that they are beaten and arrested shortly after leaving my camp.
I'm waiting an apology for that.
In Arms!
Erik Eyolf Serpentis
Judge of Sirion, Marquis of Trinbar
Roleplay from Corwyn Ni'Tessine
Encamped with his Paladins of Elune just outside of the walls of Avamar, Corwyn idly read through the morning's messages that his scribes had delivered. He didn't give them much thought till he read that Judge Erik had freed an adventurer named "Karden".
He immediately sat up. That got his attention.
Re-reading it in more detail now, he saw that it was Lord Toshuk that had arrested him. He was surprised to see how much anger was starting to boil inside of him.
He tried to calm himself. He was the founder of a new noble family (OOC: Origin of Ni'Tessine Family), and he was introspective enough to recognize that he was extremely self-conscious of his new stature. He needed to calm himself, and to get more information.
"Karl", he yelled out to his captain. "I have a task for you. Get some of your more discreet men to hit the streets and find out more regarding the arrest of a man named Karden."

Roleplay from Corwyn Ni'Tessin
"Captain Karl, reporting back Mi'Lord."
"So soon?", asked Corwyn. "What news do you have for me?"
"We've spoken with some witnesses, Mi'Lord. The whole thing happened in broad daylight, near the gates. Lord Toshuk had 5 of his men grab the man, and then Lord Toshuk personally assaulted the man. He, umm..."
"Speak freely, Karl. What is it?"
"Well..." the captain continues, "people remember it kinda vividly because apparently Lord Toshuk looked kinda like a monkey as he stomped on the man. Afterward, Toshuk was heard saying 'he was nothing more than a punching bag'. And then his men carried the freeman away."
Corwyn couldn't help but smile a bit. "A monkey, you say? I have another task for you, Captain. Find me some minstrels..."
