A note is left at the City Watch Clerk's desk. It reads:
I, Larando de'Kaun, am hearby formally accusing Kathryn Blake of assault and extortion. Just outside the very doors of this fine building, she threatened to, and I quote, "hunt you down and kill you." if I did not deliver a message for her. This all was done while I was half-beaten and bound with rope, of course. All the while, this was being witnessed by a certain paladin of Selune named Cirion who had appearently just been told by the Watch, itself, that detaining me would be illegal.
The laws that I have read while in the Sundren Library clearly state that the threat of violence falls under assault. And by threatening to destroy the very thing I hold most valuable (my life) to force me to deliver a message to a certain unamed enclave, she stands accused of extortion, also.
If we cannot trust paladins and those they keep comapny with, then whom can we trust?
