Ember F. Chamber's Reports

I. The Spectre

After investigating a local group of cultists, a ghost appeared in Undersigil, calling out to me and Neri, the elven female I was with. She appeared to jump around, as if distorting reality itself.

With her build, she was a female human or elf, clearly humanoid. The encounter was too brief -- and her form too distorted -- to get a clear look at her features. Neri and I saw the ghost, but no one else in Undersigil did.

Here is what she said:

"I don't want to go."

"Please."

"Don't let them take me."

She then turned to look at Neri, when asked where she didnÂ’t want to be taken.

"Harbinger House."

After that, the ghost continued on its way, and disappeared, saying one last lineÂ…

"I don't want to go."

II. Wielding Weapons In Public

Name: Unknown

The man, perhaps human, is covered in heavy armor -- with a skull in front of his face, and a black hood around it. He has the symbol of Nerull on his chest, the reaper.

Twice now, I have seen him with his scythe out, in public -- and twice now, he has refused to put it away. I am unsure if this warrants arresting him, or forcing him to put away the weapon by assaulting him -- but the fact remains, he owes a few fines to the courthouse.

Summary Offenses

• Wielding of Weapons in Public, 2 Counts

III. Fire in the Lady's Ward

Alarm gongs rang to indicate the Satin Slipper had set fire, in the Lady's Ward. Several were rescued from the building, but the building was not saved. What remains is a smoldering husk. Dace, a Mercykiller, managed to put out the fire by summoning a water elemental.

From what I could tell, the fire started from a stockpile of alcohol, with a chemical residue suggesting alchemist's fire likely started it.

Suspects:

1. Name: Unknown
   Appearance: Human, average height, female, dark hair, wore dark clothing.
   Other Details: According to Pearl, one of the witnesses at the Satin Slipper, she wore a waiter's outfit when she came from the outside of the building, walking into the back, where the alcohol stockpiles were. She then left in a cloud of mist, much like a vampire could have.
   
   The same description was given by Warren Helder, of a woman entering the Laboratory in the Lower Ward and buying their strongest alchemist's fire. When asked for her name, he showed her a Mercykiller badge, saying she did not have to.
2. Name: Warren Helder
   Appearance: Human, average height, middle-aged, male, brownish hair, wore simple worker's clothing
   Other Details: Held a rivalry with Andrea, business did not do so well. Gives him a motive for the crime. Works in alchemist's and magician's shop in lower ward.
   
   Claimed to be at Laboratory, all day long. Mazey confirmed this. Last saw Andrea two weeks ago.
   
   Saw the woman above enter his shop, buying the strongest alchemist fire they had.
3. Name: Unknown
   Appearance: Woman with red hair
   Other Details: Irritated customer, complaining about food. Was the only odd thing to Andrea, about the day, right before her building burned down.

Witnesses:

1. Name: Pearl
   Appearance: Water Genasi, average height and build. Female.
   Other Details: Saw the woman with dark hair enter the back of the Satin Slipper before it set fire
2. Name: Andrea Alican
   Appearance: Female, Dwarf
   Other Details: Owner of the Satin Slipper
   
   Had valuable artwork in her establishment, including a giant, Gold Slipper. Unknown if it was stolen or not. She claims there was a lot of money involved in her establishment, giving motive for theft.

*Due to the fact the primary suspect had a Mercykiller badge, Ember F. Chambers requests this report only be seen by higher ups, to avoid unnecessary political conflicts

IV. Drilling in the Great Bazaar

Name: Bandernim and Co in Lantan

Lantan is a island-nation on Toril, across the trackless sea from Faurun

Two gnomes drilled straight through the middle of the bazaar, in their drilling contraption. They claimed they were aiming for the elemental plane of earth. During this time, a Mercykiller Justice was stating the specific sums of jink they owed, despite their being no arrests and no court hearing to prove their guilt. Still, they were informed of their crimes and directed to the Fraternity, to dispute specific amounts.

After trying to calm nearby citizens, I directed the gnomes to the lower ward, knowing a portal to the plane of earth was there. They made it in one piece, surprisingly.
