Hear ye! Hear ye! A dangerous time! A dangerous time when one cannot feel safe within the guarded walls of Hydlaa!
A villain has made an attempt on the life of a young woman of Hydlaa! We cannot release her identity as it may put her at further risk! Through her account, we know this: She was assaulted from behind. Her attacker was scared off and fled before causing any serious harm, but he was never seen except as a swift-moving shadow. He did drop his weapon however - a scorched dagger with the handprint of a kran fresh upon it.
Not but some fifteen minutes before the attack, just such a weapon was observed being sold in the plaza. Upon further investigation, the buyer was identified as ?Domonicor?, a kran new to the city.
His story is that the dagger was bought on behalf of another customer for some high fee. He claims that the sum of four thousand trias was paid to him in exchange for bringing a simple dagger to an elf named \"Shalmaneser\" in a location away from the eyes of any witness. Thus, he could not provide anyone to confirm his story.
However, no prints of any elf were found on the weapon. Instead, there was only the fresh hand print of a kran! Domonico has tried to explain this away by adding to his already all-too-convenient story, saying that ?the one with pointed ears? only held the dagger through a piece of cloth!
Domonico admits to owning the very weapon used in the assassination attempt! He changes his already unbelievable story to escape guilt! Most damning of all, he fled when questioned!
His guilt is obvious!
Beware this kran ?Domonico? in the name of safety! Pursue this kran ?Domonico? in the name of truth and justice! If you discover anything more of this incident, report your findings to Dylia, Zanzibar, or the local authorities! Peace be with you!
