221 / 04 / 06 - Suspects in Murder identified
Last week a squad of patrollers were brutally murdered in a street in East Bank. The four patrollers, led by Adrin Guardian, were ambushed while in the process of arresting several people who had attacked and killed the guards at a warehouse. Eyewitnesses have described how the patrollers were attacked without warning by a vicious dragonborn child who then freed one of the prisoners. The freed prisoner then unleashed a barrage of magic which felled the patrollers.
The patrol launched an urgent investigation led by Lieutenant Beatrix Guardian to identify the culprits and have now released the outcome of that investigation. The patrol were able to gather a lot of descriptions of the group that attacked the warehouse as they had been wandering around the area asking about a gnome from the Mallory Centre for healing. The members of the group had eye catching appearances with one having blue hair and another wearing bright yellow armour which allowed the patrol to identify them as a relatively new mercenary group calling themselves the Chimera Crew. This group was formed from the remnants of the infamous Rainbow Crew and it seems they are continuing with that group’s casual disregard for the law.
Further confirmation of the identity of the group was obtained from a representative of the Mallory Centre for Healing who confirmed that one of their healers had been missing and that the Chimera Crew had been asked to help find him. The missing healer, a gnome called Himinimim Humperdink, had reappeared on the day of the murders and though he initially claimed not to have seen who rescued him, this was later proved to be a lie. In addition to being charged with attempting to hinder the patrol, Himinimim is also facing charges of trespass and has so far refused to explain his reasons for breaking into the warehouse.
While all the members of the Chimera Crew are wanted for questioning, the patrol believe that only the human calling himself Lindon Silversmith is to blame for the death of the patrollers. Witnesses to the murder have stated that Lindon was the only member of that group that attacked the patrollers and that another member of the group, a shifter named Torgan Ve, tried to help the fallen patrollers before being dragged away by Lindon. Torgan is a respected sword instructor who provides advanced training for the guard and patrol and it is believed he may have been acting under duress during the attack on the warehouse.
Unfortunately the Chimera Crew were able to slip out of Chirin before the patrol identified them as the culprits. When the patrol went to arrest the members of group they were informed by Lindon’s apprentice, a young shifter named Bovin of Powec, that the group had departed on the 19th, the day before the murders. This was later proved to be a deliberate falsehood and Bovin now faces charges of obstructing the patrol. Trials for Himinimim and Bovin are scheduled to take place on the 10th Mids.
