This happened on the day I disappeared and hopefully will clear up what happened.
Before my duty started I went to the Rose to get my gear repaired and Lady Draxandruu took the time to mend my shoddy armor.
At the Rose there were also Tammy and Tessah and Lady Gwen informed me that both had apologised to her and that all was more or less fine.
Some drow used some forbidden magik and one of her skeleton creatures attacked a gypsy and wounded it before we could dispose of it. We warned the drow but as she summoned another of her skeleton minions we killed off the minion and beat up the drow and Elion told her that he nay wanted to see her around the Rose for a week.
I returned to the gate and Mordred informed Natalie, Ivan and me that Kaldorian scouts expect an attack from the marksmen at Serpents Hold and therefore all Kaldorian were called to the defence of the island.
The gate was fairly quiet and later we heard reports that the Kaldorians again had managed to beat back the marksmen, but luckily nay one had been seriously injured.
Some man attacked a Kaldorian and also injured another and from the fighting style of running and hiding and the use of poison it is very likely a yewian, who finally fled through the anthole.
Town fell quiet again and Natalie and Ivan went off duty for some rest when a drow told us about some men in white and black uniforms coming though the gate.
I went to investigate and found six armed figures marching to Trinsic making remarks about wanting to beat up Duchy guards.
Not taking them seriously I finished my round and saw them again at the tavern where they quickly surrounded me and demanded that I hand over my weapons and follow them.
As I knew that nay good fate would await me anyway I tried to run from them but was beaten down quickly.
I awoke in a yewian cell feeling sick and had to throw up in the cell which brought me more pain by them tearing out the fingernails off three of my fingers on the left hand.
They asked some questions about Trinsic and that I should tell them what I knew, but I barely understood them as unwell as I felt.
Then the one that asked the questions cut me and all drowned in a fever dream from which I nay can remember lots, except that I thought I was going to die
The poison the torturer used had almost killed me as I learned afterwards.
Seemingly they nay considered me injured enough and left it untreated and so the poisoned wound infected and almost killed me.
Only because they were curious and thought I might know something, though I rather think they did not want to waste the six thousand gold they had paid for my capture, they sent someone to care for my wounds.
Still it took a few days of heavy fever until I finally could get up again today. I felt weak and my side hurt, but my wounds were tended as well as could be expected.
Some darkly clothed person entered the jail claiming to be a servant of some high one and he could nay remember my name and called me so just “female” and he said that he would use the magik of “baptism” on me to pray to his gods.
For that he ordered the guards to let myself wash and then they handed me some blue wide robe that scratched terribly on my skin.
I then was led to the building of the shaman and he told me that he would teach me of his gods magik, but that I would have to perform some tasks before.
So me and the other guards were ordered to gather some wood, but as I was weak I hardly got anything together and while we were gathering wood a black dragon came storming out of the woods attacking some guard.
They managed to kill the thing, but some of them were wounded and some trainee called Abigail was ordered to look after me.
She was quite nice and seemed one of the first friendly people at that place and we talked a little before we were ordered to some training.
The training was nothing else than some beat up the recruits and hope they get tough from it. For that a maze was built with boxes and Guards with practice weapons were posted in it.
The victim, in this case me and other trainees” had to run and try to make our way through the mace. Me and the others were beaten up pretty quickly as we nay even were allowed armor and as I complained that the officer was all talk and no action himself, he almost took my head off with a bolt.
I said then that I would like to try with a shield and grinningly the officer said that if I made it through he would let me go. I surprised them and took all my strength and rushed through ducking as best I could behind the shield and made it through, but the officer just told them to grab me and they dragged me aside again.
He then took away the shield and let me run without it again and I was knocked out quickly in the maze and put aside.
I nay felt well, as after the sickness and then another knocking I nay wanted to play punchingball for them. They set up the maze and all went in and started beating each other up, when suddenly a Kaldorian jumped out and attacked the officer and distracted him from watching me.
At the same moment Talon grabbed me and carried me off into the woods and later as I managed to stand led me to the Trinsic moongate where other Kaldorians escorted me to town.
I asked Talon how they had found me and he said that some man had reported to have seen me at Yew. So Talon had started to scout and then set up this rescue mission.
I arrived at the gate and was glad to see Natalie who reported that the town was in even worse shape than me. Seemingly Jurrel had messed some magik up and released monsters throughout the town and then called in the guards to keep them at bay from overrunning the town.
The eastern part of the town has been declared as an emergency zone and all people are advised to avoid it. Also it seems the magik infested the park and awoke the trees and filled it with evil magik as they attack people that try to pass.
I will put out an order later on to secure some of the western parts of the town and leave the defence of the eastern parts to the royal guards with only temporal assistance from the town guards.
In this chaos muggings and assaults still happen as The markswoman Charlotte reported to have been mugged and also Shelly brought in a thug that had failed to rob her.
As I nay felt up to properly put her on stocks and Shelly had given the thug a proper beating I asked Shelly to throw the thug out of town and if she wanted to beat her up again.
Some man claimed to have informations about Yew and asked for a personal meeting and I agreed that we could talk in a cell after Natalie had taken all his weapons.
He nay told much except that we would meet again at some neutral point and the he would have useful information for me and I agreed to come and meet him tomorrow.
Cecil looked after me and I was joyed to see him and his bear managed to sniff out a person hiding in the jail, who ran as soon as the bear came to close.
Also some Yewian was caught sneaking in the town, but fled when challenged.
As it seemed unwise to sleep in the barracks I asked the Kaldorians if they had a safe place for me to stay and rest and they brought me to one of their places in Strongholt with a nice comfy bed and I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
Just awoke and finished this report and will put it with some other notes in the jail.

*a note is added to the report*
To the hands of Sir Irvyn Middlethorn, Lady Moiraine, Lady Reann and Lady Lisa Llywd
Your Grace and other noble persons,
In case I ever get captured by enemies or other people again, I wish that nay guard or allies get in any dangers trying to rescue me.
Also we nay should bow down to blackmail and only if sensible negotiation can be made a trade or ransom should take place.
I wish nay to put the Duchy in any problems in case of my capture, so I ask that if unreasonable demands are made, or that a rescue mission would be very dangerous, that I be considered as lost and another captain be named in my stead.
Kaelyn
*another note is added to he report*
A note concerning Iljian and Natalie and all other scouts of Trinsic.
If you can manage it, I would like to ask for a meeting on Wednesday the 13th at 19:30 at the Trinsic jail concerning a mission.

Citizens of Trinsic
I guess most of you have read the letters of the Yewian Tyrant Klion D'Gar offering mercy to the ones that kneel before his heel.
Why should we trade our freedom under a faithful to the crown, Lord Irvyn Middlethorn, against the tyranny of a powerhungry warmangering despot?
What has this so called Lord Protector of Yew ever done for Trinsic?
Declaring war on Trinsic!
Capturing and torturing its citizens!
Intimidating Trinsic's citizens and anyone who would side with us!
Do not trust the lies of this madman!
It is not your well fare he seeks, but cheap lands to conquer and for that he uses the soldiers of Yew without caring how many people die because of it.
Fellow Trinsic citizens, if you don't want to live under the heel of a powerhungry Tyrant, do your best that the Yewish army does not set a foot upon these lands.
Or next time it might be your children that have to fight in his army for his next delusional conquest.
Say NO to a Yewian Tyranny, fight with all you can do for a free Trinsic following the Duchy under the crown!
A concerned citizen
