Today was a sad day in the hearts of Darkmoorians but a grand day for its Mayor. This reporter recently hear about a tragedy that rocked Darkmoor to its very foundations! Apparently Darkmoor's beloved mayor, Hector Firebrand, was accused of murdering the Duke, Maximus Aurelius, not once but four times!
After reading the court documents the evidence pointed thusly. The Mayor and the Duke were in the Skyview Tavern (which reopens next Saturday for food and fun) when Hector summoned a vicious giant scorpion and sicced it on Max in cold blood. Max attempted to fight off the best but having been suprised fell to its onslaught. After a quick resurrection Hector then summoned an Earth Elemental and attacked him again.
Of course Max was upset and went to get his dragon to settle the confrontation. While he was gone Hector evilly invised two more earth elementals and set them upon Max as he entered the bar. The last Max was seen was him chasing Hector out the door, dragon in tow. Hector returned to the bar shortly, unscathed.
Things looked bad for Hector so he turned to shard reknown attorney Dahakon. When the final word came down Hector was found not guilty on all charges due to either self-defense or reasonable doubt.
Of course this decision did not come lightly for the jury or the judge and riots erupted throughout the town and people took one side or another. This reporter interviewed the key parties.
After speaking with witness' Shannon DeVeau and Venus it was obvious that they disagreed with the courts ruling. "The jury was rigged, said Shannon, "Miri is close personal friends with Hector! She have let him off if he'd done it in front of her!"
Venus also had this to say, "Hector was so obviously guilty that it made you not wanna watch the trial! I feel this was a travesty of justice!"
After speaking to the defense it was obvious that they didnt feel the same. Dahakon was quoted as saying, "This trial is proof that there is justice in Darkmoor!" Apperently in the defense's case they showed that it was inconclusive how the scorpion came to be at the Skyview this evening, the earth elemental could have been summoned by Shannon, who was present at the time of the second killing, Hector was obviously defending himself when he saw Max come storming in with a dragon in tow, and no one really knows what happened in the fourth death. "Justice was slow in coming," said the pleased attorney, "Im just thrilled everything went in my clients favor."
When reached for comment the defendant had just that... No Comment.
After the harsh statements by the prosectuion about the jury I felt it only right that she add her two cents. Miri says, "When called to do my duty I do it right, no matter my personal feelings."
That being said I took to the streets to get the word of the common man. I came across a gentleman by the name of Matt Cauthon who had this to say, "I feel Hector was treated harshly! Im glad he got off! Hes a good man!"
So there you have it folks. The story of a man falsely accused or a mockery of justice? You be the judge!
(And come to Darkmoor and take part in some of this great impromptu roleplaying!!)
p.s. sorry for the crappy pics....
