Lieutenant Logs, Serial String No. 26450,
Lieutenant Aegisfield reporting,
Log title, "Bridge District Incident".

As the primary witness of the recent incident that took place yesterday, I, Lieutenant Aegisfield, present to you this report.

Stationed at the main entrance gate of the Bridge District of Athkatla, I observed a group of adventurers entering the district at 1200hrs. They were then suddenly accosted by a pair of people who seemed to express interest in a mage named Kelsey within the adventurers' group.

Unfortunately, my position was too far away to hear their conversations properly, and it appeared to begin civilly enough. Moments later however, their tones began to sound agitated, and that was when the hostilities started. More people arrived, companions of the two people who accosted the adventurers, and they started to attack the adventurers.

I chose to side with the adventurers since they were not the ones who started the fight, and aided them with my bow, after blowing my whistle for backup as per regulations.

It would seem that the agitators underestimated their targets however, for their fighters could land no blows on the adventurers' druid. It seemed that she was decked out in Full Plate Mail and had active Ironskins. A very formidable defense against physical attacks.

The agitators' mage was swiftly taken out by the adventurers' ranger, who struck him with an Arrow of Dispelling to remove his Mirror Image, Stoneskin, and Protection from Normal Missiles, before finishing him off with Acid Arrows. The adventurers' druid and ranger than casted Call Lightning which eliminated the agitators' fighters and cleric.

The adventurers' cleric also casted Holy Smite at the same time and killed off all but one of the agitators. The sole surviving agitator was a thief, and she had hid in the shadows. I tried to scan for her, and when the adventurers saw my expression, they motioned me to look at the sky, pointing their fingers as one above.

I did not catch their meaning until the agitators' thief broke her invisibility in an attempt to backstab the adventurers' druid. In the split second it took for her to raise her hand, a lightning bolt struck her dead. It seemed that the adventurers knew that their Call Lightning was already active and waiting for its' next target. Lightning is after all, faster than the eye.

With the agitators dead, the adventurers thanked me and went on their way. It seemed that they were also interested in helping to solve the recent murder cases. With their departure, I hauled the bodies of the agitators to the prison for revival and trial with the aid of my men.

Thus ends my report.

Yours sincerely,
-Lieutenant Aegisfield.
