Ah, I see this little story is going to grow itself a tail. Regardless of those responsible for the massacre, I believe it is safe to say that and further attempts at KI shall take a lot of time to shape up. Because of this, the senate is off the hook with the thousand and five gold coins thingy. Although many will view this is a major setback to society, none can deny it is a great benefit as far as the council budget is concerned.
Naturally, it is not because of this, but because of the atrocities inflicted and the dubious evidence involved that an investigation will indeed take place.
All attempts at locating Mr. Underhill shall cease as of now, that we may instead concentrate on this much larger threat. For to go against kobolds is one thing, but to purposefully disrupt experiments funded in part by the senate is something we cannot allow to let pass unpunished.
To prevent anyone from trampling the evidence, the site of the slaughter is as of now off-limits to the public. Anyone caught looting shall pay the standard fine of 450 GP as per articles 13.2 - 13.5.
Councillors are requested not to leave the building, for they too fall under suspicion. I shall have each and every one of you questioned, not because I believe the culprits are amongst us right now, but rather as a routine check. The people of Baldur's Gate can expect no less of us.
After questioning, investigators shall proceed to the site and gather what evidence is left.
Special forces shall attempt to find both Mr. Baggins and the now suspect Mr. Grungi. The anonymous journalist and his equally unknown sources too must be found, in the interest of the nation's safety.
It is my sincere hope we shall find those responsible soon, before any further bloodshed will take place.
By the way, the budget and I have nothing to do with this, as I'm sure you will all know. Right, I have a... cricket appointment. Don't leave the building unti lthe interrogators are finished, and I'll see you all on Monday. Goodbye!
