Episode: Boroughs Crimespree
Posted by Story on 01/26/17
The city was relatively calm considering the departure of 1500 Iron Guardsmen deserting into the Gray Forest after the attempted coup by Lord Commander Everard Telmar. Unfortunately, the significant decrease of that many guardsmen in the city of a half-million people is starting to be extremely apparent. Criminal activity is on a sharp uptick, with a rash of burglaries, petty thefts, and strong arm robberies in the normally extremely safe Upper Boroughs and even the Ward of the Compact as well. The Inquisition is responding, drawing some attention away from the Lower Boroughs, and even efforts to stem the rising crime has created some tension. Some Knights of Solace that were helping patrol the streets since Everard Telmar's betrayal attempted to break up a bar fight at the Murder, and wound up in a brawl with Iron Guardsmen attempting to do the same after tension and insults led to thrown fists. No one was killed, but it does seem to be only a matter of time.
