OFFICIAL IMPERIAL REPORT

Reporting Knight: Ser Griffith von Roke

 

Incident: Metal, magically imbued skeleton.

Individuals Involved: Archbishop Humpfrey, Armand de Sarkozy, Octavien de Sarkozy, Ser Griffith; civilians

 

Details of Incident:

Inside the Firelight Inn in Belvitz, a humanoid skeleton made entirely of metal stalked in, not requiring any flesh nor bonds to keep its form together and functioning. Its maw and eye sockets alight with flames, shown later to not be mere decoration but relating to its powers.

 

On the scene were myself, Marshal Armand and his son, Octavien, and later Archbishop Humpfrey; as well as a handful of civilians. Upon seeing the skeleton, weapons were drawn; I myself took up a mace. In an effort to hold back the presumably undead creature, I and good Octavien held it back, doing little else but keeping it down and preoccupied whilst the Marshal ushered the civilians out of the premises before seeking out the Archbishop and his holy relics. In the meantime, the spook’s molten eyes began to spurt into a greater blaze before unleashing a supernatural, searing blast of red hot flames in an uncontrolled manner. Both the defending men were able to avoid any damage but the same could not be said for the famous tavern, counter, table and chairs being set alight and scorch marks scarring the walls. After a moment of disbelief, myself and good Octavien brought our maces down against the back of its metallic skull, abruptly ending its unnatural beam when its head cracked against the floorboards. In the same instant, Marshal Armand and the Archbishop rushed in through the second entrance, each holding a bucket containing molten tar which was with all possible haste poured over the undead horror, encasing it and as it cooled extinguishing the flames and ended the life, if it can be called that, of the spook.
