Company of Balian Report: 15th of Horen's Calling BA. 55

Penned by Magister Robert Joseph de Lyons

 

 

 

    I. Parties Involved

 

• Attackers: Two Constructs, appearing to be made of Stone. One was 8’ tall and roughly wolf-shaped, though still humanoid, the other was 7’ tall and Orc-like. Likely Paleknights or Golems.

 

• Balianese Forces: Don Demetrius var Ruthern, Princess Augustina Novellen, Magister Robyn de Lyons, Amiratus Gaius de Rosius var Ruthern, Lord Commander Peter d’Arkent, Don John d’Arkent, and Private Ren Yu.

 

    II. Timeline of Incident

 

• Don Demetrius var Ruthern, age 7, was caught outside the city by two constructs.

• Princess Augustina Novellen observed the situation and reported back to Magister Robyn de Lyons by the gates. They both armored up and approached the scene, asking for the child to be let go.

• Don Demetrius fell unconscious, with mists coming from his body, like some sort of ritual. The constructs handed him back to Princess Augustina saying they had taken what they needed, and acting as if they would simply leave. Princess Augustina held him and got him behind her, and Magister Robyn worked to try and go in between them and  the constructs.

• The constructs then suddenly attacked Princess Augustina after making it seem like she would be let go, one hitting her over the head with the maul-side of his war axe, while the other stabbed her in the chest with his spear.

• Magister Robyn reacted, slamming the warhammer into the chest of the construct and cracking it, before being hit over the head by the construct’s war axe’s maul end, having softened the blow slightly with his warhammer.

• At this point, the City Bell was rung, and a rally consisting of Lord Commander Don Peter d’Arkent, Don John Lothar d’Arkent, Amiratus Don Gaius de Rosius var Ruthern, and Private Ren Yu came down the stairs to reinforce. Magister Robyn regained his senses as he’d standoff with one though not actively fight, while the taller, wolf-like golem moved away with the Princess, while seeming to perform the same ritual he had on Demetrius on her.

• Eventually, the Princess was dropped, the taller, wolf-like construct started to flee while his compatriot accepted a “klomp” (or duel) with Private Ren Yu, initially for the Princess’ safety, but eventually simply for the sake of it, and the hope that the construct could “steal his (Ren Yu’s) soul.”.

• Don Peter d’Arkent, Magister Robyn de Lyons, Don John d’Arkent, and Don Gaius de Rosius var Ruthern made chase after the larger construct, who went all the way to the coast and escaped via boat.

• On their return, Magister Robyn and some others brought Princess Augustina to the clinic for medical attention while the honor duel went on on the stairs.

• During the duel, due to the lack of honor shown by the construct earlier in the fight by attacking under a truce, Ren Yu wrestled down the construct while Don Gaius shattered it’s knee, back, and head, and Don Peter shattered its chest, at which point it crumbled.

• Don Peter, Princess Augustina, and Don Demetrius all received medical attention afterwards from various people, including Sir Aer’dir of the Paladins.

 

    III. Comments on Incident

 

• Due to the comments on stealing souls and their general look and demeanor, and based on my research, I believe these constructs to have been Paleknights.

  • If not Paleknights, they are most likely some form of rouge golems.

• Princess Lydia informed me afterwards that these same constructs have attacked Minitz. We decided it wise to inquire around the nations to see if they have bothered others, and if so, which nations, to look for patterns. I will work with the Legate’s Office on this initiative.

• We should likely keep the injured, especially Princess Augustina and Don Demetrius, under supervision due to this “soul draining”.

HIS EXELLENCY, Robert Joseph de Lyons, Magister of the Kingdom of Balian

[oryP 972]

The young heir sat within the confinements of Marsana’s keep, in particular his quarters. Tucked beneath his sheets. He held an expression of sorrow, both physically and mentally drained from the attack last saints day. “Y must be strong.” He muttered to himself repeatedly, as if he had been a broken record.

A wolf like construct would laugh as he had escaped with their bounty!

Deep within a distant, cruel stone, the Stone Rex laid, his vessel slowly remolding itself after the interruption of his honor klomp.
