I don't normally respond to outright lies like this, but I'm in a mood for it, so feel blessed. Arrogant, insulting, it 'feels' like your ego just threw up all over the notice board.

His-story:
The man Quickdraw had assaulted myself and a druid, with the aid of the mage Sakhr, the day before this incident, for placing unpermitted signs in the forest???. ....Oh so because someone placed up a wooden signs in the middle of the woods, you resort to deadly force to correct this infraction? Because you didn't approve of the sign? ..sounds like a tyrant in truest form.

The mage Azu assaulted me in Bendir Dale, after I made myself known to him, and explained the rules of the forest and Bendir, regarding the use of red dragon form. Actually you were attempting to instruct a magi in the ways and use of magic, as a non-magical person, which I found most amusing. I told you that I would not bow my will nor my magic to your demands upon my person. I then attempted to walk away, using timestop to gain distance and you chased after me, firing arrows at me, so I then turned around and put you in the ground, again. Such was your doing. You do not rule over all you see, and I do not give you the right nor jurisdiction. You say you live in the area, well so do I as I spend much time along my trade routes that you now disrupt.

Regarding the incident:
I entered the forest from Bendir Dale to see a large camp, and multiple signs (both of which are not permitted in the forest), by tyrannical dictate, and recognized the two mages, Sakhr, and Azu. I drew my blade and casted some defensive spells upon myself, as they had both previously been involved in hostilities to Oakmist Vale members, you mean you, due to your past hostilities against us where we acted in self-defense. and I approached Sakhr to speak with him. I never got a word out of my mouth, correct you said nothing, just prepared for battle and ignored our warnings, in the middle of our camp, which was taken as a hostile action and dealt with accordingly with disabling spells, he immediately ran from me no he didn't, actually I think it was his spell to disable you, and Azu cast the Time Stop, after which, the two of them continued to barrage me with offensive spells. A traveler had come by, and attacked me in the spelled state I was in, and during a moment of clarity I defended myself, and swung at the traveler. The two mages continued their assault until the darkness enveloped my soul. As previously stated, the traveler finished you off because you attacked him.

1) You don't tell me not to cast in my own home, ever. You threatened us with your actions, you got the result, and for future reference don't tell us magi what to cast or not cast for you know nothing of the ways of magic.
2) You don't assault Oakmist Vale members, and then expect to be handed flowers. You assaulted us, threatened us, we merely responded to your actions.
3) You may conduct business transactions in the forest, as long as the rules are followed. Such is not your jurisdiction to limit people's business. Mind your own business.
4) Campsites in the forest are limited to one tent, and a small fire that is not to be left unattended. This is proclaimed by Malandria, Great Druid of Amia. The great tyrant perhaps in her tyrannical edicts and proclaimations did declare you can't have any camping provisions or means of doing business outside of one tent, and one campfire? Ridiculous, who puts up with this tyranny?
5) Quickdraw, Sakhr, and Azu are hereby banned from the forest. You are hereby banned from our campsites and from our business operations until you pay for damages done against ourselves and our company.
6) Anyone who aids them against Oakmist Vale members will be dealt with accordingly. Oakmist Vale will not stand for these assaults, and will react with swift and lethal action. *Crow notes the name listed* Anyone who seeks us harm is hereby warned we shall act in self-defense and bring down those who threaten us, as we have done already on this occasion.
7) You do not cast hellballs in the forest. Do not have your followers cast them in our direction, and we shall see to it they are not returned in kind.

To whom it may concern,

Regarding the recent incident in the woods, where I, the merchant known as Azu, and my coworker and fellow merchant Sakhr, were attacked at our campsite in the forests of Amia;
Criminal
Seemed a day passed in peace, as we set up camp and made some deals, a profitable endeavor we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the woods and the curious little critters that would stop by our encampment. A delightful spot to set up shop for the travelers to partake in and enjoy.
Bullshit
However this was abruptly ended with violence when the one called 'Crow', if that is his real name, decided to prepare spells in a hostile fashion in the middle of our, previously peaceful, encampment. We told him to stop casting, and he ignored our warnings, without speaking a word he continued his battle preparations with bloodthirsty wolf in toe close behind him. A battle then ensued and he was stopped for a time with various disabling spells, and then he struck another as the spell faded. A traveler who happened to go by, finally put him down as was his right as Crow had indeed attacked him.
Can't say missed this part
Sadly, there is more to this grim tale, others then amassed in numbers, it seems word got out about Crow's falling. More attacked us, right and left, one of them threw a Hellball at us in the woods and such force was replied in kind, all of those who sought us harm were brought down.
Complete and utter bullshit! Everyone that came from Bendir Dale was unaware the murders where still there. We came to raise the body of Crow, a Bendir Dale Honorary Citizen, Warden of Oakmist Vale, and Bendir Dale Militia member. They would not allow us to remove Crow from the situation, instead saying that they needed to interagate him. When that proved to difficult, trying to extorting money for his corpse so he might be raised, then having laid deadly traps near the beginning of the forest, murdering Beldor, threatening others so all who'd came on a simple mission of mercy where unenchanted, and unarmed,then THESE MURDERING SCUMBAGS used Hell Ball on a innecent passing by Hin who refused to drop his enchantments (faced by two heavily enchanted and aggressive magi who could blame him)effectively killing 7 people that where in no way threatening in any way. We wanted only to leave with Crow, and I wasn't going to simply allow you to take him for "interegation" as you called it, just a nice word for torture you sadistic bastards. Shaded ended up paying these males blood money so they would leave the corpses of the people they had murdered in peace so we could all be returned to our families and communities.
We would prefer this sort of, disruption, not occur upon our business encampments, and thereby do ask that the people involved stop showing such hostility against us simple businessmen. However, let it be known, that we shall act in self defense of our lives and our property.

Also,
p.s. We're currently hiring bodyguards due to the increased demand! So if you're interested please leave word below at Kampo's and I shall get back to you with a time to meet for an interview.
This is a bad idea for anyone!Please reconsider working for these nasty, mean murdering creepers!
Trade as Thou Wilt,

-Azu B

I saw it all, I did!

Sakhr and Azu. Quite the pair! Long time business partners, traders. Practiced wizards, both come from the same academy of magic, where even as lithe young lads they shared the same room. Together they had grown into manhood, learned the secrets of the arcane arts, performed many experiments... Of many kinds. Traders, wizards. Men of learning. Partners... In more ways than they let on to those outside the company, but appearances must be preserved for posterity.

Winter in Amia forest is cold, the two traders brought here when cast out by the wicked and accusatory stares of the small folk. Their little eyes and canny minds saw too much, comprehended too much. But here they were alone. Business was slow as the billboards didn't bring in much trade from the meager foot traffic through the Amia forest. They were alone, huddled by their fire, sitting together to share warmth of flame... And of a barely concealed passion! They were in hostile territory and they knew it. As they held their hands over the campfire to work some warmth into their fingers they each could only lightly fondle their throbbing staves, each holding in check a long overdue discharge of raw arcane power... No, no... Hostile territory. More hostile than they knew, for outside the heated glow of their fires and the comfort of their tent (they told no one that the second tent was where they kept their wares and little else... The nights were cold after all!) a wolf pack of two lurked...

Crow, stalwart defender of these cold and quiet woods, champion of the nearby Dale of the clever small folk. A paragon amongst rangers, a dark man, as rugged and virile as the great alpha wolf that loped beside his every step. With each move he made his tight leathers creaked slightly across his powerful form, but so skilled was he that it sounded as no more than a rustle of leaves in the cold winter breeze. Crow had spotted the mages as they shyly inched closer to one another: For warmth they would later tell one another... Crow plunged a hand into his quiver, drawing out a long shaft. His bow was tightly strung, maybe it had been too long since he'd drawn it... These so called "traders" were his this night! There would be no escape!

A note is pinned below the others.

[Sakhr and Azu are so evil!At last, something truthful! Way to go! They retaliated when our mob went in force to try and hurt them! We should gather another mob and go after thema mob is apparently unarmed and un-enchanted folks not attacking or threatening them in anyway!! If that doesn't work, we can just keep spreading rumors! who needs rumors when the truth soooo much more entertaining!
