The brown-eyed, blond-haired female was scouring Cordor South when she heard the rumors from a few bruised deckhands passing by her near the shipyard.

"Oi, that guard was a tough 'un.. but lotso fun, eh, mate?!"

"Aye.. just 'ope we ain't got our names on no list, eh? 'e didn' 'ear ya, did 'e, Maxi?"

"Oh, no.. no.. 'course not! Do I look stupid t' ye?"

"Aye. Y'do. But didja 'ear? 'e said there was another 'un.. armored females, robbin' nobles.. y' don' say! I ain't heard o' somethin' like that in years, Maxi."

"Aye. S'worrisome, i'tis."



She came out from her crouched position behind a few overturned, empty barrels of ale, sighing deeply. Thinking heavily on subjects best left for those with a knack for big words and deep breaths, Samantha was getting overwhelmed quickly..

What.. did I do..?

No. . . no . . . what am I Going to do? Gods. . . it's true . . .

..and only knowing one thing, the woman now dressed in black clothes and dented helmet trudged along the roads home.. she was too afraid to risk a boat-ride. She had to return to Kohlingen, quickly but carefully, and figure it all out from there.

Alex reads one of the notices; his first reaction is indignity that he isn't listed as a wanted man too, but it passes as he realizes he isn't a wanted man too. It didn't really matter anyway, since he wasn't about to go and start correcting people on what happened. It was better this way, he figured.

Nevertheless, he sets off southwards to the Brogendenstein boat, figuring he'll spend a few weeks out of town.

After slipping into Mayfields for a few quick minutes in the dead of night, giving the innkeeper a few coins to make sure noone knew she was there, and avoiding anyone else that might recognize her.. then Samantha slipped off to The Keep to return Lady Ashlynn's sword to a guard and leave it there for her to find..

Walking out of Kohlingen's gates she sighed. Was this going to be the last time she was here? Regardless, she was very grateful that she had woken up, however grumpily, for all those lessons about wilderness survival and solo-travel. Now she was really going to need to remember them.

It is announced that an arrest has been made, an individual who's name has not yet been released to the public. It's stated that the person caught confessed to the Crime. His trial is pending.

The investigation continues, however, as the guard is on the look out for his two possible 'accomplices'.
