Episode: Siege Stories VI
Posted by Story on 05/04/17
A fearful, angry lynch mob dragging along a handful of citizens accused of being in league with the Bringers was defused in the Upper Boroughs. Lady Juliet Fidante, along with generous Princess Katarina and Princess Seva Thrax did well to grab the crowd's attention and steer them towards more peaceful and orderly resolution, which allowed them to address grievances and refute accusations one by one.
Asher Morrlin spoke more discreetly to a few ears in the crowd, but they seemed resolutely indignant, particularly a few shady characters, that the street rat decided to keep an eye on. Guardsman Merek kept the peace until it became necessary to leap into action and force the last violent protesters to flee.
The accused were set free. The Prodigals among them refused to return to their home in the Lowers, and a merchant's house had a number of windows shattered that very evening after. But no one was murdered in the public square that day.
