Subject: Corrupted Griffon
Note: Twilus' trap worked rather well in catching the griffin but it required my help and the help of another mage to bring him down. I've been wounded by his horn but I will be ok.

In order to put in place a means for certain individuals to train their minds to resist eldritch influence, I am hereby requesting that Lismore's defenders secure a live fog-creature. The following specifications would entail an ideal specimen;

- The creature should be of a directly eldritch nature

- The creature should be moderate in size, preferably at or around the size of a humanoid.

- The creature should, ideally, be relatively strong in it's ability to affect the comfort and fear of those in it's proximity.

- The creature should not be quite so powerful that it cannot be contained.

Regular means of restraint will work until it can be transported to the laboratory in Cruentus Tower, at which point I will properly secure and imprison the creature.

The second ally of Lismore arrived today by airship, joining General O'Luain for the summit between Lismore and its two closest allies in the Skylands. While they are waiting for the meetings with the royals and various high officials, the Steel Islanders are expected to be visiting the city and be approachable for anyone interested in learning more about the various cultures that exist out in the Skylands. Despite the grim situation, rumor has it that Queen Cynthia plans at least one major cook out in front of the alchemy guild during her stay!

Guard report: Investigated the tendrils again near the entrance to new eden.. This time it seemed more active... The fog that seeped from it had a chilling feel of a thousand little freezing hands pulling at my feet. Bryce and I ventured further in and the fog rose above our heads and that same chilling feeling was there.. I could see faces in the fog that were whispering for me to just give in and all suffering would end well ive got a wife and family to return to so no way i'd ever listen to that. I used a wind spell to force the fog away after I felt a tentacle on my foot and heard a hideous voice, only for my blade to hit the carpace of what looked oddly like a bug creature similar to those that the renegades have yet it looked more alien. This creature definitely didnt seem to be made from the fog but it seemed like it was teleported here by it. The creature had around 4 arm claws, one of them struck me in the shoulder and dug rather deep, im lucky Bryce and a cheetah woman were there because I could barely handle it after the initial moment of surprise where the creature was right in my face. It had a hardened carpace and still bled greenish blood which might be unusual for something that came out of the fog. Both Bryce and the cheetah woman weakened the creature to the point I could use a wind spell to propel myself and knock the creature over the ledge. Unfortunately I will be incapacitated for a while.

Lucient has been sentenced by Captain Amalia Solis; he is not to be served alcohol within the city for the duration of the fog conflict, or until told otherwise, and additionally will be required to assist/work at the tavern until damages are paid.

No further sentencing will be made at this time, in light of Lucient's recent service in the defense of the Empire.
