I was enjoying a quiet drink at the Crippled Burrick, when a commotion outside sobered me up fast.
At first I thought the Watch were there in force to arrest me, but as I quickly slipped out the
back I realised there was a fight going on that had nothing to do with me.
I watched from the shadows and saw that the Watch had finally caught up to the sorceror Malazar.
He put up a good fight, turning several of the watchmen into oily smears on the pavement before
they overwhelmed him. His magic might have been impressive, but he was only human after all, and
the heft of a blade did for him just like anyone else.
Before the Watch hauled the body off, I slipped through unseen and relieved him of the key to his
tower. Malazar's tower has long been infamous among those in my profession for the huge power
crystal (the source of his arcane power) that floats above the tower's balcony, visible to any who
approach. In the past, no-one has ever managed to steal it and live to tell the tale. Now that the
sorceror is dead, it should be a trivial task to climb the tower and nab the gem. It's got to be
worth a fortune, quite apart from any magical properties it may possess.
