Report Number 554

Assisting Officer Gerald Caddel

Vitili Woods location, Guard Station 24

Unit 4-22

During an observational shift, on the night of 24 March at 2:20 AM Southern time, Officer Jannik Elrod and I came into contact with an unknown intruder. For the rest of this document, the "intruder" will be referred to as such, as he refused to identity himself. The encounter ended with no casualties, but it is of the upmost importance that I reiterate the violent and unpredictable nature that was on display by this "man".

On a standard outside patrol, I came across an unidentified corpse that was splayed out over a rune dug into the dirt. The body had no discernable features and appeared to be dead for quite some time. The rune itself was advanced, but I was unable to identity which spell it was supposed to cast. On my return to the station, Officer Jannik Elrod was missing from his designated post. He did not appear at any time during my patrol. When he returned, the intruder was following behind him. He cracked the door frame when he pulled himself through with his right hand. He was wearing an Alkahestian victory burial armor set that was outdated by several years. He easily apprehended both I and Officer Jannik Elrod and proceeded to destory desks, tables and file cabinets. The intruder did not identify himself, but asserted that he is planning to cause significant harm to the kingdom, elected officials, and the Royal Family themselves. He also asserted that we were on the same side, and urged us to take action against our superiors. The intruder stole documents pertaining to the "Angel"(File number 490, Report 660), and quickly attempted to leave. When I followed behind, intending to stop him, I was rendered unconcious. Officer Jannik Elrod, who was awake during that time, reports that my injuries were caused by a backhand. I have a concussion, a minor neck fracture, and bruising on most of my arms. Officer Jannik Elrod reported his arms are in a similar state, and a fratured back that he is currently on leave for.

Investigation of the scene in the morning showed that the body is now missing from their original spot, but the rune remains intact. Despite access, the intruder did not steal any other documents. Much of this is paraphrased, but I believe the intruder is the one responsible for the reports of corpses all along the southern half of Ushire. The body I found outside was very old, but preserved. The reports I've attached that reference this say much of the same. Much of this is purely speculative, but I urge you to dedicate a taskforce to hunt this "man" down before he causes any more damage. He is delusional and easily set off, with an apparent knowledge of complicated and advanced runes. It would be incredibly ill advised to leave this person to his own devices.
