(This may not be the right subforum, but it involved an RP plotline. Admins, please move accordingly.)
For those who did not hear the news yet, someone's character died over the weekend. A character who had a lot of connections through all the cities.
I just want to clear up any misconceptions about what happened, because this was a completely unexpected twist in the plot-line.
The one who died was the attacker. The one who fired was the defender. The defender was completely in the right for their actions. They were defending Grand Company property from an assault of a neighboring city state.
The defender in this case had no intention to kill the attacker. This person was not even aware of the death until much later. This needs to be said to clear the air before anyone jumps to conclusions. It was the attacker's own decision to make the wound be fatal AFTER they escaped, and due to complications - not FROM the wound itself.
I've seen a little bit of IC anger already against the defender. Before this person risks some sort of ostracization due to OOC/IC bleed through, I wanted to head these emotions off for all involved. It is not fair to them.
