Witch-hunters

Symbol of the Witch-hunters

The Witch-hunters are Lord Shaid's personal guard. To this point they have only been briefly in contact with our intrepid adventurers.

The party first encountered when they attacked Horace and his erstwhile companion Jackal. Three crossbowmen with masks bearing the symbol of the Witch-hunters (which Horace remembered later) attacked them as they were returning to the group.

They next encountered someone related to the Witch-hunters when Ali stopped to "rescue" a man being mugged by two ruffians. When he ran away he dropped the money pouch the ruffians were after. When Ali retrieved it, it had a snake wrapped around a dagger embroidered on it. At the time no one new what it represented, but later found it to be the Witch-hunter's symbol.

Their third encounter involved Xandessa and Sedgewick making an unplanned and ill-advised attack on their stronghold. Two Witch-hunters were killed or grievously wounded before the attack was repelled.
