Unfortunately we as the City Watch are a bit limited in our response. I send out patrols of six to eight men. Since communications are unreliable we hire harkers who shout loudly when a crime is witnessed or reported. The hark is heard by another and soon all voices are raised. This summons my guards to the scene.
Punishments basically fit the crime.
The dungeons are a place where repeat and serious criminals come to be. The brig, a lesser stockade is used for minor offenders and nuissance criminals. Of course the gallows and the chopping block await those who have been sentenced to death. So while in my town of Urntorch I bid thee to take heed of the law. I do not wish to see you back here in the blacksmith's shackles.
