Chapter 1.10
Relc and Klbkch subdue Pisces and attempt to execute him. Erin Solstice intervenes, saving his life by successfully claiming her inn is an independent entity entirely outside of Liscor's jurisdiction.
Relc and Klbkch confront Pisces at the inn, leading to a violent clash between the guardsmen and the [Mage]. During the struggle, Pisces demonstrates his magical prowess and reveals that his general [Mage] class is over level twenty. Despite his formidable abilities, Relc and Klbkch ultimately manage to overpower and subdue him.
Once Pisces is physically restrained, Relc prepares to execute him on the spot. Unwilling to let someone be killed in her establishment, Erin Solstice actively intervenes to stop the guardsmen. To protect Pisces from summary execution, Erin boldly asserts that her inn is an independent entity that exists entirely outside the legal jurisdiction of Liscor and its Council.
Faced with this declaration, Klbkch analyzes the situation and concedes to the legal technicality. He acknowledges that the Watch possesses no official authority to carry out an execution within the bounds of Erin's independent inn. Legally blocked from taking lethal action, Relc is forced to stand down, and Pisces's life is spared. This confrontation officially establishes the inn as a neutral sanctuary outside of the city's laws.

“I have only ever done what I loved. Slay me as well, you thoughtless fools. Just like all of my kind. One day—one of us will follow Az’kerash.”
“That’s what I think of your spells. I’m a former soldier of the 4th Wing of the Liscorian Army. I’ve killed more [Mages] than you have levels. Now, are you going to die quiet or will I have to pay for painting the walls red with your blood?”
“Nice last words. But remember—your Necromancer died here. Miles from this very spot. The Tidebreaker was his end.”
“Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well, this is outside your jurisdiction! You said it yourself—you don’t patrol my inn! Therefore, it is my inn, and I deny your city’s authority here!”
“I don’t care! You don’t kill people just because they practice stupid magic! And you don’t kill people just because you don’t like them! And you don’t kill people because killing people is wrong!”
“He didn’t want to tell you the truth! But he and I both know what happens to [Necromancers]. We—any mage possessing even a single level in the class—are all killed on sight in this part of the world! There’s no mercy for my kind here. The legacy of the Necromancer of Terandria, Az’kerash, lingers. Especially here, where his armies once sieged Liscor.”
“…I believe I am incorrect. Relc, the Watch has no authority here. This is an independent inn, and the [Innkeeper] is allowed to deny our authority here.”
“Not likely. I’m gutting you like a fish right here.”
“I can’t believe this. Are you defending him? Because he’s Human? Or do you not want the blood in here? In that case, I’ll take him out back and—”
