Felonies

1) Actions Against Tribunes Within the City

Any and all actions directed by adventurers against

Tribunes are to be considered felonious crimes. This includes, but is not limited to, normally severe crimes such as theft from a Tribune, sacrificing the weapons disarmed from the Tribune, and so forth. All such crimes against the Tribune, in the city, are automatically upgraded to the level of a 'felony', and the Tribune may exact any punishment as he sees fit upon the offender being apprehended. Note that this specific charge can only be levied based on actions taken within the city proper.

2) Ranged Assault

Firing arrows into town from outside is to be considered

a felony. Not only is it an assault upon someone within the confines of a protected area, it also has the risk of instead striking citizens who might step into its path. Therefore, it has been deemed illegal, and is to be treated as a felony. The Tribune has full authority to exact punishment as he sees fit, up to and including execution.

3) Wanton Murder of Guardsmen

The guardsmen of the cities are not only citizens, they

are part of the fabric of society and the bedrock of the Tribunal. Committing wanton murder against guardsmen for any reason, even by those who have committed lesser crimes such as simply not sheathing, if repeated and intentional, can cause any crime to be immediately upgraded to the level of 'felony'.

4) Compound Felonies

If a person commits a second felony while already marked

for a first, their punishment should automatically be lifted to execution by the Tribune, unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances. In other words, for example, of the criminal murders person A in a city where murder is a felony, then commits assault in a city where assault is a felony, the two compound to necessitate the death penalty.

5) Changes to the Laws on Felonies

As per the concept of 'Flexibility of the Law' under

the tome of 'Principles of the Tribunal,' these laws may be changed at any point in time, based on the methodology enumerated under the principle stated in 'Flexibility of the Law'.

So decreed by Lord Martineius, Councillor of the Tribunal.
