This page, originally written by Yisabelle, has been revised by myself to be instated among new watcher policies.
Simple bar-brawling and typical scuffles will result in an arrest and then a 10 silver bail opportunity. If the fine cannot be paid, the law-breaker will spend the day in jail to pay for their crime.
Like theft, repeated assault will result in an increased fine or jail time sentence up one day per 10 silver, and 10 silver up to a maximum of 50 silver.
Assault on a watcher will result in an immediate jump to 50 silver bail after arrest, if the bail cannot be paid then the offender will spend the maximum sentence of five days in jail.
The severing of a limb, ruthless beating, carving of flesh, torture, or any sort of unnecessary harsh violence beyond simple fighting could result in the case being classified as attempted murder.
Wanted criminals present in the arrests will not be given standard sentence, and will receive full punishment for other crimes on-top of current crimes.
The victim of the crime can choose not to condemn the criminal, which will result in no jail-time or bail.
