Incident report: Public fighting
Gold Umaarah and Oldur were seen exchanging insults inside the Prancing Pony. Recuirt Ehrica witnessed the exchange and ordered the men to take it outside, when a fight seemed inevitable.
upon arriving outside, the men decided to fight without weapons. Recruit Ehrica took what weapons they were obviously wearing, and informed them, "If either of you ends up dead, the other will be spending time in a cell. Do you understand?" They indicated ascent.
During the fight, the man Oldur lunged at the man Gold, in an attempt to do him bodily harm. I do not know if his intent was to kill.
At this point, Gold deployed a knife from a devise on his wrist, stabbing Oldur. Oldur, though harmed, was spared serious injury by his armor. He asked to be allowed to slay Gold on the spot, but we prevented from doing so by Recruit Ehrica and Officer Janayt.
I informed both men, before they began to fight, at the time that I took their weapons, that I was with the Bree Watch.

From what I can gather, Goldgel was acting in selfe defense. Oldur is quickly becoming a problem, next time he acts up, he is to be taken to the cells. This will be his second strike.

The following was written by Third Watcher Janayt.
Goldgel: "It started as a little banter... That man, Oldur, was throwing insults at poor Barli and some guests. a woman called him out on it and he called her a wench... I asked him kindly to show at least a tiny amount of respect and he lashed out, calling me a queer and such... I did not like that. He wanted to fight, so I obliged...'
Janayt (Pointing to Ehrica). "Do you know her and were you aware she is a member of the Bree Watch?"
Goldgel: "Seen her around town. I assumed as much when she tried to cool off the debate in the tavern...I am not an idiot...'
Janayt: "Nobody implied such a thing, sir. Did she outline the conditions under which this altercation could take place, including the absence of weapons?"
Goldgel: "She just said don't kill anyone, and we are both alive."
Janayt: "Why did you use the spring operated dagger in the middle of the fight?"
Goldgel: 'He came flying at me... I panicked. He could have easily crushed a man my size to death... I defended my life.'
Janayt: "Do you have anything you would like to add to your statement, sir?"
Goldgel:"That man, Oldur... I know him to be a regular aggressor and patron of the jail... he was here last night... For fighting... but that is all..."
Janayt:"Very well, sir." (Patting the ornate dagger) "This will be returned with the rest of your weapons outside the gate. The spring loaded dagger will remain here until the Captain makes a decision on what to do with it. I will of course advise her of your cooperation subsequent to the fight."
Goldgel:, "Fine... I shall take my leave then."
Janayt: "No more fighting Oldur!"
