Lord Juramis (the merchant) actually avoided being poisoned, and Emissary Johlias was poisoned instead because he demanded to taste the chowder (some of you might remember him from Ebon Gate last year). Chef Yhekrahq was eventually apprehended for the crime after overwhelming evidence was found against him, and also for several counts of assault on visitors to Mist Harbor. He was placed in the stocks until transport could be arranged for him to face trial in Selanthia.

Things did not turn out quite as planned, however, and Yhekrahq was killed by a deathwort poisoned crossbow bolt from the shadows. The death of the fugitive was shrugged off by local law enforcement, and the Imperial Emissaries were relieved that the burden of transporting the criminal to Selanthia was no longer on their shoulders. His body turned black from the poison, and decayed rapidly.

Following the events, a local known as Dolgin was approached by a group of adventurers and is suspected of using the deathwort. The local law has made it clear that they have no intention of arresting Dolgin without solid proof. He currently remains in good standing with local authorities, regardless of his prior escapades.

Blow glances off the kobold's shoulder.
