A/N; So here it is, the next chapter. I've noticed as I right this, I love to insult Merlin, which is weird as he is one of my favourite characters. Meh, its still good fun.
I keep getting distracted by other fic ideas though, mainly the companion to this, A Guide to Combating Magic, co-written by Kripkeisgod (and I agree with your odd guest comment GWAINE). That should be up either today or tomorrow.
Warnings: Nothing specific.
Evidence
When pulling off a plot, if you have to resort to removing the odd intelligent or lucky guard, make sure you leave as much evidence as possible. Leaving a body out in plain view with obvious wounds has two obvious advantages.
First advantage is that it causes a distraction. Everyone from the royals to that idiotic apprentice physician will be so curious about how and why the victim was attacked and how he died to worry about what you are up to. Sure the brainless guards and knights will be on the lookout for a killer but that's no matter. They will never catch you.
The second advantage is that it scares people and reminds them of your power, even if they are unaware that you are the killer. The second greatest power, after magic, is fear. Nothing, not love, loyalty, nothing tastes greater than fear when it rolls of your enemies.
Don't just leave it to bodies. Leaving out poultices, obvious magic boxes of ash, magical bracelets will rarely be found and if they are, no-one will connect them to you. And like the bodies, they are guarantied to frighten the masses.
So make sure that you leave evidence all over the place. Don't worry about being caught; there is more chance of the Prince of Camelot's servant having magic then a guard or royal catching you in the act.
A/N: No comment, Morgana.
