[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Soulmaster] I was trying to peacefully walk though the east field, when suddenly there was a host of Undine coming
[Soulmaster] Lilit says she "protects the undine"
[Soulmaster] i dont believe that one should help pure evil
[Soulmaster] and she should leave the undine to be killed
[Soulmaster] witness: Iho
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Iho, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Iho. You have been calledto testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Iho, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Iho] I'll say what I know
[Iho] I'll say what I know
[Iho] I didn't see Lilit today around the Cavern
[Iho] But it's true that, sometimes she stays in and help the Undines a bit
[Iho] Rip, I must tell the true
[Iho] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Iho
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] Kind jurors, first let me apologize on behalf of Soulmaster for wasting your precious time...
[Lilit] This is but a witchhunt..
[Lilit] While my rites in the cavern are somewhat notorious...
[Lilit] ...I have not been near the cavern or the field this night...
[Lilit] And as far as being "evil"...
[Lilit] Lilit laughs.
[Lilit] I think we all know that is not the case.
[Lilit] To refute this, I call a noble citizen.
[Lilit] Witness: Llrendel
[Haengemie] Llrendel isn't in the courtroom. Your witness must be resent to be called.
[Lilit] Witness: Llerendel
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Llerendel, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Llerendel. You have been calledto testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Llerendel, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Llerendel] Lilit is not evil. She practices a religion which is different than ours.
[Llerendel] Lilit is not evil. She practices a religion which is different than ours.
[Llerendel] Even though she is different, that does not make her guilty.
[Llerendel] I am against witchhunts.
[Llerendel] Although some of her practices do harm others,
[Llerendel] I do not think them worthy of a courtroom conviction.
[Llerendel] Let religious tolerance reign free in Puddleby
[Llerendel] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Llerendel
[Haengemie] Soulmaster, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Soulmaster] I am not saying she is evil because she is diferent but her action got me and others killed
[Soulmaster] I was not the only one killed because of Lilit's actions. one should strive to preserve our small but great town not aid the evils within it.
[Soulmaster] the evils
[Soulmaster] i know it is a little late
[Soulmaster] but it did not occur today
[Soulmaster] bt a while back
[Soulmaster] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] Kind jurors, two evils are done in this room tonight by Soulmaster...
[Lilit] He persecutes me for my beliefs...
[Lilit] And he abuses the court system to persue his own vendettas...
[Lilit] The last case of this nature, I was found innocent.
[Lilit] I ask you this: don't you wish to see this cases stop?
[Lilit] This is your chance to make that statement.
[Lilit] Find this case frivolous, so that such nonsense can stop.
[Lilit] Lilit bows.
[Lilit] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jury, please note: one prior conviction in the past year.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Lilit's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Lilit, you are hereby sentenced to spend 43 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 214 coins.
