[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Karzak] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Karzak
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] They violate the sanctuary...
[Lilit] They disrespect the rites...
[Lilit] They interfere in my work against the Darshak...
[Lilit] And they blame me for the consequences!
[Lilit] This nonsense of prosecution wearies all involved.
[Lilit] Time and time again, I am brought here...
[Lilit] And with few exceptions, my right to persue my work is honored.
[Lilit] I ask the jurors to send a message to those who waste time with this endevors.
[Lilit] The court is no place to resolve these matters.
[Lilit] I am not a criminal.
[Lilit] I am a servant of the Goddess.
[Lilit] I fight the Darshak. What would you do to stop them?
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit

[Karzak] witness: althea
[Haengemie] Thank you, Karzak
[Haengemie] Althea, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Althea. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Althea, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Althea] many of you were there. but let me state for the record:
[Althea] I saw lilit pushing troy to the dark cave
[Althea] myself and several exiles tried to stop her.
[Althea] we were unsuccessful
[Althea] she is specifically targetting exiles
[Althea] she has no right.
[Althea] we did not grant her, through referendum
[Althea] the right to tell us where to be or not be
[Althea] she also called the increased spawns we saw in there.
[Althea] banish her. she doesn't deserve the towns protection
[Althea] done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Althea
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] I ask the juros to tend to one thing...
[Lilit] I ask the jurors to tend to one thing...
[Lilit] Is my defense of the sanctuary a criminal matter?
[Lilit] Is it not known that those who enter do so at great risk?
[Lilit] I do not seek redress in these courts...
[Lilit] Though I am wronged at every turn.
[Lilit] I increase no spawns. I am but a messenger.
[Lilit] Those who violate the rites incur divine wrath.
[Lilit] I try to warn, I try to dissuade, but few listen.
[Lilit] If you turn in anything but innocent...
[Lilit] ...you encourage the use of these courts in a manner which will undermine them.
[Lilit] Twice in a night I am called here!
[Lilit] Once aquitted!
[Lilit] When does the persecution stop?
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] Be reasonable, good jurors!
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] On Autumn 336 of 537, Lilit was found guilty, being charged with being an evil servant of the undine.
[Haengemie] Jury, please note: 2 prior convictions 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 22 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 390 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (311c) as additional jail-time of 40 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
