[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5849537, member: 52403"] [b]Courtroom day 2[/b] The day dawns overcast, drizzle moistens the air and the wind blows from the mountains making it a cold day. They approach the courthouse having had a disappointing breakfast of oatmeal (porridge) with dried fruit and honey with a side of hot sweet coffee and cream. (Personally I would love this for breakfast) The party is very tired with only a few hours sleep; Grembor heads off to see if he can find some replacement healing and something to help with the fatigue while the rest head to the courthouse. The courthouse is very busy with a large amount of people sitting outside; if it was a carnival atmosphere yesterday the crowds have doubled this morning. There are food salesmen walking through the crowd selling suspicious looking meat in a bun; or rat on a stick. …. Kids love em!!! They make their way to the courthouse and meet up with Gustav who is ecstatic with the sheer amount of evidence they have recovered. However very little physical evidence is there for the case being presented today; Gustav is hoping that by presenting the new evidence they will be able to get some leniency from the judges on today’s proceedings. Grembor returns feeling much better just before the court starts fully and nods to the rest of the party; today Kat is presenting the evidence. [B]10:00 a.m.:[/B] The Trial of the Beast resumes. Chief Justice Khard asks the prosecution to outline the details of the alleged events in Hergstag. [B]10:30 a.m.:[/B] Witnesses for the Prosecution. The prosecution describes the events that transpired in Hergstag 7 months ago, alleging that the Beast slew six children and, when caught, was driven from the village. Otto calls three former residents of Hergstag, the sisters Garrow, Starle, and Flicht, to give their eyewitness testimony of events in the village. [B]12:30 p.m.: [/B]Witnesses for the Defense. Gustav calls Kat to present any evidence they found in Hergstag. Kat stands up nervously and pauses for a few minutes as she collects her thoughts; knowing they have very little to present to the court on this matter. Eventually after several nervous coughs from the judges and some rather obscene catcalls from the gallery she presents the few items they have. She explains the evidence they have from the sisters Garrow, Starle, and Flicht and how they have a slightly different story. How the Beast was found bringing Elsa back into town; noticing the Beasts face creasing in a grimace Kat realises it’s crying not smiling and points this out to the judges. Additionally the points are raised that while they drove out the Beast; two days later the last child died in her bed on the 2nd floor; the window was closed, doors were locks and there was no signs of forced entry. There were also no signs of any wounds on the child; the parent was in the room within minutes of the child starting to scream; surely there would be evidence of the Beast in the room if the Beast had done the deed. While they were investigating the hamlet of Hergstag they were attacked by a wraith child; this might suggest that a wraith was at fault and not the Beast as a wraith could attack and kill a child in her bed and would require no other form of entry. Kat is reminded that there however is no proof of this so they can’t take this as evidence as it’s merely conjecture on her part. She then goes on to present the other evidence they found the night before; how they traced the surgical tools they found in Morast to Vorkstag; how Vorstag and Grine were dealing in Cadavers; Vorstag’s body was brought in and the wounds of the blood caiman were shown; also the wardrobe of skins was wheeled into the courtroom and shown to the judges with the shambling man skin which also sports the results of the blood caiman bite and how the face they found in the bag also ties Vorkstag to the location. Plus the selling of cadavers and the missing bodies in the graveyard. The judges think hard on this and Gustav stutters out a request in light of these remarkable discoveries to allow evidence to be presented on today’s hearing tomorrow as well as tomorrow’s case. After a long deliberation the court agrees much to the party’s relief. [B]2:00 p.m.: [/B]Court Recess. After the trial, Gustav meets up with the party and congratulates them on a job well done; he thanks Kat directly as her excellent delivery of the evidence helped sway the judges. Gustav also reminds the group that they have to investigate Sanctuary and find evidence on Hergstag for the court by 10am tomorrow morning. Thankfully Sanctuary is only 3 miles north of the city. Grembor is raring to go as he has lost his fatigue through the use of spells and does not need to rest to recover any spells. The other three however are not really feeling the motivation and they bunk down in the courthouse as they have some suspicions that there may be trouble tonight with the angry mob from the snippets they overheard and the prevalent anger in the populace. They take their suspicions to Gustav who asks them to keep an eye on the courthouse to make sure it’s safe; they don’t like it as they have a busy night ahead of them but finally agree. [/QUOTE]
