They seemed genuine to her, which perversely made her more worried. This wasn't a case of mistaken identity. The more she heard, the more she thought none of them were the killer. No city guard was THAT incompetent, unless they were ordered to be.They were looking for a scapegoat, not a real killer, and that was bad news. It wouldn't be hard to prove innocence to a court that cared about innocence. But this court just wanted a head in a noose, and anyone's would do. She just had to make sure it wasn't hers."I stayed at the Oak's Bough," she explained. "I had a drink...stayed talking to the bartender for a bit, asking about the city, then went to bed. The man at the bar, I didn't ask his name, but he was a broad man, with russet and gray hair and a thick beard. He might remember me. It seemed a fairly quiet night there."(Bluff (again, for performance value rather than to actuall 'lie') 19  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2382451/" target="_blank">Roll Lookup</a> )</blockquote>
