second trial

[airlockedmods]

[Like last week the announcement sounds, the Champions with their gathered evidence file once again to the teleporter where the courtroom waits for them.

The a circle of podiums has changed since last week. The Griffin, Toby, and Angelica's floating portraits have joined Chintanda's above their respective podiums as well as the bright green having been changed to a glaring red.

The Overseers are waiting on their floating platform when the first group of Champions arrive. They're back in their black suits, side by side. Jamie's expression is grim but he looks more mentally present than the last trial. Bolton, on the other hand, looks stern but not grim, arms crossed over his chest. Once again, he's the one who makes the announcement.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Sixteen of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only fifteen of you will leave. Compile your evidence and figure out who the killer is. If you vote correctly, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs. If you vote wrong, however, the killer goes free and the rest of you take the punishment in their place.

Remember, there is no time limit but keeping things interesting is in your best interests.

My thoughts exactly.

We ought to burn his belongings. I'm sure our Overseers were quite cautious about the possibility of parts of him surviving, but I'll take no chances with evil like that.

[Now might be a good time to remember one of his job titles is Chief Inquisitor...]

[almightyconflagration]

Or with that disease of his. [Because the last person they need picking that up is him.] I'll help.

[misplacedxsheath]

He claimed it doesn't spread so easily, but the words of the Serpent are often laced with poison. I'll be glad for the assistance.

[almightyconflagration]

Agreed. He might have lied to ensure all of us get it as a last laugh.

[misplacedxsheath]

And even if we are being overly cautious and there's no true danger to his possessions, I'll feel better with every last remnant of his presence purged from this place.

[refusedtoleave]

If it can spread, then fire would stop it.

[misplacedxsheath]

Along with purifying any spiritual contaminants that may remain, yes. Whatever twisted legacy he may have attempted to leave behind, it won't survive.

[refusedtoleave]

Lets just hope he hasn't hidden anything away.

[misplacedxsheath]

If he has, we'll find it. I'd be a poor Inquisitor if I couldn't track down seeds of evil planted by one as foul as that.

[refusedtoleave]

As long as you're as competent as you sound...
