To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Tarf] We were in the udine hut and Lilit began chanting and doing weird stuff
[Tarf] Before we knew it, people had fallen, as usual
[Tarf] This wench did everything in her power to kill exiles
[Tarf] and lured undine and wraths into the fallen
[Tarf] so they couldnt be saved.
[Tarf] She deserves to be killed for what she has done:
[Tarf] We kill darshak, and noids, and myrms for less.
[Tarf] We are trying to make puddle safe
[Tarf] and we dont need the likes of her
[Tarf] witness: poe shroom
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Poe Shroom, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Poe Shroom. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Poe Shroom, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Poe Shroom] It was horrible
[Poe Shroom] It was horrible
[Poe Shroom] many were left dead for 20 minutes
[Poe Shroom] not a very happy experience
[Poe Shroom] I feel much anger towards lilit for this
[Poe Shroom] she ruined our hunt
[Poe Shroom] and put us all in worse moods I believe
[Poe Shroom] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Poe Shroom
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] When the infidels stormed into the sanctuary, killing everything in sight...
[Lilit] ...it was then that Goddess became angry, and sent wraiths to punish them.
[Lilit] I've made it clear that the sanctuary is unsafe at night.
[Lilit] But still people come to the sanctuary to harrass me, and stop my work.
[Lilit] My work against the Darshak, no less!
[Lilit] The sanctuary is not a hunting ground.
[Lilit] There was no "hunt" in progress, a Poe implies...
[Lilit] They came into the sanctuary, and got more than they bargained for, because of their deeds.
[Lilit] Do not enter the sanctuary, and this will not happen.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Tarf] She claims she works with undine, rthen why do they attakc her?
[Tarf] And why is it necessary to kill exiles?
[Tarf] And how is her black magic helping puddleby?
[Tarf] How can killing ewxiles be inthe interest of Puddleby?
[Tarf] She is witch and must be burned like one!
[Tarf] witness: chimba
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Chimba, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] My works are not "black magick" as Tarf so ignorantly states...
[Lilit] It is clear he brings this case against me because he is intolerant...
[Lilit] Intolerant of those with different beliefs.
[Lilit] His remark about being a witch shows that.
[Lilit] This court should not be a venue for religious persecution.
[Lilit] Let us leave such things back on the mainland with Mobius.
[Lilit] To prove my good intent, I call a character witness.
[Lilit] witness: MichaelAridfox
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Michael Aridfox, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Michael Aridfox. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Michael Aridfox, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Michael Aridfox] I do indeed know this Tarf and like him well.
[Michael Aridfox] But you have heard them both speak.
[Michael Aridfox] I hear but one who speaks with a measure
[Michael Aridfox] of bloodlust
[Michael Aridfox] and calls for the death of exiles.
[Michael Aridfox] It is not Lilit.
[Michael Aridfox] I know not what god or goddes, if any, Tarf worships.
[Michael Aridfox] But it appears to me that Lilit's goddess is no figment of the imagination.
[Michael Aridfox] And sanctuaries are not to be violated without recourse.
[Michael Aridfox] Divine recourse.
[Michael Aridfox] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Michael Aridfox
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you innocent. You are free to go.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
