[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Niall] hello, my friends and comrades in exile I hope you know that money is a tainted thing itself
[Niall] and that money cannot possibly purify our beloved altar.
[Niall] master hekus obviously does not plan on purifying our altar
[Niall] by taking our money he is only weaking puddleby's commerce
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Niall] he is a theif and should be punnished accordingly
[Niall] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Niall
[Haengemie] Master Hekus, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Master Hekus] Master Hekus sighs.
[Master Hekus] I have been training exiles to Heal for almost ten years.
[Master Hekus] With no pay, and little thanks.
[Master Hekus] I have never cheated anybody, and never will.
[Master Hekus] It was not my idea to purify the altar -- it was the will of the exiles.
[Master Hekus] If you don't want to, I won't.
[Master Hekus] I'm perfectly happy to rebuild the altar without purification.
[Master Hekus] That's what I was doing when I was asked to stop.
[Master Hekus] The purification ingredients are very expensive, as I warned.
[Master Hekus] I am extremely annoyed to be brought to court.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Master Hekus] done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Master Hekus
[Haengemie] Niall, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Niall] i would like to ask you what purification does, and why you cannot get the materials for free
[Niall] by having us the exiles look for them to reair our beloved altar
[Niall] take this from me, a fellow healer that he might not be all he says he is
[Niall] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Niall
[Haengemie] Master Hekus, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Master Hekus] The purification materials, like many major magic items, are very expensive.
[Master Hekus] One of the major materials, as any mystic can tell you, is copper itself.
[Master Hekus] That's why it forms the basis of our economy -- its magic power.
[Master Hekus] There are many other materials, but that is not important.
[Master Hekus] If you do not care to donate, then don't.
[Master Hekus] I am sick of this harassment.
[Master Hekus] Perhaps I should return to the healer temple, and redistribute the money I've collected so far.
[Master Hekus] I demand a frivolous verdict and a maximum sentence.
[Master Hekus] done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Master Hekus
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

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