JUSTICE SHALL COME

~Capturing one of the Cultists (see below for better description of their appearance)~
((skin blanked out b/c you should be a true gamer and use my ms paint drawing instead and not metagame based on a skin from a screenshot))

Recently, one of the Darkspawn-loving cultists returned to Bywater, complaining that our missive ruined their ability to settle any place else and that multiple darkspawn-hunting groups have been after them. Knowing this, as an act of mercy, us halflings of Bywater hereby offer a FAIR AND HONEST TRIAL to the cultist coven.

 

The terms are simple. Come to trial and ye shall be offered a chance to make your case, argue your innocence, and make your pleas. Refuse to come to trial and ye shall be HUNTED BY ADVENTURERS AND DRIVEN INTO THE UNCIVILIZED WILDERNESS where unrepentant cultists belong.

The following groups are called to observe the trial:

 

~The Druids of the Vale, who originally drove these cultists from their lands~
~The Shamans of Krugmar, whose knowledge of darkspawn will serve the trial well~
~The Paladins of Almaris, for similar reasons~
~The halflings of Bywater, who will provide the jails and courtroom for the trial~
~Adventurers and friendly bigguns who can keep the peace~
~The Cultists themselves, who are to stand trial~
~Any lawyers and legal experts of Almaris who wish to serve on the prosecution or defense~

In the event that ye cannae provide a lawyer of your own, us halflings can offer you a public defender. The trial is to take place next Pumpkin Day. Be there!

~Mimosa Applefoot,

Mayor of Bywater.

 

((EVENT 1 PM EST TOMORROW, SUNDAY THE 19th OF FEBRUARY, 2023.
Not guaranteed to occur, keep that in mind))

 

[!] An additional sheet of paper is attached:

TO YE DARKSPAWN HUNTERS:

In the event all of the cultists do not come to trial, use the below descriptions to find them and bring them to justice!

 

SUSPECT 1:

An elven man with grey pupils and fair skin colour. He usually wears a grey shirt with a green sash and darker grey pants. He was recently apprehended in Bywater yet escaped from jail due to poor jail security.

I don't know much of his personality besides that he doesn't burn when aurum is thrown at him. He will try to run away from you if you ever see him.

SUSPECT 2:

An elven woman with pinkish purple hair equally colorful clothing, and darker skin tone. She is frequently barefoot. I've forgotten their eye color, t'was probably a bright color of some sort. She is missing a hand due to fights with Necromancers (I think it was? Or was it snakes?), probably over dominance or something.

She has some old religious trauma or something. You could probably convert her back to the way of the light with enough effort. As it stands, she has some strange psychological complex which convinces her that her soul is damned no matter what and that she is beyond saving. This is a lie that the others tell to her and that she tells herself.

SUSPECT 3:

The blue-skinned horned devil is so iconic as to not need a drawing. He is a 'cursed child' or whatever, as the druids say. It has nothing to do with him being a darkspawn; he is cursed to look like a devil due to his unfortunate birth, yet he chose to walk the path of darkness later in life.

This is the darkspawn to which the cultists pledge their souls out of fear of the afterlife. He is beyond saving.

SUSPECT ???:
There's probably more. I don't remember all of them.

 

I will let you monster-hunters know if any of the suspects clears their name through the FAIR and JUST Bywater court system.

~Mimosa Applefoot,

Mayor of Bywater.
