The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[NPCs]

She hums thoughtfully, then nods in acknowledgement before looking over at Elder Marchuc. "You said they attacked you- wee you injured? If so, where and how badly?"

[Carver Amell]

"She hit me with a stick. I'm fine."

[NPCs]

"She hit-" Marthuc stops, shaking his head. "Very well. It sounds like the charge attacking is settled, as well as the mai-"

"My girl's face is ruined!" A male elf of middle year shouts. "She might never marry now. I want compensation for having to take care of her. Or for magics to fix it!" The young woman with the scarf looks stricken at her father's reaction. 

[Carver Amell]

"Why? It matches her heart now," snaps Carol.

[Marian Hawke]

Marian puts a hand on Carol's arm. "Let's just finish this trial, okay?"

[Carver Amell]

Carol snatches her arm away, scowling.

[Varric]

That remark gets... a much less approving reaction from the crowd. "Now now, Carol. I admit that it's hard to feel sympathetic to bullies, particular those that cross the line into poisoning people with potentially lethal substances, but it's rude to point how terrible their ethical upbringing was in public. I mean... wow. Three on one, with weapons and poison? Wow."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"As this seems to be wrapping up, I would like to ask a few questions of the accuser under a Truthing as well for the crimes of assault and attempted murder. The other two that were present as well." Paladins are gonna paladin and Lightsong is not about to let them walk free on that crime.

[Merrill]

Merrill, who has yet to raise her eyes from the ground, release Marian or Carol's hands or speak, gasps softly in shock. They... they think it was wrong for them to hurt me? Me?

[Marian Hawke]

"Agreed," says Marian. "And I would encourage Merrill to press this under Nyran law, rather than rely on local justice. I doubt very much she'll get a fair trial here."

[Bethany]

Marian... maybe not challenge them to call the Nryan guard? Especially given that we're all sorta wanted by them for various things? "Car, do you see the three bullies in the crowd?" she asks, hoping to head that line of thought off.

[Carver Amell]

"Yes: Her, her, and her."

[NPCs]

There's a slight stir when the prettiest of the three is fingered out and Elder Jorim stiffens. "She must be lying- she's broken the enchantments," he insists. 

[Varric]

"Simple enough to determine that," Varric says cheerfully. "I'm sure at least a few of you can detect magic, yeah? Might even been one or two of you that can detect enchantments specifically."

[Carver Amell]

"I am not! Merrill, who attacked you?" she asks, of the girl standing close enough to be in the truthings.
