A quartet of burly deputies bursts in, closely followed by the night watchman.
With great ease, the night watchman grabs you and shackles your wrists.
"There you are! We don't tolerate your crimes in Wehnimer's Landing, no we don't! Come along now!" says the night watchman.
The night watchman then drags you off.
Arriving at the jail, the night watchman strips you of your possessions, opens a strong ironbound door and throws you bodily to the darkness within the door. "There thou wilt remain until the judge has words with thee!" he chortles gleefully.
With a dull thud and rattle of keys in a lock, the door closes and locks, leaving you trapped within.
In the distance you hear the night watchman say, "There are clothes on the floor if you want them, but I expect them to be returned. You have two weeks time to clear out of here and collect your belongings. After two weeks I like to clean out the clutter in my office."
[Wehnimer's, Jail Cell]

Dirty walls surround you, and a metal-banded door blocks your only exit. From somewhere in the darkness you can hear the sound of a creature moving about. You also see a pair of fruit-stained trousers and a fruit-stained tunic.

Your body relaxes as your thoughts stray from the shadows.

A passing guard yells, "Your a handsome woman, but a bit old for me."

You lose your extra internal fortitude.

You ask, "Old?"

You notice your blood flow go back to normal.
>gasp
You gasp.
>'I'm not old!

You exclaim, "I'm not old!"

The lock rattles for a moment, the door opens, and Excire comes flying into the jail cell.
>yell I am not!
You belt out, "I am not!"

You blink.

You hear the metallic rattle of keys and a door suddenly swings open. A portly deputy then trundles into the room. Deftly, he catches you by the arm and throws you into the midst of a formidable group of the town's militia.
You are quickly escorted to the Landing's Moot Hall and stood before the judge.
[Wehnimer's, Courtroom]
The courtroom is uncomfortably chilly and plainly furnished. Several benches are lined up to face a raised platform at the far end of the room. The town magistrate dispenses justice, swiftly and summarily, seated in the straightbacked chair behind a simple table on the platform. An armed guard leans against the wall, next to the door, looking casual but ready for trouble should it arise. You also see a curtained entryway.
Obvious exits: out
The judge studies you carefully, then motions toward the bailiff who cries out, "Here before ye is the malefactor Erienne.
The bailiff says, "Erienne is charged with 1 count of murder. This 1 crime carries a total fine of 26460 silvers."
The judge glances at you and says, "Murders, thefts, and petty crime. Don't matter to me, you'll do your time. The fine is large, but not big enough. If you don't like it, well that's just tough." He then smiles to himself, obviously enjoying his little rhyme. He then continues, "Now that you've had your fun, it's my turn! Guilty on all counts! You're lucky I don't throw in a few more for good measure!"
He continues, "I've decided that I'm not going to let you serve community service, so don't get your hopes up. To this aim, you may either pay the fine of 26460 silvers plus any other outstanding debts you may owe, or serve a total of 21 minutes of incarceration. You may ANSWER me either FINE or INCARCERATION as your choice. But I digress. Choose quickly, now, lest I hold you in contempt of court for wasting my time."
>'You must have been looking in the wrong direction
You say, "You must have been looking in the wrong direction."
>'oh my
You say, "Oh my."
>answer fine
The judge nods curtly and says, "You have 22 minutes to pay it off, otherwise your seized property will be sold to raise the funds. You may now leave."
A judge says, "Have you considered a tummy tuck?"
>
You feel the inner strength leave you.
>gawk
Your jaw drops.
>
* Kadesha joins the adventure.
>
You feel the gathering of nature's power leave you.
>'No?
You ask, "No?"
