I was having fun fighting with people on my Dais and I was about to kill some idiot named Vystra when this happens.
A sudden fierce gust of wind howls through the area!
You are buffeted by the wind and knocked to the ground!
You are forced out of hiding.

[Ta'Illistim, Hanging Gardens]
Although the floating platform is suspended well above the ground below, it overflows with abundant plant life. The edges of the dais are brimming with delicate white queen's lace, dark lavender, fragrant rosemary and a variety of other colorful flora. Thick grass underfoot provides an enticingly peaceful resting spot. A thin silk canopy is rolled back to permit an unobstructed view of the starry night sky. You also see an engraved fel trunk, the brown Wizip disk, a longhaired tiger, the Doppelganger disk, the Cramp disk, a large faenor-chased barrel and a richly finished wooden bench with some stuff on it.
Also here: Qahaar, Wizip, Jube who is kneeling, Rheisia who is sitting, Slovigg, Beldin who is sitting, Whitefoot who is kneeling, Doppelganger, Tamarkk, Ryuusei who is sitting, Lady Zali, Klaser who is kneeling, Brikus who is sitting, Lord Meacteryl who is sitting

[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
The northern corner of the court is relatively quiet, the low hum of conversation punctuated only by the occasional bursts of laughter emanating from the nearby dais. A row of monir trees delineates the curvature of the cobblestoned lane, their leafy boughs creating a peaceful resting spot. You also see a wooden barrel and a floating dais.
Also here: Niqk
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest
Roundtime: 3 sec.
A quartet of guardsmen saunter in, closely followed by the Guard Captain.
With great ease, the Guard Captain grabs you and shackles your wrists.
"Aha, rapscallion! I have you!" the Guard Captain cries out.
The Guard Captain then drags you off.
Arriving at the Hall of Justice, the Guard Captain gestures to a nearby guardsman who strips you of your possessions and tosses them into a box. The Guard Captain then drags you over to a metal grate that he quickly opens and throws you through. "Enjoy your stay until the judge is ready to talk to you!" he snickers softly.
With a dull thud the grate drops back into place, leaving you trapped.
[Hall of Justice, Oubliette]
Silence. Loneliness. Despair. Here you are lost, with no clear idea of when you will be found. The oubliette is a round, featureless room, with no visible entryway or exit, save for a tiny grating some thirty or more feet above you. Water drips down steadily from the metal grate, causing a faint rhythmic tapping noise to penetrate the ever present silence.
Obvious exits: none

You hear the metallic rattle and the grate suddenly pops open. A nimble elf lowers himself into the oubliette on a rope, and ties the end of the rope tightly about your middle, sneering as you gasp for breath.
As the guardsman tugs the rope, you find find yourself hauled up and out of the oubliette, and thrown into the courtroom to face the judge!
[Hall of Justice, Courtroom]
Rows of benches occupy most of the stately courtroom. High above, the silver-edged sapphire banner of House Illistim hangs from the wooden rafters. On the far wall, you see a large oaken desk occupied by the Court Justice. Guardsmen flank either side of the desk, glaring out into the crowd as if their stares could pacify them. Here, all come to be judged. You also see the Guard Captain and some double doors.
Obvious exits: none
The judge studies you carefully, then motions toward a nearby guardsman who fiercely proclaims, "Naseer stands accused of the following crimes..."
The guardsman says, "Naseer is charged with 1 count of murder. This 1 crime carries a total fine of 295680 silvers."
The judge glances at you and declares, "Don't worry about the fine, it could be worse. You could be the last one I had in here. Enough about that, let's move on. You think you're innocent, eh? Well...let me ponder the eviden...NO! Guilty as charged!"
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 295680 silvers plus any other outstanding debts you may owe, or serve a total of 32 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."
>swear breath
You swear under your breath.

SEND[Khaladon] Dunno, could bug it though.

The Guard Captain glances at you and smirks.

I was already arrested earlier for three murders and I got a 22k fine. Then I got 265k fine for one murder. Khaladon hates me.
