The Trial

9 November, 595

Some of the group decides to attend Keygan's trial, which is held in the town hall. A great crowd is gathered, and when Keygan is brought out in chains he gets many jeers and hisses. The tribunal consists of the arresting officer, the captain of the guard (Skellerang), and Lord Vhalantru, who is filling in for the Lord Mayor. The officer presents the charges and describes how Keygan is found guilty of abetting kidnappers and slavers. When it comes time for the defense to present his case, Keygan chooses to remain silent, putting himself at the mercy of the tribunal. After a brief adjournment, the tribunal reconvenes and Keygan is found guilty. He is to die by public execution on the morn. Upon hearing this, the crowd eruptions in cheers and applause. "The mob has spoken," mutters Bruinor.

That evening the group ventures out again to search for goblins. They also hire some rapscallions to be on the lookout for goblin graffiti and offer them money for any info they can find out. During the course of the night, Plenty comes across some graffiti which she translates as: "Who builds town in volcano? Stupid humans."
