You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Ok, listen to me very carefully <Player Name>. When you are ready, let me know. I will take you too the central tower. You will be allowed character witnesses of yourself, but no more than 5 others. I'd suggest gathering them before you decide to start this. Have them wait somewhere safe, we'll call them in when they are needed. Just remember Althunas teachings and you'll be fine.'

You say, 'I am ready for this Eisa.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Oh... <Player Name>... You are going to get through this. Understand me? Meet Rouf in front of the central towers.'

Go the center of the zone and find the quest version of Judge Rouf Stoutmane.

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Ah, you arrive <Player Name>. Please wait by me patiently while you are formally accused.'

Captain Aiden begins to speak. '<Player Name>, has shown nothing but insubordination and headstrongness since being assigned to me. <Player Name>'s willingness to ignore my orders, and conspire with criminals shows a disregard for our laws and way of life. This in turn is an insult to the Goddess Althuna. The accusations of being a traitor working with Marlow can also not be ignored!

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'And will anyone defend the accused?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'I will defend <Player Name>'s character. I saw first hand the bravery and selflessness he is capable of. These are not marks of a follower of Marlow.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Bravery is a trait worth having. But obedience is far more important. Could we trust <Player Name> to stand ground against the forces of Kaezul if he were to attack? While extreme, the question bares asking. If you can not follow orders now, what good are you really.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'That's not what the Sergent Major is being accused of. The only crime I can see being committed here is halting <Player Name>'s investigation. There could be a very serious crisis developing and-'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Stay on task Eisa. The law must be followed. Private Greaven-

Private Peters Greaven salutes. 'Your honor!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Please tell us what you saw. Afterwards, <Player Name>, will have a chance to say a few words.'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'As my sworn testimony states, <Player Name> showed callous disregard for the authority of the Captain and senior officer, that being me. I was also poisoned-.

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You were drunk!'.

Private Peters Greaven says, 'POISONED by the defendant. I also witnessed numerous meetings between them and the criminal Grant the Bullseye, and caught <Player Name> red handed in South Newport trying to free some other unknown criminal. Grant was a known follower of Marlow, a thief, and killer. Burt, we have in custody has agreed to testify that he gave <Player Name> orders from Marlow herself.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, speak to me now. It is time for you to answer to these accusations.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, how do you plead?'

You say, 'Not Guilty.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Just not guilty? What else have you to say on the matter?'

You say, 'Nothing that I did is a crime. The cited incidents are being taken out of context, or simply exaggerated.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'So you think this is all just a misunderstanding? Some of the testimony is very damning <Player Name>... Duke Thanes, you look like you have something to say.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'What is really at stake here is the integrity and reputation of all of us here. Of Althuna herself. Of-'

Eisa of the Rose interrupts, 'What is at stake is your own reputation since <Player Name> is technically your subordinate-'

Private Reeves interjects, 'Don't you dare interupt Duke Thanes!'

Captain Aiden interjects, 'Who you trained! Yet here he stand, accused of the most despicable of crimes-'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot shouts, 'What crimes! There is no proof of a Marlow plot!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane shouts, 'I will have order! Shut up the lot of ya! <Player Name>, it's time for your character witnesses. Speak to me, and follow my directions VERY carefully.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, it is time to bring your character witnesses to speak on your behalf. Ask me to, and I shall bring them all here, everyone in your party. Make sure to tell them not to wander very far. They will be attacked.'

You say, 'Bring my friends here so they can defend me.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Ok then. <Player Name>, follow this exactly. Please tell me 'My witness is' followed by the name of your witness. In other words, if you were going to represent yourself, which you can't, you would say 'My witness is <Player Name>'.'

Note: Type 'My witness is 'name" in say with Judge Rouf Stoutmane targeted. That person will then have to answer questions about you. You must do this three times, you may use the same person for all three.

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Let it be known, that according to their own peers, <Player Name> is a Charitable, Just philanthropist. It is time for final judgement.'

You say, 'I am ready.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'By the power granted to me by the Goddess Althuna, I hereby find the defendant NOT GUILTY on all counts.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Not so fast Rouf. I do not feel satisfied with this out come. I would like to investigate further, and would like <Player Name> to be kept in holding until-'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'But he didn't do anything! This trial just proved that!'

Capain Aiden says, 'I too would like to appeal. I do not believe justice has been served.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Well then, if you aren't satisfied with my decision, let's up the ante. I sentence <Player Name> to the Trial of Purity.'

A hush falls over the proceedings.

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You can't be serious...'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Rouf, have mercy!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane looks over at Thanes.

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Well what can I say. Of course I will follow tradition. If he makes it through the trial alive I may even apologize myself.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Then that's that. Judgement has been passed, and justice will soon be served. <Player Name>, speak with me to formally accept this judgement.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'I'm sorry for this <Player Name>. But it's the only way. Live or die, you are considered innocent by partaking in the Trial of Purity, as far as Althuna is concerned. Otherwise they'd keep you judged til you gave up. No, not even Thanes can touch you if you complete this. I have faith in you. Eisa will lead you there when you are ready. You are allowed to bring up to five companions with you on this trial. I highly recommend your very best.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane shouts, 'Court is dismissed!'

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'We all heard you had succeeded, I am so glad you succeeded. I... I just wish I had some better news...'

You say, 'What do you mean better news...'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'While you were doing the trial... Thanes... he must have had more realized you would succeed, and wanted to spite you one more time. He moved up Grants execution. Grant's dead <Player Name>. It's done. This investigation is over. I'm very sorry.'

Find Althuna the Healing Hand (City of Mercy  • Top of arena) .

You say, 'Hail, Althuna, The Healing Hand'

Althuna, The Healing Hand says, 'I don't understand... my sacrafice [sic]... the pain I've endured. Yet the sickness runs free. How can this be..'

Althuna, The Healing Hand says, 'Well met <Player Name>. I was informed that you suceeded [sic] in the Trial of Purity. Few could manage that. I... there is something troubling you child. Would you care to share your troubles?'

You say, '[Tell her everything that has happened since you met Rouf]'

Althuna, The Healing Hand looks at you, sorrow in her eyes. 'I... this is what happens when I become distracted for too long. No this will not do. Executions may never occur away from my view. Thanes has much to answer for. As does his petty Captain. But most troubling is this poor soul... trapped and wanting help, but apparently being controlled as well. You concern for other Dalayans speaks highly of your character. I believe you should pursue this further and rescue the soul. She is being bound against her will clearly, and all spells come with a price. There must be some way to save her, and she might know what it is. I believe I know what must be done.'

You say, 'Your insight will be greatly appreciated in this matter.'

Althuna, The Healing Hand closes her eyes for a moment. She speaks after she opens them. 'I have informed Rodger of my plan. Speak with him on this matter. And good luck <Player Name>, continue to do what is right.'

Return to High Priest Rodger.

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Hail <Player Name>. Althuna informed me of the whole story. If what you say is true... Althuna believes that the spirit herself may know how to get free, but is being prevented from doing it. The plan right now is for me to summon it here, and ask. With Althuna's protection this 'Kiera' should be able to speak freely. But I will need a few supplies first.'

You say, 'Ya... figured that would be the case. Just tell me what they are and where to find them.'

High Priest Rodger laughs. 'Of course. You must get that alot [sic] in your line of work. Here it goes. I need to control the spirits. A binding Orb of the Dead should allow this if I use it as a focus properly. The dwarves of Kaladim used to have those in great numbers, so it may still exist in there.'

High Priest Rodger says, 'The focus needs to, well focus, on something, so we'll need to find some remains of the victim. Something around where she died may have them, Althuna willing. '

High Priest Rodger says, 'Next we'll need a special incense. Thats [sic] easy though, we have an agent in Kelethin, one Deirdre Grey, who makes it. Just ask her for it.'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Finally we need a special Brazier. It is made of the most beautiful gold... we used to get them from the Goblins of the Redsun Mines. We would trade them for it, though I don't know where they got them. If you are in good standing with them, you can probably just ask, otherwise find a way to get it.

Binding Orb of the Dead is dropped by Prelate Migur in North Kaladim.

You say, 'Hail, Deirdre Grey'

Deirdre Grey smiles broadly. 'Ah, Sergent Major <Player Name> of the Rose Squadron. How good of you to arrive. I have been expecting you.'

You say, 'Oh have you?'

Deirdre Grey says, 'Indeed. I have the incense all prepard [sic]. If you need anymore just let me know. How is the Rose Squadron doing? I heard about what those Marlow followers did to you at the Arena. Quite ghastly. But if someone like you is a member now, they must be stronger than ever.'

You receive Incense of Midnight Dreams from Deirdre Grey.

You say, 'I didn't know that... I guess I joined up afterwards. I'll have to be sure to pay my respects to them.'

Deirdre Grey says, 'Yes, well they are probably in a better place now anyway. Remember if you need any more incense just talk to me again.'

Beautiful Golden Brazier can be purchased from a goblin merchant in Red Sun Mines for 150 or can be obtained as loot.

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Grant... help? Me? Help me! Puh.. Please help me!'

You say, 'I want to help you. What happened, how can I free you?'

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Cold one... so cold... I was bad... I... the implements of my end. The things that killed me... I...'

You say, 'What do you mean? What implements, what do I do with them?'

Kiera D`unteraux starts shivering violenetly [sic]. 'Run... run away! Before I hurt... hurt you... Kill you! Make you bleed. You'll join us you will. My Master! Chaos and death to Dalaya!'

Kiera suddenly transforms and howls in agony! The howl causes Rodger to keel over bleeding!

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Oh Master! I shall bring you a strong one!'

I think she fled there... <Player Name>, something is not right here. She should have been dismissed if she broke free... her attacking and fleeing wasn't a possibility. We need to reclaim her. Search around there and put her in this vessel. It should activate automatically as long as it is on your person. Just get her weak enough!'
