*the owl continues to yank on his hair and scratch his face with her talons, then swoops out of the hall. As if summoned, Kully walks back into the room and Deal's mouth twists into a snarl as he sees her appear*

*Rob grins at Kully*
Rob: Now Deal, as you can probably tell the spell VERITAS means you cannot lie. I suggest you fess up now and make it a lot easier on yourself. You assaulted Kully outside the Wolf's Howl Inn didn't you, Skarkill found out and sought to punish you. He wasn't quite the monster you all had him pinned down as. Then you slaughtered him in cold blood. After that Kully fled the town and you joined up with the assassins guild and have made several attempts on my life with them. This is true isn't it?
[OOC: Rob hasn't mentioned Lady Morgan because no one would believe that. Deal still has the envelope given to him by the assassins but he cannot move.]

*Deal face contorted in rage. Then he grined at Rob*
"That spell may stop me from liying but it dosen't stop me from not anserwing you."
"And some of thoses acusations will be hard to prove without evidence."
< Deal fixes Kully with a hard stair.>
"Good day to you Miss Kully I'm glad to see your keeping well." He sneerd.

*stares long and hard at Deal, then whirls round and stares wildly behind her. Everyone in the hall turns to see what she is staring at and when they look back, the fluffy owl is scratching at his face and chest again, staining his white shirt red*
*Kully's voice echoes in his mind*
I can stand this for hours...can you?

*Deal face is contorting in pain but there also appers to be a glint of triumph in his eyes.*
"Oh Thats brave ist it? Attake a man whos frozen to the spot. I'd like to see you try this if your mage freind took his spell off me."
(OOC: Deal was trying to provke a reaction of this sort.)

*changes to Kully*
And you would attack an elf-girl with half the strength of yourself? You have the nerve to say this is not justified. Call yourself a man...

*stands up at the back and pulls her hood down*
I will testify against this back-stabbing traitor and if the authorities agree to turn a blind eye, I'm sure I can even arrange an untimely demise.
*walks to the front of the gasping crowd*
This ... filth ... attacked me when I had lowered my sword after he had suffered a fair defeat at my hand, throwing an illegal powder into my eyes that burnt as I was walking away.
I also heard him say he started the fire at the Crazed Heiffer and I am the only witness to this. I will willingly testify under a truth spell to this effect.

*Several commoners, holymen and more importantly guards are up in arms after this display. Several guards move to arrest Deal and Lord Daventree nods. Deal's smug look is wiped off his face when Lady Morgan does nothing to help him* [ModNote: LM was last heard from here.] Rob: Well Deal, I hope you like being treated like the filth you are because in prison it will be exactly the same. *Some strange magic from an unknown source causes the brown envelope of Deal's to open. Some strange powder swirls around Deal's face and sends him into a deep trance. When he awakes then he will have forgotten all memories of his dealings with the assassins. He will remember only the fire at the Heifer.*

*Hordriss notes the ususual powder, and takes a small sample in the chaos, hiding it under his robes. He then turns to Rob.*
A fine result Ringmaster, but let us not be vindictive in punishing this man. His crimes were indeed appaling, but we risk in our anger becoming the monsters we fear. *His eyes are shadowed as he says this, his thick brows creasing. Then he smiles.*
However, one would wish to make your acquaintance more properly and discuss the matter further, particularly how you knew that one carries that most useful VERITAS spell. But I think perhaps we could find another, more private place for discussion.
*Turns to Kully* As for you my dear, I wonder if you would accompany us, I wish to offer my deep-felt condolances for your treatment at the hands of this man.
*Looks down at Deal* Hmmm, I wonder if something can be done...

* Arrives just in time to witness the latter part of this development. Approaches Celánia *
If 'e's goin' to prison, 'e won't be drinkin' out of the water barrel at 'is stall - 'e won't drink your mixture!
Celánia: That hardly seems necessary now - he's been arrested.
Well...I suppose so. 'Ere, I'd better go and kick over the barrel so no one else drinks it.
* Hands hasn't finished with Deal yet, however, and still has plenty of Celánia's mixture left... *

*Deal is being carted off to prison by the town militia, Lady Morgan displays little emotion and the ceremony ends very quickly. Rob, Kully and Hordriss go to the guardhouse to ensure Deal is secured until he wakes up for questioning.* Rob: Well Hordriss, I have a great wish to make your aquintance and to explain everything but first I have a few loose ends to wrap up if you will. *Rob teleports away* [ModNote: Lady Morgan next appears in The Guardhouse thread.]

Well, one does think that was rather rude. One can appreciate the importance of secrets, but it is so difficult to keep track of all the developments here. However, *he pulls out a small bag in which he secreted the powder* this is most interesting. One thinks that one shall take a little refreshment at that old establishment... The Mad Cow, or whatever it was... and examine this at my leisure. *Leaves* [OOC: Continued at the Crazed Heffer, but not tonight, rather busy Oh and by the way, I know that monk disguises are terribly mysterious, but we can have too much of a good thing. Hordriss, as a master of disguise (!) requests some more imaginative goes in future ]
