Ororo reviews her notes and decides against calling the Guardian to the stand. From what she could gather in the short time they had been given. The Guardians charges were probably accurate. She had not run into many computer like devices that bothered to lie and was not about to try to match wits with this one.

"Your Majesty, I call Kurama Sutro to the stand."

As Rama takes his place before the king, he feels a cool presence surrounding him as the truth spell takes effect.

Ororo addresses her client: "Kurama, you are charged with assaulting a Peacekeeper, is this true? Did you attack one and if you did explain why."
 
:: Rama slightly jolts as he is called to the stand. He gets up and sits and his body tingles through the effects of the truth spell. He nods after being asked his question, telling himself no pressure whatsoever ::

"Mistress Ororo, the charge is correct against me. I did attack one. I did so on the pretense that I was being wrongfully accused by Mister Picknose which angered me and I told myself that I would not let me and my friends be captured falsely. My emotions clouded my better judgement which is a fault of mine."

:: Rama awaits to see if she has another question for him ::
 
Ororo's heart sunk in her chest, she had been hoping that Rama would find away around the truth, or avoid speaking the entire truth but perhaps she could still manage to turn it around...

"Were you aware that the person you attacked was a Peacekeeper at the time? What I mean to ask is, had you seen a Peacekeeper before that time. Were you aware that the Orc was a member of the Peacekeepers?"

<<Goddess let him understand what I am asking. If he doesn't then I know that Oberon will find him guilty.>>
 
"Not at first I did not. I mean the only "guard" persay I had seen was Bash and well I didn't know if he was a peacekeeper. And then this Orc you say is one I had no idea, I figured he might be just a friend of Picknose's that would aid in our capture. So I did not know and had not seen a peacekeeper before that"

:: Rama awaits the next question ::
 
Ororo sighs a little then dismisses Rama from the stand. She calls Toby to the stand.

As the now familiar blue glow surrounds him, Ororo begins her questioning.

"Tobias, you are accused of theft of items from Picknose's shoppe. Could you explain to the Court how you came to be in posession of the items found in your pack?"
 
:: Walks up to the stand quite merrily and then sits down and becomes encompassed with the blue glow. He listens to Ororo's question tentatively. He then kinda shrugs and answers -::

"Beats me, I mean I was being curtious to the King at the time... well who I thought was the King at the time... I have a feeling that Picknose used some sort of magic and emplanted them in my pack somehow. I wouldn't put it past that snivelling old piece of-"
 
:: Rama sighs and steps down and watches as it is Tobias' turn for questioning ::
 
:: Her feeling of anxiety beginning to grow once more as Rama and then Tobias were questionned, she closed her eyes briefly as Tobias began to insult Picknose ::

I swear to the dark Gods, if the court doesn't kill one of you, I will.
 
A sound of breaking glass is heard as the blue glow surrounding Tobias shatters. Toby looks all around him to try to figure out what is going on but all eyes in the Courtroom are focused on him now, including the most dangerous of all, Oberon's.

Oberon:"You dare lie in my Court?"

Oberons eyes flash red for a moment and Toby is wracked with bone deep pain, like nothing he had ever felt before. His screams echo within the room and most begin to cover their ears. After what seems to be an eternity, the pain suddenly stops, leaving Toby exhausted on the floor.

Oberon:"Now would you care to tell us the truth? Or would you prefer another taste of my anger?"

The blue glow once again surrounds Tobias who is gasping for breath.

OOC: The spell was broken as you had lied about thinking that it was the king, see page six of this thread, you winked at Amy/Oberon. Just in case you wondered.
 
:: Euthalia tried to hit her head as the spell broke while Toby was speaking. She was stopped because of the chains but managed to frown. ::

So far, Ororo's doing good on defense, but that may have blown it for us.

:: She thought letting out a sigh. ::
 
:: The chains around her hands and feet started to irritate Maia as she watched Rama and Toby being questioned by Ororo. She hoped she wouldn't have to be questioned, she just didn't like to be asked these types of questions under pressure. Especially if it was for a life-threatening situtation like this. With a roll her eyes, she watched Oberon as he seemed to be sucking Toby's breath from him. Her eyes widened slightly as her jaw followed. Is that REALLY necessary!? She wished she could do something, but she really hated to start up something else, or possibly make things worse ::

:: Shaking her head, she let out a depressing sigh. Could this possibly be then end for them? ::
 
*She watched as Ororo beat through the rest of the defense's witnesses and then began to move onto the group. She smiled at Rama, nodding as he did a somewhat good enough job for the team. When Toby stepped up, she slapped her forehead with her hand, not believing he had actually just lied. As he was given another chance, she watched Toby intentively, wondering how he'd get out of this one now.*
 
OOC: Yeah I know lol, it's just I didn't think that the spell would of detected something -let's say-small? Lol, stupid me...

BIC:

:: Tobias screams out in pain and anger as the King punishes him. He gets up breathing heavily and sits back down on the chair as the blue glow encompasses him again. It takes everything for Tobias to prevent himself from answering the Kings question with something snarky and sarcastic. When he had composed himself he turns towards Ororo and answers her question yet again. ::

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I have no idea how the items got into my bag. I think, and I am not lying here, that Picknose implanted them there because he was afraid that we would tell the King that he has another master other than his Lordship. We overheard his thoughts when we questioned him about the Eye of Fire-"

:: There is another gasp from the audience as Tobias mentions the EoF. ::

"His thoughts went something like: 'The Master warned me to keep my eyes and ears open for any who would seek the Eye! He may reward me if I can only play this right.'

:: He then turns towards the King ::

"Unless you were the master he was referring to, your majesty..."

:: Tobias waits for the King to lose his temper again, due to what he was implying. ::
 
:: Rama shakes his head in dismay as Tobias is punished for lying. Rama doesnt say a word and keeps looking on ::
 
*She watches Toby and smiles, someone had finally hit a nice chord in the hall that she'd been bugging about. She grinned and wondered how the King would react.*
 
Wanting to avoid the grisly demise for Toby that she can see brewing in Oberon's eyes, Ororo dismisses him from the stand. She then calls for Amarisy to take his place.

Once again the now familiar blue glow appears. Ororo looks at Amy and begins:

"You are charged with impersonation of the King. Please tell the court how it was that you became so charged."
 
*She pauses for a minute, looking at Ororo and then nods, standing up as she walked over to the stand, surrounded by the blue glow.*

"Well, we did ask Picknose about information regarding the Eye, but then he began harassing us, trying to sell objects to other people from our group and telling us to get out because he didn't want to admit that he served Belsafor...the uh, sorceror who has the Eye and wants the throne...yes, mindspeak is one of my inate abilities and Picknose has not confessed everything he knows."

*She looked a little tense at looked at Rama, smiling a bit as she took a little breath to relax herself and go on.*

"But after we were so rudely thrown out of the shop, my two friends went back inside and i saw a statue of Oberon out in the path and decided to glamour into him. I thought it would help us try to resolve the, situation, in a less violent matter and in a faster way. All i did when i entered the shop was yell at Picknose, telling him what Rama would do to him if he wouldn't listen and that "Oberon" would be mad if he were to find out about Picknose's little secret about his new master. Never did I use my glamour to disturb any of the other peace in this realm intentionally, nor did i use the glamour to affect the jobs of the Peacekeepers. The sole thing i did was yell to Picknose."
 
:: Euthalia looked hopefully at Amarisy, hoping she would help them from dying or what not, and thought her confession was actually decent and might please the king and the jury. She looked to Ororo wondering what she thought and hoping that nothing would happen to the truth spell that was placed upon her. ::
 
The blue glow surrounding Amarisy wavers a little but doesn't shatter. Ororo dismisses her from the stand wondering why there had been a flicker. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Ororo calls Picknose to the stand.

Ororo:"Picknose, you have accused these people of stealing from your shop, is this correct?"

Picknose looks around warily before answering, he had seen just how tricky this woman was and wanted to be very careful.
"Yes'm that is correct."
Ororo:"Did you actually see them steal items or is sensing ones posessions a natural goblin ability?"
Picknose:"Its a natural goblin ability, ma'am."
Ororo:"You have accused them of stealing, Picknose, yet they have passed the test, each of them I've questioned has told the truth about not stealing anything. Could you explain how this is possible?"
Picknose:"You haven't questioned them all. You should."
Ororo: "Perhaps I will, after I have finished questioning you. Do you have any suggestions as to which one I might call next?"
Gilderlilly:"Objection, your Majesty! This isn't relevant!"
Ororo(smiling):"I withdraw the question." (Ororo gestures for Picknose to leave the stand but before the blue glow fades away she quickly asks him directly) "Picknose, did anyone actually steal anything from your shop? Answer the question, please!"

Picknose's eyes dart about quickly looking for a means of escape.

Oberon:"Answer, goblin!"
 
:: A large smile came over Euthalia's face. the goblin would have to say the word 'no'. Becaue none of them did. She saw the goblin's eyes dart around the room, they seemed to be looking for an escape. ::

This'll probably if not definitely prove that we are innocent.
