The folks take few moments, but then decide on five others. Talirin being one. Two of the guards are also chosen. The two other folk, Brennus and Miro.
Talirin nods to the crowd acknowledging their trust and moves to the side to let the process begin.
Inside he believes we are wasting our time on the murdering scum and this shows we are indecisive. ..but he is willing to see it play out if Rose sees value in it.
The trial is now starting. First thing brought fourth is the body, which is laid on stage before the crowd. Some gasp, some cry, and some remain silent.
Polmar waits a tick. And thinks "I want to meet your captain so lets get to it.
“No, just an example.” Karliah said, shaking her head when Rose question whenever or not she was threatening her... and it made Karliah even more sure that Rose was not worthy of being a leader. That she was not a woman she was interested in to rebuild this world. Whilst she did follow in order to see the trail, Karliah made a note to herself to seek out this ‘Siobhan Beldam, sister of Rico Beldam’. Perhaps her group would better benefit from her service and skills...

I apologize but this trial will be held in private. The representatives you chose will decide his guilt or innocence while I will decide his fate should he be deemed guilty. Rose directs the guards to help her bring Sam and the body and whatever people have evidence along to the room used during the council meeting.
Realization dawns on Jalel when the men surrounding them pull out their weapons. My words had no effect?!
This was not a fight they were likely to survive if it came to blows. He knew the cloak he had acquired would allow him to vanish, should he desire. But these men knew nothing of that yet. As long as neither of those two say anything, that is.
He let out a small breath and let Polmar take the lead. "Yes, take us to your leader." he said almost meekly. Still shocked by the revelation of his words.
When Rose announced that the trail was going to be held private, Karliah scowled, briefly. It was just like that female... for all her talk about honour, and saying that Karliah had no right to question it. She was certainly fine going around giving her reasons to question it. Shaking her head in disgust, Karliah looked around, hoping to see where Siobhan was.
Bah, figures we make it out of the cave with the rat only to run into these louts. Not much to be done at the moment, perhaps if the opportunity presents itself to run but that seems unlikely.
Lershoth's tail twitches in annoyance but otherwise he does his best to smile (if only grimly) at his captors and follows their lead.

Siobhan steps out of the shadows when Karliah starts looking around. "That may not be what you wanted but it suits the will of her people. They wanted a trial - and their duchess has given it to them."
Siobhan looks around and speaks more softly. "I'm worried about this though. There seems to be something wrong here - this orb... it seems wrong somehow. I need to talk to my brother, urgently."
