"Well, now we know why the jury is being targeted, at least. I still don't understand why we are here, except perhaps to act as witnesses to their punishment. Know this; if I can defend you against death, I will, but only to see that justice is done by the letter of the law. When we get free, you will confess your crime to the officials and accept your punishment." She turns to Killian. "Were I you, I would not be so smug. You are in as much danger as the rest of us. Perhaps more, as I expect that you knew that Mord was innocent and went along with the verdict for what reason I cannot guess."
"We cannot keep you safe is you are not forthcoming with us!"
Kanna is not quite ready to give up just yet. She keeps a close watch on Patrissa.
"If it is your desire to live forever, you had best get accustomed to disappointment," Kanna notes sagely.
I'm in if only to see where this character goes, though I agree that playing a horror movie is more fun than watching one.
Kanna snaps awake at the sound of the scream. She makes a quick headcount of her companions, then goes to the door, pressing her ear against it and listening.
Or more jurors will disappear...

My condolences to you and your family.
"As we entered this room, I had a brief vision of a cloaked figure about to strike a woman seated in the rocking chair. Before he could strike her, she attacked with a knitting needle, injuring his cheek. He then grabbed an axe that was hanging here, on the hearth. That was all I saw. I bring this up only because that would explain the knitting needle."
I am going to be at a con until Monday and will likely be unable to post. Please bot me as necessary or, if you are in my game, be patient and I will pick up on Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
Kanna will take a stone and if anything follows her down the stairs, she flings a stone at it.
Kanna will proceed to the bottom of the stairs. If the thing follows, she will take anohter magic stone if they are still active.

Kanna also withdraws from the room, as there is little that she can do here.
Kanna holds her hands to her mouth and suppresses a scream.
"What indeed? Why was a perfectly normal man sewing his putrified toes back on? How did a half-orc end up hanging from the ceiling? Nothing here makes sense!" Clearly, Kanna is becoming frustrated.
Kanna immediately goes on the offensive. Taking up her shortbow, she launches two arrows in rapid succession.
Curious about the other room (the first one), Kanna enters trepidatiously and looks around. A cursory search of the room reveals nothing (unless something makes itself known).
Kanna ponders the disappearance of Halgrak. "I suspect that we may soon encounter another body," she says gravely.
"No secrets," Kanna chides. "If we are to survive and get out of here, we must be able to trust one another."
Kanna brushes away the dust and cobwebs from a plaque, trying to read it.
All, I am in the midst of con season and I have two cons in the span of a month, one of which I am working as staff. If I am slowing things down, please feel free to bot me. If you are in my group, please be patient and I will check in as often as time allows. Things should be back to normal after the first weekend in March.
Kanna raises an eyebrow with mild surprise as Groff and Seldion reenter the room, having expected some such means of preventing easy escape. "It would seem that we are stuck here until the mystery is solved," she says flatly.
"An unpleasant way to die, to be sure. What was the evidence?"
Kanna shrugs, taking the man at his word.
Kanna says nothing, but watches the other members of the jury, hoping to spot some clue that will give someone away.
Kanna prods the body with her foot, ensuring that it is well-and-truly inanimate. "Is it possible that the remains could be re-animated a second time?" she wonders aloud.
"Thank you. That seems to be my lot today. I'm not usually this clumsy." Kanna admits as she is healed.
Third the thanks, and I'll take a potion of cure light wounds.
Kanna stumbles from the mass of birds, trying to protect her face. Lacking AoE weapons, she is less than useless in this situation.
"I require nothing that the victim possessed. Let us continue with our investigation. I was not involved with the trial and it stands to reason that other among us were not as well. Yet some of us were. Might the spirit be seeking vengeance on those that wronged it somehow, and brought the rest of us here as witnesses?"
