Here is Kasume´s testimony:

I would like to appoint a trial on the halfling named Dair Essel. Here is my story.

I just woke up one morning by the shop. A little halfling just suddenly came up to me and bumped into me. Immediatly I noticed one of my bags was stolen from my side! I quickly started chasing after the little halfling. I kept chasing him around all over Trollsbane. He was yelling "Murderer! Murderer!" all over the place. He kept yelling lies and such. Soon I grabbed ahold of him to make him stop and take my things back. Of course I meant no serious harm to him, but I need rough him up to make him believe that I was serious and was going to demand my things back. It attrached quite a crowd actually, Athian and Kahlil are the only two I remember, but of course there were more people there. He said he didn't have it and when we checked him we didn't find anything. I was at a sort of a lost. So I just put him down and let him go. Just moments later Athian came to me saying that he saw the halfling have a strange bulge in his belly and he saw him pick something up after the commotion. Immediatly we had about 5 people chasing him around the town for my things. We surrounded him and he still got away! We were quite angry. Soon Athian just simply paralyzed him to stop the craziness. We pushed him out of town and into the mummies. The little bastard, the theif and liar, we didn't care what happened to him. We simple just left him paralyzed at the mummies while the mummies played with him. Later I saw him by the river. I was a bit upset because I had lost my bag of little gold, which didn't concern me. The only thing that I wanted from the bag was my family's one of a kind necklace. Since I have no family anymore it meant A LOT to me. He simply noticed that there was nothing of intrest in the bag so he just threw it in the river. I got very angry. I held my anger in content though. I do admit that my actions in the woods was a bit harsh. When I saw him I simply ran after him. He kept agitating me as I was chasing him and calling me a coward while he was running away. Although this is not in town, it just proves more of a fool he is.

He is a lying scum and should never walk the streets of Trollsbane again. My wittnesses are Athian, Gerhalt, Kahlil, Alora, and Galim. Those are the only people I remember. My actions to hurt him was simply to rid the town of his precense. Everytime he is found in town he stirs some kind of trouble that no one wants. Thank you for your time.

This is quite easily a lie by a murder and now known movement member. If their was such a necklace and I was a theif I would have kept it. But since I did not take his bag I could not have had that chance. Therefore Kasume is a liar.

As I would like to point and prove that Hagen has jailed Dair before for arrousing up trouble in town.

The necklace is of my family and has no real value. And you can plainly see it on the necklace. You took coins from the bag and threw it in the river after doing so.

If your only defense is, "Kasume is a liar" than do not talk. We already know you would say this.

Dair,

I find you very pathetic. Many people have a lust to have your foolish head on a platter, including the Tree Shadows. You are nothing but a coward, which was shown when your ran like a pig, ready for the slaughter.

Unsigned, but a drop of fresh blood is splattered on the crumbled paper.

I just heard that Kasume is a Movement member, Drogan said that Movement members cannot start trials.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 10:59 pm

I'm not a Movement member. Ask Grant himself. For god's sakes I killed a Rock Tribe member. Part of their allies. Why would I do this if I was a Movement member. Ask Gruuba, I killed him once. Probably hates me now.

Athian · Post by **Athian** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 11:01 pm

Kasume isn't a movment member. sorry to kill your hopes there Dair. and i saw you steal form serveral people on this occasion. An Elf in front of the shop as Well as trying to hide Kasume's bag of gold under your shirt, a bag that was near bigger then yourself i might add.

You paralyzed me and left to the mummies. And Nilo says himself the Kasume is a member of the movement. Your lies are quite weak.

Nilo hates me. Of course he would make up lies to get me in trouble.

The words on the parchment are thick, bold and smoothly written, to imply truth and a point.

Kasume is not a member of the Movement. The Movement has unfortunately become a scapegoat for those who wish ill of other people. This "Dair" fellow is a poor liar. I can see it in his words and I can feel it in the grooves in the parchment where he has written.

Aside from the fact that Kasume is not a Movement member, this is not the matter at hand. The matter is of the accused Dair Essel for his crimes. Mister Essel's attempt at changing the topic of discussion to Kasume only makes him seem more guilty.

I am not guilty of theft on this Island. I have not done it in TrollsBane or in the surroundint areas. The "topic" change as you call it, is not a "topic" change. It is quite relivant, it goes to show that Kasume is a murder and a liar. Therefore proving not all that he can say is truthful. Which can prove that his false accusations about me are also not truthful.

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 7:51 am

With the halflings I have seen in these recent days, I would more likely trust a murderous human than a mischevious halfling. Murderers are predictable, mischevious creatures are random. However, Kasume is not just any murderer. A man who can admit to murder is one worthy of trust. Even an enemy who can admit to such a thing is worthy of a level of trust. I know Kasume to be a good man, with good, honest words. He is no liar, which simply leaves but one alternative.

The topic change is irrelevant. As Kasume is no Movement member, something I personally know, your argument lacks relevancy. So now, instead of just his word versus yours, there is my word with Kasume's word versus yours. You've no proof to offer, nor does Kasume, nor I, nor Lyrenzia, nor any witness. Only the gods have proof and I honestly doubt they will waste their time on such a petty squabble as that of yours and Kasume's.

The topic at hand is your thievery, or the charge of thievery against you, whichever you want to say. You are right in that you are not guilty of theft, though you forgot one very important word. Yet. The choice of your guilt is for Lyrenzia to decide, as this matter took place inside the walls.

Not Yet, Never. I am not guilty and to be found so would be a false charge. Which if nessicary I could avoid by leaving town. But I feel confident that I will not be found guilty because it is a false charge. Also Freemont if I am not mistaken you have been gone for awhile. Therefore you dont know how Kasume changed. Or if any of your statement is true.

~>Dair<~

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 8:02 am

I am never gone. I hide in the shadows, observing, entering the light to defend the innocent and my friends. Regardless of the outcome, Kasume will still be Kasume, the same I have known for some time. I may not know if all the statements I make in my life are true or not, but it this is not the case. I believe in my friends and I believe in myself as a good judge of character. Also, if I am not mistaken Essel, you have never met me before, therefore you would not know if I was gone, or that I even existed to begin with unless by hearsay.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this trial.

What consitutes theft? A person taking another persons items for personal gain.

1. What Items are missing? Kasume states and has stated that he has his items. How could they be stolen then?

2. If their are any missing items. Do I have them? I can assure you not. Therefore I really cannot have stolen any items unless I would have sold them. Kasume clearly states all items are worthless except for centimental value.

3. If all the items are worthless except to Kasume If I was the thief which I am not, I would have sold them back to Kasume, except that he has the items so clearly I do not have them.

4. Kasume states and has stated he found his items in the river. I was at the river all the time with Kasume there. Would I if I was the theif show that I was by putting them in the river, I think not.

Therefore since no items were stolen, there cannot be any theft. For Kasume has all the items except for which he states a few coins, which I wouldnt waste my time on because I make more than enough as a farmer.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 10:03 pm

Hmm Dair you do make me laugh at some points in time.

1. Items damage. Property damage. My family necklace which is irreplacable has been damaged and looks awfully terrible. I was missing a few coins too. My bag was also damaged which I had to buy and replace a new one.

2. You repeat the same thing over and over again.

3. Gerhalt can ever vouch that he fished by bag out of the water. I was just looking into the water, teaching Gerhalt a bit of fishing, because after all I am a Grandmaster fisherman! Yet anyways, I was teaching Gerhalt some tricks when a saw a bag fly into the water. It came from behind and when I turned I saw Dair obviously sitting behind me. What else could not say that HE was the one throwing the bag into the water?

I shall stray away from saying much more, because you are always repeating yourself Dair.

Gerhalt · Post by **Gerhalt** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 11:12 pm

Kasume was teaching me some of the finer parts of fishing when, with no warning whatsoever, a bag of coins flew past my head into the river. I fished them out, and Kasume recognized them as his own. I do not know whether Dair threw them, although in all likelyhood it was him. Kasume, Dair, and I were the only people (with the term "people" refering to all races of intelligent beings) in the vicinity.

The council made its judgement.

The trial ends without a verdict.

Case closed.
