Mistress Kath! I beseech you! Surely we should not be randomly accusing anyone. What is needed here is the application of my trusted friend, the law.
While we may be but a remote outpost, the laws of our beloved Kingdom still apply here as they do elsewhere in the realm of Gondor. And the law commands that, where a crime has been committed, as it has here, the suspects must be tried fairly before their peers by means of a thorough review of the evidence. And if the evidence reveals the guilt of the accused then the law decrees the sentence for cold blooded murder as death by hanging. But only if their guilt is established - beyond all reasonable doubt.
And yet, we need a judge. Since we have no time to send to the mainland in this matter, I must do my duty and take on that onerous burden myself, being the only one acquainted with the law here. As a man of the law, I am of course above suspicion. Were I one of these foul fiends of Udun, I would have no choice but to confess right now, in light of my legal training. But I am no Werewolf.
Now, this court is in session. Let him or her speak who has evidence upon which to base an accusation. Who is to be brought before me accused of this terrible crime?
