As the Ducal tournament was beginning, 3 of my closest friends, members of Black Forest, were accused of necromancy and put on a quasi-trial during which they had no chance to defend themselves. If you can explain what more needs to be done to clear the good names of 3 of Ashbury's most loyal defenders, I want to hire you.
These are the facts of our case:
1. A witness claims she saw a member of Black Forest cast necromancy 7 years ago. She claims she was there and that she and two members of Black Forest conspired to keep the necromancy secret for years.
2. The witness was not present when the charges were brought.
3. The witness has been totally discredited. She is a crazed ex-lover of a Black Forest member. After being dumped, the witness committed suicide to prove her deranged hatred for Black Forest.
4. There is no corroborating evidence and no circumstantial evidence.
5. There has been no opportunity to find more reliable witnesses because the witness has conveniently forgotten many details (such as the names of other adventurers present). Since the witness is lying about the event we simply do not know when this is supposed to have happened or who might be called as a witness to deliver the true story.
Black Forest believes that the charges should never have been brought. Now that the charges have been brought and our good names dragged through the mud thanks to an unstable and vindictive "witness" Black Forest believes that the charges must be dropped. We wish to hire a solicitor to make our case to Magistrate Eros. We're sure the good paladin doesn't want to send 3 innocent men to their deaths based on one crazy accusation so who among you can help him see the obvious truth?
