Rovell sighed.  Despite his love of the law, he had to admit it was much easier to deal with corrupt city officials than honest ones.  Not that he'd had to deal with many, but it seemed a fair conclusion to come to given his few prior experiences back home.

"Listen to me," he said in a commanding tone, voice once again laden with power, "I am not a mortal, and I do not have time to deal with this foolishness. I wish to discuss a few things with the people in that room, and you are in my way.  Allow me in immediately, or you will have to explain to them why I was not here.  For some reason, I doubt that they'd be very pleased."

A faint, glittering mark appeared on his forehead, barely visible.  Rovell wanted them to know that he spoke the truth, or, rather, mostly the truth, but he didn't want people to pay direct attention to him once he was finished with the discussion.  That tended to end badly for everyone, especially him.

Rovell eyed the guardsman, annoyed.  He had a tough choice now.  Either he could remain hidden, and just walk away and forget about this entire situation, or he could reveal himself as a Solar and enjoy interviewing deities about local law.  Rovell briefly wondered whether that made sense, but discarded the thought almost immediately. 

He saw that the lunatic was still in the room, as was the confused man, doing a poor job of hiding himself in the back of the room.  Rovell shrugged.  He guessed that the bit about the man being a Solar was true, then, if he was allowed in.

He looked back over his shoulder, making sure no one else was around to hear him.  Then, he leaned towards the guards, and whispered, "I'm a Lawgiver, and if you don't let me in, or if you tell any one about me, I will find someone to cut various parts of you off and feed them to your fellow guards.  If you listen to me, of course, I'll give you each a Dinar."

Rovell reached into his pocket and pulled out two coins.

Curious, Rovell carefully picked his way through the crowd.  The public display or trial must have ended already, though there might still be some sort of secret trial.  They weren't terribly uncommon, though Rovell personally did not approve of them.  With competent people in charge of a legal system, public trials tended to be both easier and more useful.

Managing to get out of the crowd and into the temple, Rovell stood at the edge of the chamber, staring at the three figures on the dias.

I nominate Kyle Katarn

Unless, of course, you didn't count the nominations for Vimes or Ventari.  Then I nominate Vimes.

SOULS WOULD NOT GO INTO THE PROCESS OF CREATING A DWARF.

SPIRITS, HOWEVER, WOULD.

OBVIOUSLY THIS MAN WAS POISONED.

DRINK WATER UPSTREAM OF CORPSE TO DETERMINE TOXICITY.


Just kidding.

DETERMINE IF THERE IS BLOOD ON YOUR SWORD.  YOU MAY HAVE KILLED THIS ELF MAN.

Throw something expendable into the magma.
Do we have a redshirt available?

If not, make it be a simple nearby rock.


No, wait...  Find a stick and put it into the lava.  We might not be able to see if whatever we threw in melted.

If the stick melts/catches fire, then obviously the bridge is:

A)  Not actually made of wood.
B)  Is magic.
C)  Is a god.

EXAMINE BODY CSI-STYLE, BUT MAKE SURE TO DO IT LIKE THE KIND FROM TV BECAUSE IN REAL LIFE THINGS DONT ACTUALLY WORK THAT WAY.

ALSO, DANCE.  AND THEN TAKE THE GUY'S STUFF.

Find something you can eat without any sort of problems occurring, and then eat it.

Rovell stood up, disgusted.  His contact didn't show up.  Well, former contact.  Someone who couldn't keep an important appointment like this probably couldn't be trusted anyway.

He looked around the market square.  By now, most of the looters had finished with the shops, and were headed towards the center of the city, likely to watch whatever passed for a trial around here.  Rovell decided that he should do the same.  After all, he had wanted to speak with the mad Lunar woman, even though she would probably try to do something ridiculous.  Besides, he had never had the time to study the legal system of Great Forks, though he suspected it would be fascinating.

It's a worker ant.  I don't believe they mate.

That happens way too often.  I suspect that there are STRANGE POWERS at work when it comes to lipping small objects in the air and dropping them.
