Sterling + Onyx 1

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

It's sounding like we'll have to carry them out personally, doesn't it?

*said mildly enough, but he's clearly kind of angry*

Even better.

Something mild, then.

Right.

But if it doesn't fit the crime then, well, she might take it as throwing the game.

Well, that's the thing: how do you fairly decide what fits the crime anyway, when it's so loose?

You can't.

It's all pure theory. It could be literal, an eye for an eye and all that, or just... time to spend in prison. Do we look at each crime relative to others? Or on it's own?

It's tricky. That's the point, I suppose.

It's not. We're going to be enacting an action on someone, possibly a game construct, possibly the other knights or teams playing; it's not going to stay theoretical. And she just said we decide what to do, as long as we can be unanimous about it. There's no real question of 'fairness' here; the element of coercion destroys that.

So. We can punish with an eye for appropriateness, but I for one won't agree to cause a real injury here.
