Iomedia. I am Iomedia, Select of Iomedae. There are many Evil Nobles in Westcrown, whom I wish Dead. I shall make a Speech in which I say that I Hope that the People of Cheliax will Rise Up against the Evil Nobles with Torches and Stones.

People of Westcrown. Death to the Nobles! We shall Rise Up against the Nobles with Torches and Stones!

Nobles. Calamity! We are Slain!

Valiant Servants of Law. This Select of Iomedae is a Murderess, for with her Words she Stirred Up the People of Westcrown. She shall be Tried and Punished.

Simplicio. But how can she be a Murderess, if she did no Murders? For it was not her Sword that slew the nobles, but the Stones of the People of Westcrown.

Valiant Servants of Law. To Slay another man is a Great Offense against the Law. But to Inspire Others to such Vile and Anarchic Acts is just as Great an Offense, and merits just as Severe a Punishment.

Mephistophilia. Nay, I say! For you cannot Prove that in her Heart she willed the Deaths of the Nobles.

Valiant Servants of Law. Iomedia, did you will in your Heart the Deaths of the Nobles?

Iomedia. Yes.

Mephistophilia. Still I say Nay! For you cannot Prove that she caused the Speech to be Distributed. 

Valiant Servants of Law. Iomedia, did you cause the Speech to be Distributed?

Iomedia. Yes.

Mephistophilia. Still I say Nay! For there was Another Man, who Likewise by his Writings Inflamed the Anarchic Passions of Westcrown.

Valiant Servants of Law. Iomedia, did you consult with this Man?

Iomedia. No, for he wished to kill All Hellspawn, while I wished also to kill all Evil Nobles, many of whom are Human.

Simplicio. I am Persuaded. She is Innocent.
