"A gallows."

Right, how about anyone who is not a Hellknight. 

Well Lastwall isn't going to take them. Somewhere in the River Kingdoms probably will, though?

Catherine looks thoughtful. "Cyprian might take them if they're unambiguously unrepentant."

"That would be a treaty violation."

"Of course it would. Apologies."

"By the treaty I can't send prisoners elsewhere at all?"

"By the treaty you cannot deliver servants of the Abyss into a treaty ally's territory against that ally's will or without their knowledge no matter how indirect you are about it."

What would Iomedae do.

Iomedae would go down to Mengkare's stupid island and convince him to take them, by being Iomedae. This route isn't available to people who aren't Iomedae.

"Fine. I'll tell Ember I tried, no luck, we can't do a general amnesty, and I guess I'll have someone petrify the ones she already got until that changes."

".- she told them you wouldn't kill them?"

"Yes. Which is, to be clear, the only reason we have them at all."

Hmph.

"That's... certainly a predicament. How unsure are you, of their repentance?"

"The one who Ember initially got to confess - and to turn in her friends, if only Ember promised they wouldn't be executed - seems pretty sincerely regretful about her life choices which do seem very easy to regret. The other three - managed a truth spell saying they regretted their life choices and didn't intend to worship Baphomet any more. Ember says they are also sorry, and scared, and just need to go somewhere far away from here where they can stop having anything to do with the war, and Ember is very insightful but somewhat limited in perspective."

"That sounds - sincere enough that Ember might be right it'll stick if they're away from the front. Andoran?" And then because it looks like Regill's about to speak up again, she adds "Andoran would genuinely take them and keep them, I think."

Hmph.

"I'll get a ruling on if it's permitted before I do it. I'd feel better about that, it's closer to keeping Ember's word for her - yes, I have told her that she must absolutely never do it again -"

"Very well, Commander."

"So," (Alfirin is impersonating Marit's elf wizard, at the moment) "Where do we hide this body, when it's not in use?"

"Between the second floor and the third in the north wing, there's a disused staircase, blocked off. I scouted it out as a Teleport location if I ever wanted to get into my fortress unnoticed, or Dimension Door out from anywhere else in the citadel. You could put up a phase door if you don't want to dimension door back and forth every time."

"One phase door, seven dimension doors - Phase door's cheaper, I suppose. Thanks for the location. I'll want to put up a private sanctum every day - probably not worth making permanent." She can't actually cast that straightforwardly anymore. She's not sure if she should ask Marit for help and reveal that she can't.

"I'm planning to ask Seetvas to make us some rods of Extend Spell as soon as he's back," says Marit, who thinks the relevant cost is just the daily fifth-circle spell. "It might be worth a Permanency, though. I will at some point soon get to have a clone myself and, not being Plane Shift capable, will probably want it here in Drezen."

"I keep scrolls around, in case - but Drezen's probably more practical. I'll put it up permanent if you'll authorize the use of diamond dust."

Marit makes a thoughtful face. "No, I won't, but I'll pay you personally for it." And he opens his Bag of Holding and begins counting out an approximately fair set of gemstones for her.

" - I suppose if it's just for you and me, it's not exactly a fair use of Crusade funds - " She takes half the gemstones and closes Marit's hand on the rest. "I'll go fetch the diamond dust, then." plane shift.
