[closed] a templar's reckoning

[onlyhymns]

WHO: Closed to Seekers and Knights-Commander. And Cade!
WHAT: A meeting and/or hearing to determine the future of Knight-Lieutenant Harimann.
WHEN: Early Drakonis
WHERE: in that one empty tower
NOTES: everyone dies

[Cade has been temporarily released from Nerva's supervision to attend a gathering in the sparse but appropriately isolated tower where the Templars last met. There is a small half-circle of chairs facing a single chair, which he is escorted into by a fellow Templar, who promptly takes their leave.

Dressed in plainclothes and in possession of nothing that could be construed as a weapon, Cade looks rather smaller than usual. He folds his hands, looks at the floor, and waits for it to begin.]


OOC Note: It would probably be easiest to do this in the style of other meetings, more of a rapid-fire discussion than a log with full paragraphs. Having said that, let's still use a turn order just so nobody gets left behind or talked over.

Comments

1. Why/how did this happen?

[onlyhymns]

[Cade explains, for the umpteenth time, that his memory of the event is fuzzy. He is, however, aware that he is in the wrong, and that he is a liability to the Inquisition.

He seems genuinely torn up as he struggles to remember what happened; his account goes from standing guard to being tackled off the elf by Alistair, with a large gap in between. He timidly admits that this is not the first time such a lapse has happened; there are entire battles that he apparently won but doesn't remember.

Despite this, he acknowledges that the incident was his fault. He humbly puts himself at the mercy of those seated before him.

After he's finished speaking, he clasps his hands and looks down at the floor again.]

2. What should be done with him?

3. Anything else?

4. The Verdict

[onlyhymns]

[As determined by the Seekers and Knights-Commander present, Cade is to remain in the Templar order, but under supervision at all times and limited to clerical duties. He is forbidden weapons of any kind, and must spend time doing penance for his outburst.]
