If Dench is found guilty, the judge, Yuna Barrows, will issue the ultimatum, which goes as follows:
"Dench you are hereby decreed by the royal court to be guilty of one count of murder. You are given the rare option for your choice of sentencing. You may either take life in prison (and you'll need to make a new character) or you and your comrades may work to hunt and enemy of the state. What do you choose?"
Enemy of the state job:
- find Trina Wells at the Great Lake of Re'ann
- sail to Great Lake of Re'ann
- find her in a town by the name of Forsque where she supposedly is situated
- trina's crime was the facilitation of illegal magic
- transported steel to be turned into hellfire metal
- from Unab's Valley to Dealthorr
- they don't know who she transported the steel to
- they know it was for making hellfire metal because it has to be heated via magic for 7 days, and she was transporting them in a wagon that doubled as a magic forge of sorts so she could heat the metal along the way
- Trina needs to come back alive
- Return her to the watchtower outside of town. The guards there will recognize her and take it from there.

battuda - date and weapons shop
champa - different magic items store
aelar - magic items
al - blackboard
akiem - job hunt

AT Forsque
They will need to ask around to find Trina Wells.
She is at Harken's Ale, and if they ask the barkeep about her she'll try to stealthily leave as the barkeep says he just served her. Players will need to make perception checks or have her slip away. If she gets away, a chase will ensue in the town.
