The deliberations does not take as long as was expected, the Most Devout file in to take their seats after having been absent for not much longer than they would need to perform the customary rites and prayers and the quiet individual contemplation as tradition demands must be involved before discussing and reaching a consensus, and afterwards to ensure that they do not err. Septon Roswyn motions for those assembled to find their seats, he solemnly declares that while many have different opinions on this subject of great controversy, The Most Devout must examine the accounts of events in the light of The Seven Pointed Stars and such hallowed texts and precedence as has been handed down from their predecessors and found to stand the test of time. The will of The Seven Who Are One is only revealed individually to those of the faith, and their words and wishes are often difficult to interpret, and thus opinions may differ and not necessarily right and wrong.
While Septon Roswyn's ability as a speaker is no match for one such as Septon Abelar, his words are masterfully weighted for the occasion, each septon carries a prism, of which he may catch the rays of the sun, he continues, it is to remind us that while the light appears not to have any particular color, it does in fact have seven, but when it shines upon an object, often only one of them is seen. And thus it is not wrong to say that the light of the seven is blue, because it is blue, but it is also red and green and all the rest. And so it is with the truth, it has many layers, many aspects, and thus what might seem right at first, what might seem to be the will of The Seven Who Are One is only a part of it. It is therefore that The Seven bids us forgive one another after disagreements so that the faithful might rejoin their efforts to help one another do the good works of The Seven Who Are One.
At least half those in the room cares not for the sermon, they had not come to pray, they had come to see a septon be judged, and more than half of those assembled had hoped to see him judged harshly. Perhaps as many as three quarters had hoped to see him judged harshly. These men and women are left disappointed as Ser Roswyn unfurls the scroll on which all seven of the Most Devout have affixed their seal, indicating that there is not a single dissenting voice among their number. Anticipatory silence fills the Starry Sept as Septon Roswyn waits for a few long moments before reading out the official words.
The Tribunal have found no evidence that Septon Abelar have been in violation of any of his vows or duties and hereby declares him free of all guilt by the laws handed down to man by The Father Above.
Which member might have been swayed: 1d6 3 Umma. Possible outcomes of Parmen's duel accounted for. It does not affect the decision of the tribunal, but he may yet win glory.
The Tribunal unanimously clears Abelar of all charges. This would probably have resulted in trial by combat if Abelar hadn't gotten his hands on the blackmail material.
