Breaking the rules of the forum will lead to further action.

Thanks

I do not think a tribunal should be held with the expectation that the priest in question can invoke their god's judgement. While this might be possible in the DnD universe, it is not a reality of the server setting. If a tribunal is held, then my expectation would be that word is set against word, where the arbiter delivers final verdict. Either to the relief or detriment of the accused.

Honestly, this sentence kinda ruins it all.

Because it sounds like you have an outcome in your head already and you are ready to protest about any other different possibility.

It kind of... takes off the meaning of something like that entirely, or getting a DM involved just to get drama if they believe a different outcome is more proper.

EDIT: I am not involved into the facts that led to this, just want to specify, that's my opinion as someone who is looking at it from the outside.

Just quoting this for truth.

I'd also recommend putting an RP post on the forum so others have an easier time interacting vs an OOC cold approach. Also, yes, there should be a Temple of Tyr in BG. I do worry that even if you go through with this, not all characters are going to care and you might still be in the negative OOC space you were? Perhaps a break from the toon would be better?

This is probably not the best approach. For other PCs, it's best to provide IC information, saving OOC information for DMs. I understand that it can be tempting to aid another player in gaining a fuller understanding of the situation, but this may fall under "metagaming", especially if their PC is expected to render judgment based on information which they did not obtain IC. It may be better to expect less of a "True" judgment and more of a subjective, fully IC judgment.

Things you may want to consider:
Is there a warrant out for your arrest. Are you even a suspect to the Holy Justice of Tyr?
If you turn yourself in are you going to be confessing that you did it or only that people are pointing fingers behind your back?
Where did the murder take place- was there laws in this jurisdiction?
Is there a body, is there a motive, is there witnesses, is there any evidence at all?
Are you just going to walk up to a priest of Tyr and say, folk are accusing me of murder but they have no proof- do something about it?

If there is an unruly mob out to get you, and dragging your good name through the mud, you could take another approach. It would make good sense acquire legal council from a Priest of Tyr regarding the details of what has happened. Naturally they will most likely want the answers to the above questions.
They may advise you to turn to the law enforcement of the jurisdiction where the mob is hunting and have you ask them for protection. This is assuming you are inocent. Otherwise they would advise you to turn yourself in, to the same law enforcement.

It would not be justice if Church of Tyr automatically judges and attempts to condemn you as a murderer.
They are there to see that truth prevails and that justice is served. Perhaps this Tyrean priest can represent you and not only try to help prove your innocence but also represent you in any legal action you want to take regarding claims of harassment and slander being done to you.
