In the March of Ehaectunc ruled by an Autocracy, a character must undergo a Trial by combat.
He has been framed by A collusion of guilds - uses resource control for leverage - and if found guilty of Embezzlement, his punishment will be Resurrection. You just need a portion of the creature’s body to bring them back to life. So, kill the prisoner and bring them back when their sentence ends.
