You have chosen to hunt at night

That night, you sneak out under the light of a full moon and shoot a deer. The gamekeeper, however, is not far away and hears the gunshot. He rides towards the sound and finds you working over the freshly killed carcass. He holds you at gunpoint, binds your hands, and locks you away for the night in the attic of the property owner's house.

The crime you have committed does not warrant a trial by jury. Instead, you are brought before the local justice of the peace, a magistrate and member of the ruling class that more often than not looked after his best interests (10). This magistrate will decide your fate. Unfortunately for you, killing a deer is one of the most harshly punished of all the game laws. To further your plight, this justice appears to be in a bad mood.

You inform the justice of the difficulties you and your family are having and your inability to provide them with food. You were simply making sure your children didn't starve. The justice has heard enough and is ready to render his decision…

There is no standardized judicial system. Sentences are not unified and more than half of the time, the convicted are eventually pardoned. You will find that these same rules hold true on this site. Your punishment is randomized. You might be found innocent, guilty, or you may receive a pardon.
