...Jesus, I'm so sorry, I have no idea why I didn't get this notif.
You can invent any mechanism that helps you. Honestly, con the hell out of this. To start you off: the court reporter Betha is a half blind retiree who often keeps writing in undecipherable scrawl when her quill's run out of ink.
Then you have the court usher, who keeps dropping files. And the court guard, who'll take any bribe in the book.
So, the 'temporary jails' (before you're moved to proper prisons in a few days) are basically overhauled Sanctuary rooms. They're sometimes glorified closets, sometimes a tiny bit better. The assumption here is that you're a citizen of Serthica, so you'd ultimately get caught if you ran to either Eidris or Minaras — this isn't really a concern for the party, because they're not natives, so they can just bounce in a month.
