What a distasteful deed, truly! The mere thought of this lady's murder in the house of her own poor father is verily freezing my blood. In my lands, those who have done something like that would have been punished in the most severe way.
But I think there is no need to truly execute such a punishment, when it comes to that... that's our purpose now, I guess. To start, I know some of you from before - some of you I have met in courts of faraway places, or even on battlefields, either by my side or even against me - but there are quite many of you whom I know very little or not at all. Namely, the one pirate, that strange Black Númenorean artist and the sorceress are ones I have not seen before. Well, I guess it does not matter that much now - at least, I might have a kind of "fresh" view of you, unbiased by any previous encounters. And even with the others, actually - it has been a long time since I have traveled to meetings like this, so let us hope that I will be able to use both my experience with you and the rested mind to determine where the hidden killers are. I guess there is not much to say for the beginning, but I am looking forward to seeing more of you speak, so then... I shall be listening to you now for some time, so hope you will speak up.

Could there be a greater mark of dishonor than killing the hostess? Perhaps maybe their next target will be a mere child!

Fortunately, there is no child among us, as far as I am aware (though perhaps one might start to ask what age are some of us).

I see the mere thought of death makes this Legate lose his wits and reason. Don't mention it anyone, it's too upsetting! He'll be no use if we need some steel so we should probably discount him.
Also this Shasta, for whom an evil child couldn't possibly exist. Ah, humans...

But whatever. I would like to see who else is here to speak up.

By the way, I would like us to generally at least try to say more than just a few words concerning our outside business: after all, now we are facing a situation far more imminent. Whatever important matters await us in our homes, it is irrelevant if we don't get out of here alive.
