  Trial by ordeal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trial by ordeal is a judicial practice by which the guilt or innocence of the accused is determined by subjecting them to a painful task.
Another type of trial by water, used specifically against women suspected of adultery, tested the accused by requiring that she consume 'bitter water' and be condemned only if 'her belly shall swell and her thigh shall rot'.

As this report details, the fires of 1997-98 were the direct and inevitable outcome of forest and land-use policies and practices unleashed by the Suharto regime and perpetuated by a corrupt culture of "crony capitalism" that elevated personal profit over public interest, the environment or the rule of law.

Later, after the blaze is out, she learns that the fire got between her and her exit -- dangerous, since she could have become trapped.

 Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire
I enjoyed battling the brigands and giant scorpions of Trial by Fire more than the villains of Hero's Quest, because the combat system has been revamped and improved.
In a major leap forward over Hero's Quest, Trial by Fire lets your characters advance to higher classes; a fighter strives to become a paladin, for instance.
Trial by Fire supports everything from 16-color VGA to Hercules and sound boards that haven't even been invented yet, but it doesn't employ the "cinemagraphics" and icon interface of King's Quest V.

 "Trial By Fire" Album Review -- USPFC's On-Line Album Review: Trial By Fire
There are positive points and negative points to everything in life, and Journey's reunion album, "Trial By Fire," is no exception.
Track fourteen, "Trial By Fire," is a pretty good title track for this album; although, even though it's good, because of the ballads that precede it, it seems watered down by now.
The only thing going for it is that it has some jazzy guitar on the "Trial By Fire track," the beginning of the album rocks you into the mood, and it's a nice farewell to frontman, Steve Perry's, twenty-year Journey with the group.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Trial of Fire
And, while broadly familiar, her ongoing cycle proves difficult to resist, at least for those seeking respite from the same old twice and thrice-told tales written with scant creativity or skill, where only the character and place names change.
As is perhaps to be expected, the pacing for Trial of Fire is a bit more frenetic than earlier books, yet for the most part there never exists a sense that the author is not firmly in control of her story.
Still, the success of work such as George R.R. Martin's darker A Song of Ice and Fire or the bittersweet conclusion to Robin Hobb's Farseer series offers hope that as a genre, high fantasy may yet be able to free itself of the shackles of repetitive and banal romanticization.
