Scarecrow Torture

Roleplay from Xanio (just in)
Message sent to everyone in your realm (80 recipients)
Xanio sits in his dining hall. A scribe walks up to him and whispers something. Xanio nods and heads off. Walking down the hall of his estate in Axzaloc, he counts slowly. He finally stops at a tapestry, looks around, then walks through. Travelling down the sandstone hallway, deep into the earth, Xanio is guided not by sight, but instinct. He walks quicker, seeing a light, finally reaching a door with a torch. He opens the door slowly, to find a scarecrow in a chair behind a table.

Tell me... where are they?

The scarecrow does nothing... it's a scarecrow

TELL ME!

...

You son of a camel and a particularly prickly prune! Tell me. Where are they.

...

STOP MOCKING ME!

...

Fine, you play rough do ya? What do you say to THIS!?

A scribe in a hood walks in holding a female scarecrow.

Yeah, didn't think I was serious when I said your wife was next, did ya? Now, tell me. And she won't get hurt.

...

Xanio motions to the scribe. He pulls off the fe-scarecrow's hat and pulls her straw hair.

Tell me.

...

The scribe pulls harder

I have greater motivation than this.

The scribe produces a blade

...

Xanio nods. The fe-scarecrow's head falls to the floor.

...

Xanio paces

Hmph. They make you tough over in Kelperstan. Unfortunately, in Talerium we're tougher.

A gang of scribes in hoods rush over to the scarecrow, pinning him down. Xanio pulls out a dagger

Tell me. Where are they?

...

Xanio cuts off the scarecrow's hand

TELL ME!

...

TELL!

Xanio cuts the scarecrow across the chest

Do you need more... persuasion?

...

DON'T MOCK ME!

Xanio walks through a doorway into a torture chamber. The scarecrow, restrained by scribes, follows.

So, what do you want? We can make you stretchy... or perforate you, so you'll pass fluids easier. Maybe you want new eyes?

Xanio rips the hat off the scarecrow

Tell me and it's all over. You can leave. Bury your wife. Tend to your children.

...

Fine.

Scribes file in, holding small scarecrows; they're promptly executed.

Let me revise that. You can leave, bury your wife AND your children!

...

Xanio motions to the scribes. They put the scarecrow on the stretching rack

So it has to be this way? Very well.

A scribe hands Xanio a hot poker. He plunges it into the scarecrow's eyes as it is stretched.

You only did this to yourself.

The scribes throw the scarecrow into a jail cell. Xanio and the scribes leave.

Dump him in Kelperstan in a week. And buy me more scarecrows.

Xanio (Knight of Axzaloc)

Badger Assault

Eh, ya know. Always gotta pick on good old Xanio! Something about me makes people gang up on me. I blame the schools. And society. But mostly the schools.

Xanio lies down on his doghouse, trying to sleep off his drinks. Underneath him, a small badger peeks his head out.

Ma! It's the strange man who killed uncle Tom!
Mama badger leans out of the doghouse
Let's get him!
YEE HAW!
Dukes of Hazzard music

---

Xanio screams in terror at the two badgers viscously mauling
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
He rolls off the doghouse, and attempts to rip them off to no avail. Finally, he douses his head in a barrel of ale. A few minutes later, he pulls his head out leaving two inebriated badgers
That was exciting.

Meanwhile in a corner

Imagine Vincent Pryce's voice
Hmm. So he has intoxicated my family, killed my brother, and slaughtered my brethren. It is time for Papa Badger to pay him a visit.

The ninja badger flies out of the corner towards Xanio, claws extended. Xanio grabs a wooden spoon, and they fight, throwing tables and such everywhere. Eventually, they find themselves on a cart, speeding towards a cliff.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| "You'll never win!" Xanio cries out, parrying the badger's blow.

"I have nothing to lose. You shall DIE!" The badger strikes once more, furiously scratching with the occasional mauling attempt. Seeing the cliff nearby, Xanio kicks the badger and jumps off the cart...

Papa Badger grabs Xanio's leg, and snarls "You die now."

The cart flies magnificently off the cliff, and as he plummets down, Xanio grabs a well-placed branch.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A disheveled Xanio walks back into the tavern
Don't worry, it's all under control.
Xanio climbs back onto the doghouse, and goes to sleep.

//////////////////////////////////// Vincent Pryce voice again
Hmm. He thinks he has me. But I'll be back. He better be ready.

Comments here, if you wish. Long drawn out discussions go into the Talk Page

I really enjoyed that. Nice RP. Next time I meet one of your characters in a realm I care about (not Toren, it was just a place to gain H/P for me) -- Shenron
