The clock's gongs sound out at 17:42, drawing the crew like moths to a flame. Scourge and Plugg arrive quickly enough, and though you are not slated for punishment tongiht, Scourge stills seems poised to dish out
something. His whip stretches uncoiled at his side as he addresses the anxious crowd.
"Tis' the Bloody Hour once more. Th' line looms large this evenin', as we 'ave four scallywags to discipline. Aretta Bansion! Fipps Chumlett! Jaundiced Jape! Slippery Sy Lonegan!" As he calls out the names, each pirate hesitantly steps forward. You are surprised by the names, as it didn't seem like their hostilities this morning were likely to be punished. Perhaps Scourge wasn't behind it, or more like he wants to cover up his involvement by appearing to enact discipline.
The master-at-arms continues,
"For dereliction of duty, I assign the punishment of three lashes each!" The pronouncement of the "crime" suddenly hits you. These pirates aren't being lashed for trying to assault you; they're being lashed because they failed to!
Over the next several minutes, the crack of the whip and the cries of the crowd ring out over the ocean water. The pirates comport themselves well enough, and none of them pass out. After each receives their punishment, and are unbound and helped down from the whipping post, they look to
you with malice in their eyes.
Once the bloody hour is concluded, everyone files below decks for rum and rations.
