[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 1123067, member: 3448"] Session 6 (cont'd): A few hours later, the entire group reassembles to attend the execution. Several people don't really want to go, but it could be dangerous if the crowd gets riled up and the cath Helurs may be offended if they don't attend. The group heads to the main square in the Docks, where the execution is to take place. Lhovrik and Dove stand with the cath Helurs, while Ginara and Melania blend into the crowd and Sister Aurora does her own inimitable impression of blending into a crowd while wearing bright colored robes and carrying a badly concealed spear. A large scaffolding has been erected at one side of the square. Near the scaffolding, a tall stake stands with a pile of firewood at its base. A fairly large crowd has assembled. Aurora calls on Luirta to detect evil; while there are a few evil people scattered throughout the crowd, she does not see any large groups or particularly strong auras. Dove notices that a few of the people in the crowd are wearing Vergdunian holy symbols, while Melania keeps an eye on some of the people who seem most agitated. A slow drum beat starts playing and a heavily armed procession of guards files into the square. At the front of the procession is a group of three Inquisitors in formal robes. One of the inquisitors has a small shape about the size of a hawk, on his shoulder, completely covered by a hood. In the middle of the procession of guards are the three prisoners, all in chains. Aral and Malin are lead up the scaffolding and positioned next to nooses. A priest of the Church Imperial speaks quietly with each of them. The Vergdunian priest is led to the stake. The chief inquisitor removes the hood from the shape on his shoulder. The shape is a strange white creature, with a profusion of wings emerging from its center and eyes spaced evenly around its body between the wings. It spreads its wings in every direction and rises into the air. Sister Aurora, recognizing the minor celestial as a creature that remembers all that it can see, stares in wide-eyed admiration. The Inquisitor withdraws a scroll. He reads out the charges of kidnapping, murder, and illicit religious conspiracy against Aral and Malin, that they have been convicted by a proper court, and that they have been sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. Aral looks at Melania, who tries to look anywhere but back at Aral. As the Inquisitor finishes, he signals to the executioner. The platform beneath Aral and Malin falls, and the sentence is carried out. The Inquisitor places that scroll back in a case and withdraws a second scroll. As he reads from it, the crowd can see that the condemned priest is yelling wildly, but they cannot hear him. A magical silence effect must have been placed on him. The Inquisitor reads out the charge, conviction, and sentence. After invoking Luirta's justice and the hellfire the priest faces, the Inquisitor makes a second signal and several burning brands are touched to the wood at the base of the stake. Smoke and fire rises around the silently screaming priest. End of Session 6 [/QUOTE]
