Nate is taken to the X, and his wrists strapped in. Before stepping back, the coporal leans over and says something quietly to NateNate: [spoiler]"Feel free to curse up a blue streak. Custom has it that a man is not held to account for his language under the lash. It helps," he concludes with a shrug.[/spoiler]The rest of the seventh, the sergeant, Ghest, Garival, and Rhys and Owen stand about 20 feet back. The sergent nods and the corporal begins. The first stroke leaves a bloody line across his back, and the corporal leaps back as if bitten. He fingers the whip butt nervously. His next two strokes are tentative. The second and third leave more of an angry whelt than a wound. The corporal glances in the sergeants direction, but the sergeant stands impassively, his face expressionless. The corporal licks his lips nervously before raising his arm again. The fourth stroke is firm, and once again leaves a bloody line across Nate's back. Nate slumps forwards, his weight hanging from his arms. The sergeant nods to Ghest, who grabs a pitcher of water he had brought with him, and the two cross the ground between themselves and Nate. Ghest dumps half the contents over Nates head, and Nate comes up spluttering."Look at me," the sergeant commands. "Whats your name son?" "Who am I?" "Where are you?" After Nate responds to each of the questions, he nods. "Two more then its done," says the sergeant flatly before walking back to where he started.The fifth stroke slaps wetly against Nate's back. The corporal flushes bright red.The sixth stroke leaves a third bloody red line across Nate's back. Nate slumps back into unconsciousness.ooc: 31 points non lethal damage. 3 points lethal damage. see ooc thread for details. I've fudged the rules a bit (ie: the lethal dam). But feel free to let me know if I have made any mechanical errors.</blockquote>
