Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 137197" data-attributes="member: 2020">The Atrocity of Mina(William, Player of Hazen, agreed to this by prior arrangement via e-mail.)  In Veluna Square, before everyone, in a public place where all can witness it, something horrible is happening.  Mina arrives, triumphant in the ghastly armor of the Knights of Neraka, her honor guard with her.  From the other direction, comes Hazen, stripped, naked.  Grim faced soldiers of the Kevellond League are with him.  Mina gestures, and black chains appear, hanging in mid-air, radiating a dreadful cold.    To these chains Mina firmly affixes Hazen's hands, then she chants, and the chains lift him off his feet.  Mina reaches forth, and her hand connects with Hazen's chest.  Purple light blasts forth.  Hazen screams, and all can see the Shadow of the Heart (but it LOOKS like his actual heart) that she has taken from Archcleric Hazen.  The soldiers of the Kevellond League do not interfere, but form a half ring, with the Knights of Neraka forming the other half, around Mina and Hazen.  Then Mina takes forth a dreadful whip, made out of metal, 7 feet long ... the kind of whip that would make a dinosaur take a step backward.  Mina speaks, and the Banner of the One God is raised, in Veluna City.  The Banner of the Kevellond League, remains, but it is lowered ... it is lowered below that of the One God.  Then Hazen speaks (this is from the e-mail):  I apologize for any insults that I have directedtowards the One God and retract such offensivestatements as I have made.  I have not abandoned myfaith or my senses.  I am going to the Blood Wastes. I urge all who can do so, to join me there.  Then Mina speaks, coldly:  This person has insulted the One God, insulted me, insulted the very heart of Krynn.  He has apologized in his words.  Now, he shall apologize, in the flesh.  He shall receive 200 lashes for his crimes, and then the One God will reconsider admitting him into consideration of love and protection, should he choose it.  Now, however, is the time for payment to be exacted.  Mina sweeps back the whip, employing it with tremendous, magically aided strength.  Then Mina stops, and speaks in an icy voice:  YOU!  OUT!  There shall be no warding of the pain, no protection for the flesh of the guilty!  He will not die - my spell has seen to that.  Be assured he will be perfectly ok when his punishment is completed ... indeed, he will be purified.  The Angel that had placed itself inside of Hazen to protect him, steps out.  It looks at Mina, and it's kindly face is filled with anger, and a great light radiates from it.  However, Mina faces back, undaunted, and she says:  I will immerse myself in the Blood Waste, and Oerth shall be spared.  The One God wishes living subjects, not a dead world killed by the Blood Goo.  The Angel speaks, it's melodic, ethereal voice angered:  Then why not do that?    Why must you do this?  This is the way to darkness and ruin.  Mina replies:  No.  This is the way to justice.  Justice to the One God.  Will you interfere, Angel?  The Angel ... actually looks enraged, and EVERYONE but Mina falls back in shock from this, but then the Angel looks sad, and it says:  We cannot stop you, as you know well.  We URGE you to reconsider this act.  We URGE you to consider the consequences.  There is always another way, Mina.  Mina regards the Angel darkly:  THIS is the way of the One God.  Where punishment is due, punishment shall be meted out!  She draws back the whip for the first strike.  The guards, watch grimly.  The Angel turns away, crying openly.</blockquote>
