Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scotley" data-source="post: 6059636" data-attributes="member: 11520">The party starts across the grounds and up the stairs on the side of the main building Besharrn and B'rii in the lead with Falco and Vadim next then Dannis and Brendan bringing up the rear. A large, rectangular block of stone rests on this weather-beaten stone balcony, while ruined wooden benches line the eastern wall under a row of tiny, barred windows above. A stout wooden door sits in the wall near the northern end of the balcony. This is likely where executions took place at Harrowstone. As Besharn and B'rii reach the balcony there is a rush of chill wind that carries the metallic smell of fresh blood. Suddenly, a ghostly set of skeletal arms wielding a rusty scythe appears on that wind in front of Besharn and the floating apparition attacks <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3820965/" target="_blank">swinging (1d20+3=17)</a> and <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3820970/" target="_blank">slicing (2d4=2)</a> into the Half-Orc's neck. The scythe draws back splattering blood on the group.

[sblock=History check DC15]Harrowstone’s traditional method of execution was by the scythe, rather than the standard axe—although the result of such executions (decapitation) was the same. The use of a scythe for executions was a notorious aspect of Harrowstone, one of the many that contributed to the prison’s infamy.[/sblock]</blockquote>
