Glaugust 25 - d6666 Upcoming Executions
Random Encounter Table: Dangerous Badass About To Be Executed (think Zoro's introduction in One Piece)
The prisoner to be executed is...
- Ser Elora Bluestrake, the Queen's Champion and the Ribbon Knight.
- Caiaphas Berlow, Captain of the brigandine Brazen Maiden.
- Barsa, a cantankerous but well-known theologian, philosopher, and author.
- Asik Wood, cat burglar, contortionist, and local heart-throb.
- Fegard the Cyan, unlicensed wizard and rumored diabolist.
- "Big Lucia," a colossal silver church bell.
They have been sentenced to death for the crime(s) of...
- their liege and lord. Someone has to go to the gallows to avoid royal embarrassment.
- piracy, smuggling, and the attempted bribery of officials of the court.
- impiety, indecency, and corrupting the youth.
- trespassing, grand larceny, and flagrant adultery.
- performing forbidden magics that risk the stability of the Mundane World.
- falling from a great height onto the Bishop during their recent visit, instantly crushing him.
The method of execution will be...
- decapitation by the royal headsman.
- hanging by the neck followed by public display as a warning to others.
- poison, either drunk straight from the flask or injected into a symbolically appropriate food item.
- a rigged duel versus the aggrieved party (or their champion).
- determined soon. Their captors don't know what to do with them just yet.
- being melted down in a great crucible.
They seem unconcerned because...
- while they are innocent, they are oath-bound to accept their punishment without flinching.
- they anticipate their followers arriving to spring them any moment now.
- they have already put the terrible truth they know into circulation and they would rather die than recant.
- they have already slipped their bonds and are just waiting for the right moment to make a break for it.
- they are warded against physical harm and their captors know it.
- they are composed of solid metal and thus incapable of showing concern.
