They march you through the castle to stairs going down.
The rough-hewn stairs lead down to a large dungeon, whose cold, dank walls seem to leech the warmth from body and soul. The central chamber contains all the usual trappings of these foul places, but unusually it has two iron maidens, one of which is closed, the other open. In front of the closed maiden is a metal bowl, which is slowly fi lling with blood trickling through a narrow opening in the device’s base.
Standing before the closed iron maiden, stroking it as if caressing a lover, is a stunningly beautiful woman, her black clothes in striking contrast to her porcelain skin.
Two sides of the dungeon are lined with cells, in which huddle a dozen half naked young girls, wild-eyed with fear.
The guards inform the Baroness that they have caught trespassers. The evil Baroness studies the prisoners closely and singles out Ataan.
"A man will make a nice change to my master’s usual diet," she purrs.
"Let him taste the maiden’s kiss," she says as she gestures to the open iron maiden.
"Execute the others."OOC:
