He declares you innocent of witchcraft but guilty of association

Status: Naked and imprisoned in a medieval basement

"Bring her to me!" the Baron commands.

Hands reach out for you as you stand still, paralyzed with fright. You are lifted into the air and carried, then placed directly in front of the Baron.

You manage to find words. Since they want to scapegoat witches, you decide you'd better do the same.

You drop onto your knees and look pleadingly up at the baron. "An evil warlock did this, Your Lordship!"

The crowd gasps, and the Baron looks down at you with interest. The Baron's lips are pursed. "I'm sure he was also a follower of that abomination, Protestantism!"

You nod meekly. "Yes, Your Lordship. When he saw how beautiful I was, he desired to court me. When I found out he was a miserable Protestant, a fact he had tried to conceal, I broke off the courtship. Then he angrily pointed a finger at me, muttered an incantation, and I popped up here... without my clothes."

"I should have known from the start!" the Baron growls. "I will still have to confine you in my basement, as you have been tainted by witchcraft. Tomorrow I send a message to Sir Trent. We will raise an army and wipe out the evil rule of the..."

He pauses, biting back his anger.

"...Protestant heathen, Duke Flemming!"

The crowd cheers wildly as the Baron leads you into his basement. You suspect that most of them will volunteer to join his army.

The door closes behind you. You are now a prisoner. How long did you set that recall band for, anyway?
