"But my lord! Please you must let me explain!" exclaimed the nervous fox as he was pulled through the halls of Marshank to the dungeon by several Marshank soldiers. "Quiet, I don't know what you've been doing all this time while away, but I'll be more willing to listen when we have a nice method of persuasion to use on you, just to be safe." said Badrang, who was following behind them, along with the rat minion, Gurrad. Reaching the dungeon room, various torture devices and restraints surrounded them. " I do think that we are in need of something simple, but effective for our little conversation............ to the rack with him!" The two soldiers quickly drug him to the rack and forced Skalrag upon it. "No! NO! Badrang! Please! This isn't necessary! I swear I'll tell you the truth!" The soldier's ripped off the fox's cape, leaving him bare chested and barefoot, securing his hands and feet to the torture device. "No matter how loyal a servant or a soldier is, there's always room for treason and intrigue in this world, and I don't intend to play it safe! With the fox now helpless and bound to the rack, he had not choice but to await Badrang's questions and whatever punishment might befall him.

Badrang nodded to Gurrad, who began to slowly turn the rack crank, slowly stretching the helpless fox informer. "Uhhhhhgh, w-Wait! NO! What's going on! You, uhgh, haven't even questioned me yet!" said the confused Skalrag as he began feeling his body stretching out. "Oh, the stretching isn't the real torture, consider it to be just a warm up to what we really have in mind." Now more scared then confused, Skalrag couldn't think of what other form of torture that was more painful and intimidating then being stretched on the rack. After a few inches, Skalrag's body was stretched out to the point where he began to feel a significant amount of pressure, but nothing too painful. "Now then my "faithful informer" what all did you do while your were with Clogg's group for all those days, I prey you didn't have any cowardly thoughts about turning to their side when they captured you?" asked Badrang. "N-no, no my lord. I wouldn't join that pathetic excuse of a stoat even if my life depended on it!" answered the nervous fox. "Hmmmmmmm, I do appropriate good loyalty, but something doesn't feel right, and I'm going to find it out..........DO IT!" Upon ordering Gurrad, the rat took out to pairs of feathers and began brushing them on the sides of the fox. "Wha-Oh Ah Ahahahahahahahahaha! Wait! AHHHHHHhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! No Please My Lord! Ha ha ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha! Please Not That! Ha ha ha Ha Ha ha Ha! I'm loyal to you, Badrang! Ha Ha ha ha Ha Ha ha Ha! I swear it!" Skalrag screamed with laughter. "Hah, loyalty. I simply sent you on a simple mission to spy on Clogg and his crew, but you simply couldn't do that! Not only that you might be a traitor, but a clumsy one at that. Do His Feet!" With a wicked smile, Gurrad walked down the rack to the fox's restrained feet and began brushing the feathers up and down his orange soles. "Ahhhhhhhhh! Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Please! No! Not There! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I Can't Take It Any More! Ha Ha Ha ha ha Ha Ha! Please Have Mercy, My Lord! I Can't Stand It!" Bellowed out Skalrag, who was starting to tear up in his eyes. " Hrumph! Why should I bother? I don't give mercy to traitors, or to failures for that matter. said Badrang coldly. " Please! Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I will answer anything! I will answer any question, your Lordship! I swear to you I'm innocent! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I'll Do Anything!" Thinking a bit Badrang gestured for Gurrad to stop. " Hmmmmmm, Maybe I have been a bit too hard on you Skalrag. Lets start with this. How many of my prisoners escaped from the pit into the boats?" Badrang questioned. " F-Five there were five of t-them that escaped. Skalrag answered as he tried to catch his breath, but Badrang wasn't buying the answer. " Funny, there were only 3 prisoners in the pit the last time I checked. Bah! Nothing more then a lying scoundrel, just as I thought!" said Badrang angerly. "B-But wait, I thought there were five?! Wait! Wait! I swear I'm not a traitor!" said a scared Skalrag. "Silence! I've had enough of you. Gurrad bring over some berry sauce." Gurrad then went over to a table and put a jar on the edge of the rack and then went out of the dungeon room. Skalrag raised and eyebrow. "Berry sauce?" said the confused fox. "Oh, the berry sauce isn't really for you............it's for them."

Badrang pointed to the door, which Gurrad re-entered, with two goats by his side! Realizing what was going to happen to him, Skalrag got really scared. "Oh No! NO! NO Please! NO!" yelled Skalrag as he watched Gurrad smear the sauce on his feet. " Please, Don't Do This! I can't prove to you that I'm on your side! I swear I can!" Skalrag continued to plead, but Badrang was tired of it. "Enough! I've had enough of your pathetic pleas, now your going to pay for your treachery." Gurrad lead the goat's over to Skalrag's feet, the goat's eventually smelling the sauce and immediately began licking the fox's feet, while Badrang and Gurrad began to use feather's to tickle each of Skalrag's sides, plus with a few extra rack stretches from Gurrad. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! I CAN'T TAKE IT! PLEASE MY LORD! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I CAN'T STAND IT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT'S TOO MUCH! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE MAKE THEM STOOOOOOOOOOP! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

"Heh Heh, You know Skalrag. Usually a filthy traitor and conspirator like you would be put to death. But now that I think of it, that does seem a bit to quick and easy." said Badrang as he pondered a bit. "Maybe you and along with any other fool who gets in my way, can experience a true horrific sentence for their crimes against what I stride for. Heh Heh, you best get used to this place, because your going to be here for a long time. Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
