okay okay so I had a dream about a robin hood-style band of outlaws who were captured in a group by royal guards.
The leader was interrogated in front of his men by having arrows driven into his legs, which were then tugged on and moved around while embedded there to cause more pain and damage. When threatened to have it done to his arms too, he cracked, spilling vital information/confessing to the group's crimes in front of his men.
The rest of the outlaws were pretty pissed off, and shunned him, even when he was begging for help/water after the guards left.
#it was very Neat!#i also remember them tying strings to the arrows and pulling them around but idr why exactly or what that didnthat tugging didn't#but as a result have a non-dream idea:#impaling his arms/wrists with arrows as well then tying rope to them and making him dance like a puppet :D#<<if i was writing this that would be the exact threat they'd use to crack him#dream log#whump dream#fantasy whump#team leader whump#torture#betrayal#whump prompt
