As a huge fan of racks, I'm looking forward to it.Thank you for the encouraging words. For her next examination day, poor Agnes will be stretched to her limits.
Thank you Sir, but I'm not the only rack aficionado here on CF, and I'm sure everyone appreciates these rack images. I recognized the classic early racking mechanism and you did an outstanding job recreating it. Well done, and thank you for sharing.The first rendering is especially for @wulf because of his fondness for racks. I went with historical accuracy, basing it on a classic illustration, but also modeled it after one of his favorite pictures.

Keep the torture coming. The story is just getting good.Thank you again, everyone.
On her fifth day, Anges was put on the rack!
The pain was unbearable and Anges knew her torturers would stop if she confessed. But she summoned every ounce of fleeting strength she had and continued to resist. From the corner of her eye, she could see the High Examiner filled with frustration.

Can't believe I'm only just seeing this thread. Fantastic stuff @Steve ! Words and images both!Thank you again, everyone. The one-day reprieve is over!
On the fourth day of her examination, Agnes was subjected to the savage simplicity and effectiveness of a flogging.
Agnes was surprised by its ferocity. She had been whipped with a birch as a child, but nothing prepared her for this.
