When to strip??

Great pictures, especially that last one! But that hammer is way too small for driving a nail that size - it needs to be at least twice that big to have enough weight to develop the kinetic energy you'd need, and the executioner needs to take a bigger swing to get some power behind it.

Jedakk

Thanks, Jedakk, I'll give your man a bigger tool :D

From here on in it's a fairly standard story, I've been drawing furiously so I'll do the rest of the story, rather than keeping everyon waiting.
 
The second nail is done just as professionally as the first. After the first strike there is really no need to hold Diana’s arm still, the nail is a good inch into the wood and that wrist won’t be parted from the cross again in Diana’s lifetime.

All cooperation has left Diana, with her wrists now pinioned through two points of agony. She attempts to prevent the next stage by pulling her foot away from Jedakk’s man, but he expertly catches it and pulls it back towards the cross.

With a piece of rope he trusses Diana’s feet to the cross, heels astride the stipes. Feeling that Diana’s had more pain already than she deserves, you ask him if he’s just going to tie her feet to the cross. “Not fucking likely,” he replies, “Do you think Master Jedakk will keep me on as his senior executioner if I start fannying around tying people to crosses? No, this is to hold her still while I nail her. Your job is to hang onto these ropes for all you are worth, because she’ll kick like a fucking mule when I start work.”
“I thought you usually nailed the feet to the front, are you going to nail her heels to the side?”
“Either’s fine, but this way her foot can swivel on the nail as she pushes herself up and down, so it makes a better show for the punters. It is more painful, but of course you’ve been dispensing drugged fucking wine so it doesn’t matter, does it?”
Your heart sinks, but fortunately Diana was busy moaning to herself “I’ve done nothing wrong, I’ve done nothing wrong.” So she might not realise that you’ve actually made things worse for her.
She raises her head as far as the nails will allow to see what is going to happen to her feet. For a moment she, too, thinks her feet are just going to be tied, but then she sees Jedakk’s man with another nail, and sinks back onto the cross with a groan.

Jedakk’s man hits the nail in sideways, there’s no way it can bite as deeply, and there’s just a scrunching sound as the nail goes through the bone. The cross bangs against your knee, which hurts, but you’re too busy fighting Diana, desperately trying to pull her legs away while screaming again at the top of her voice.

It’s still done in moments. The hammer blows are shorter but more rapid, and he reaches across almost without breaking rhythm and bangs another nail into the other heel just as quickly. Suddenly the rope is superfluous to requirements. Diana’s screams subside into loud sobbing as you unwind the rope leaving her securely fixed to a wooden cross for the rest of her short life.

“You!” Jedakk’s man calls to one of the big men, who’s been busy arranging stipes on the ground for the rest of the dead Roman’s household. “Raise it!” The guy is clearly one of Jedakk’s slaves, judging by his instant, unthinking obedience, and by the fact that he’d carried on working when he’d clearly rather have been watching Diana’s crucifixion.
He comes over, grabs the cross and starts to lift. “No! Wait!” yells Diana, “I’ve had enough – no more, please!”

But slaves obey their masters, not doomed nude girls on crosses, so the lift continues. Diana knows she’s had all the mercy she’s going to get, and murmurs ‘Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no no’ all the way up.

Jedakk’s man bangs a wedge into the socket, to keep the cross steady. Job done. The slave goes off to his work, Jedakk’s man stands back and admires his handiwork, grunting with satisfaction. Still sobbing, there hangs Diana, naked and crucified.

The other victims will have their own guards to hold them down while Jedakk’s man does his work. Your job is to keep an eye on Diana and yell for the garrison in the nearby tower if there’s any attempt at rescue.

You need a pee, there are lots of people about, but who cares? You step behind the cross and pee up against the town wall. Suddenly you hear Diana screaming again, the sound echoing off the town walls. You turn and you can see her writhing as she tries to work out how to push against the nails in her heels, so that she can raise herself for air. It’s the dance of death, and you rush for a better view….

Diana hangs there, weeping and gasping, as the day wears on, punctuated by the screams and noise of other crucifixions, pushing herself up every twenty minutes or so; on one occasion she used that precious air to scream “I’ve…..done….nothing….wrong!”

Each breath she takes has a moaning sound, each slightest movement brings louder groans. You watch Diana suffering the long, enduring loneliness of crucifixion. Although exposed as intimately to strangers as most are only to lovers, the crucified are cut off from the rest of the human race from the moment the first nail is driven. Only they can know the agony, the humiliation, and, in Diana’s case, the injustice of their fate. None can ever tell the tale later. As you stand and look at her, you try and imagine what she is going through, still only too aware that it must be worse than your worst imaginings. You remember her thanks, and her little joke, and realise that you participated the last coherent conversation of her life.

Thanks to all for positive comments, and advice, and special thanks to Jedakk for the loan of his squad! :)
That's all for now.

Best wishes

Wragg
 
This is a nice effort. Someday I may have to try my hand at drawing - I can't produce anything without a computer!

And you're welcome to borrow my crucifixion squad anytime you come across a bad girl who needs to pay the price for her evil ways! :)

Or a bad boy who adds an unwanted 'L' into Carnifex, gives your staff inadequate tools, and forgot that Sabina's carnifex had a name?

:oops:

OTOH we didn't seem to get onto first name terms with him.

Just for a smile, I had written this one last scene, then didn't include it, because I thought it a bit too cheeky:

Eventually, the whole household is crucified, and Jedakk’s man wanders back into town, his work done. He nods as he passes you, and you call him, “Excuse me – can I know your name? I can’t keep calling you “Jedakk’s man.”
“My friends,” he says, “call me Admihoek.”
 
merci beaucoup mastro:D but......................
be all fingers and thumbs
 
LOL! So now I'm the grand carnifex with my minions out crucifying girls. As it happens, one of my granddaughters gave birth yesterday and I became a great-grandfather, and since "jedak" means "your grandfather" in Arabic, maybe I should become Jedakk the Great now! :pgrandpere.png
