"Bring up the rulebreakers!" Mister Plugg commanded, and the pirates force marched them to the mast where their wrists were tied to the whipping posts. Their shirts were pulled off their backs, leaving the skin exposed. Master Scourge cracked his whip, his way of letting them know what they were in for, chortling with wicked glee all the while.<br/><br/>The pirates hooted, especially the men who leered at Asra's back and tried to peer around to get a lustful look at her breasts. All in all they were treating this as entertainment, and seemingly didn't care whether the punishment was just or not. The most sympathetic were the other newly impressed crew, who looked neutral to disgusted at the spectacle, but even they looked unwilling to act against the officers for fear of bringing down similar punishment upon themselves. Kali would find no help here.<br/><br/>Master Scourge took a step forward and brought his lash down with skill, with just the right amount of snap of the wrist to inflict maximum main upon a naked back. The leather thong crashed into Jarod first, leaving an ugly red welt on the gnome's back. After the single lash Athoros was next, and no mercy was shown Asra either as she was whipped just as brutally as the previous two.<br/><br/>The pirates watching roared with laughter at their screams of pain as Master Scourge indulged in a bit of showmanship and spun his whip overhead in loops before bringing it down again for the second lash, in the same order as before.<br/><br/>By the third lash, their backs were bloody and the pain was enough to send them into the blissful darkness of unconsciousness, one by one.<br/><br/>"You", Mister Plugg pointed at Kali when all was done, "untie your friends and get them out of my sight. And the rest of you!" He raised his voice towards the rest of the crew, "this is the price of insubordination! Learn it and obey!"
