the whipping station is just a large wooden platform that serves to embarrass the peasant villagers that sin, they also hang adulterers and homosexuals.

villager
priests
I officiate over weddings.  I dislike the dark arts.  I perform exorcisms.
Not if you don't sin Aye sir, I keep my nose clean and my hands busy.   Then no need to whip you.I am looking for homosexuals today No funny business for me.  I like my women buxom and hearty.  Okay. Do you know any in the village? Nay father, the only mischief I know of is the local children venturing into the forbidden woods. That is good. Let me keep walking Father, have you heard the rumors that a witch lives in the woods? Yes. If you know any i can help exorcise demons from them Sometimes I wonder if she really lives out there or if we just say that to keep the children from the woods.  It makes me want to go investigate myself.  Should I father? Go ahead and get back to me So I should venture into the woods?
