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

I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.
Well this is fun... Oh, friend. The fun hasn't even begun. Maybe for you. Oh, it's only a joke. You're not here to be hurt. Just asked a couple questions. See? These chains are unlocked.  What sort of questions... Questions about a very stupid, gaudy man who may have said something about overthrowing the King. Wallace?  What about Wallace? Well, I am an executioner. I have...professional business with him. Have you heard anything about him in the area? Seen him at the bar? He's seemed a bit off lately to be honest, I keep catching him talking to a dog you see/ Well, quite good for him. It'll be wonderful to go without an execution this month. Do you mean, he will be let off? Oh no, he'll be flogged and probably beaten heavily. If the king feels especially ornery, he might go for a mock hanging. If he needed sympathy, he should've spoken to a priest.
