Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20170323170136

Several months ago, you and your son had moved into a small town. Your mother had passed weeks before the move, so you were a single father. You managed to get along with the townsfolk as you spent time in your new home, eventually getting invited to gatherings and such.

One day, as your walking through the town, you notice a massive crowd standing out in the fields. Going to investigate, you find your son tied to a post outside of a cave, and the mayor is standing on a podium, giving a speech.

"This boy has been trusted by all of us throughout his time here, but now, he has broken our most sacred law!" the mayor declares as he leans forward and snarls, "He used puns!"

All is silent as the mayor continues, "As you know, the use of puns are forbidden in this town, and the penalty for this crime is to be decided by...the Takers!"

Your son spots you and calls out, "Dad, could you help me out, I'm a little tied up here!"

This earns a gasp from the crowd and the mayor shouts to your son, "Silence!"

He looks to the cave and says, "The Takers determine what happens to those have committed this act, some have returned, their minds purified, though pervy, and others...were never seen again, but, they only come out, when the wrongful one...is alone!"

Just then, you notice a Mindflayer peek out from the cave, seemingly confused by the whole situation.
