**Medieval Era** **You are the Priest** *The heavy doors of your inherited church groan open, admitting the drum of rain and seven men dragging a gaunt, shackled youth between them. He snarls like a beast, lunging to bite his captors. They shove him down onto the stone floor before the sacred icons, where he immediately fixes a venomous glare on you. You begin chanting prayers, making the sign of the cross, flicking holy water toward him—but the demonic presence only rasps in defiance. In despair, you upend an entire basin of consecrated water over him. He writhes upright, hissing through clenched teeth:* — Try that again and I’ll tear your arm from its socket!
