Would you rather die by Brute, Grunt, Suitor, Kaernk, or Shadow?

[Zaari]

the worst part about those torture devices is that ALL of them really existed and were used

Also here's something horrible to add on to that fact, the inventor of the brazen bull was actually put to death in one. Imagine how horrible it would feel, besides the fact that you are being burned to death, that you're being killed by your own creation.

I would not want to die by any of them to be honest.

If I had a choice... I would want to get killed by the shadow. It's quick, simple, no effort. Just blink and your in another place.

Iron maidens were pieced together from other artifacts in museums. I guess Alexander got a little creative.

Whether they existed back then or not, they were used regardless..

How could they be used if they didn't exist. What.

He was pulled out before he died. After that they threw him from the top of a hill. He was lucky.

They may have not been used in the Medieval ages but they have been used in history.

Oh, okay. That's still pretty horrible though.

Ouch.

[Hunter of Shadows]

How about none of them, all of them are TERRIBLE WAYS TO DIE

And to everyone saying the Shadow would be painless and instant?

Remember that diary entry from the Machine Works? Haunted 3/3?

17th July 1839
How has this escaped me? They're all dead. Limbs scattered, heads split down the middle, their skin flayed as if boiled. I feel like I'm falling into myself. What's happening? Sir William Smith, professor Taylor and now doctor Tate. Is it following me? How can it not be? It's the damned thing I brought from Africa. Something is after me.
I have no choice but to trust the baron. He better know what he claims. If he is wrong, I suspect he'll regret it as well.

Yea, might want to re-evaluate that

And as for the brute killing you fast? It would have to hit you in certain parts of your anatomy, let's be realistic and not base this off of gameplay, it's a big 3-4 foot long blade, wielded by something with superhuman strength, but unless it strikes you in the heart, or cuts your head off...

It's not going to be quick, or even remotely painless, if that thing hits you say...in an area that ruptures a lung? That hurts like hell from what I understand, and if the gatherer's are as...mindless as they're made out to be, if the brute knows it's hit a vital spot, it may not bother to put you out of your misery

Food for thought

[Zaffre]

Grunt, because as soon as he comes in the room I could put a box in front of my head and survive.

On Topic: Probably the Brute. If he hit me in a vital spot (i.e. the head) then I wouldn't feel anything.
