Hehehe! Jack's going to end up all gold if he's not careful! One part of me hopes he doesn't remember the torture, but another part of me think's he's strong enough in character to deal with it.

Hmmm. Did they really go through all that preparation before an operation back then? It seems awfully like modern practice.

I know that. Moreover, there are recorded cases in which someone was found guilty without confession because "nobody can endure such torture unless the devil helps them". So what point is there in withstanding anyway?
That is why I thought Jack should have confessed and confessed much more than expected: (allegedly) cursed places that the cardinal would want to exorcise. Caches of magical items. Fellow witches. (All made up of course.) And Jack would offer to guide the cardinal there, and he'd try to escape on the way.
I understand your explanation: First he was hoping for rescue, and then he could not think any more. But to me Jack loses much of his charm if he doesn't try to #talk# his way out of trouble.
But it's your story.

I think Jack is quite out of character. Jack rather being tortured to death than saying some easy words without meaning them? He's a trickster character. I would expect him to confess immediately, then telling the cardinal some wild stories about places and persons he cursed and where he must now lead the clerics to, so that everything can be exorcised (and a certain pirate can try to escape on the way). I could imagine him seducing the clerics ("You are an attractive man, cardinal. Like sin itself. If you weren't a cleric I'd try to seduce you. But you know what? A cleric's semen causes a witch like me immesurable pain. So pleeeeeeease, don't touch me!").
I like yours other stories better. Especially the one with Bootstrap Bill's ghost. Jack being tortured and LIKING it, that's the thing.

Oh.. thank you thank you thank you.. You've saved our captain!! You've not dragged on his troture for 10 or 15 insane chapters and I REALLY appreciate that. To many of these stories go on for so long in the torture aspect of things that my stomach is ready to wretch and I can't read any more. You've given us a great and daring rescue, full of pain and heart stopping moments.
Next, can you give us a good few chapters of Jack healing and Will staying by his side, while at the same time he commands the Pearl in getting Jack away from his insane captors. A good battle between the Pearl and that Catholic church ship would be good, WIll at the command. WOO HOO!! I like both Will and Jack fairly equally, but Jack a fair bit more than Will. I so liked that you made Will strong, though. To many fic's make him a sniveling, inept idiot. This was perfect.
Please give us more bright horizons in this story.. I'd like nothing better than WIll to kill that bastard Cardinal who accused Jack of being a witch. First, however, he n to to dispense with the Cardinal's war ship. THEN, maybe Jack is healed enough later to be the one to limp in (i.e. permanently mangled foot) and give an EYE for an EYE to the Cardinal!!! HA! That would be Biblical justice I think. Alright by me. I was nearly crying as I finished reading this. Your stories are truly original and well done.
Brilliant job, mate.
Ta!

Great chapter!! like I've said before this story is brilliant. However I was thinking are you going to write about how Will got onto the black pearl and why he seemed like he taken charge of it (even though I know that it only because Jack not capable right now) and maybe also how was Jack capture in the first place by thardinrdinal guy. Even though I can figure out most of the stuff that happened before hand it would probably clear maybe some things up. Anyway keep up with the great work I look forward to reading more.
