Confess all, confess all so that God will lessen the pain of the whip.", "Accused of what exactly? I never went into the forbidden forest?", "You have stolen from the fruit of the forbidden tree. You must confess.", "But as I just said I did not enter, I simply thought of doing so as many of the villagers have!", "Theft is a sin, a sin I tell you. You must confess YOUR sins!!!", "While I may understand that, as I have told you I did not do it! What proof do you have?", "You must be possessed of some demon, a victim of the dark arts.... I must perform an exorcism to clear your mind. My crucifix, someone bring me my crucifix!!!", "Ahh this blame without any evidence and you call yourself a man of god?", "Demon, Devil Beelzebub, Lucifer, you have no power over this poor villager, be gone, be gone, I command you in the name of god..Ominus Omnipotus, Vanqiquis...be gone that he may confess his sins before God and Man." ]
