Temple 3

Chapter 3
We start with Cara giving Kahlan a convoluted demonstration of her Dominatrix powers, which involves more pain, bloodshed, and degradation for Captain Picard. I'm not sporking it. You're welcome. I am, however, reinstating the one-drink-per-page-of-torture rule, so, \~/\~/\~/.
We do learn that Cara can effectively set contingencies on her torture-powers, such as ordering her victim to take a specific action or avoid a specific action, and her powers activate if he violates her directives. I am supremely uninterested in the details of Goodkind's torture-based magic system, though.
Kahlan and Cara decide to imprison Captain Picard in “the pit,” which proves to be the Rape Pit of Rapiness from a few books ago, now empty of rapists. As he is interred there, we learn that he is from the Big Stone Witch House, is 93 years of age, and enjoys long walks on the beach and sappy romantic poetry. He also reveals that he came to Aydindril with someone else, a young Bad Nun with long brown hair. Cara and Kahlan decide this must be Nadine, and the chapter ends.
That was short.
