"I suggest a compromise! Why not have a mallet break each of its hands and feet, and a person shall hold onto each of those broken appendages to keep it paralyzed in pain while the ritual commences."Now then, to prepare the guy a little bit.Once the marmot's hands and feet have been appropriately broken - not smushed entirely, that'd make it too hard to hold on - or if it holds still while we wait for someone to go get a mallet or whatever to do that, take my three dead rats and tie them around its neck by their tails. Try to tie their tails together, in a sense. The crushed ones by its shoulders and the strangled one on its chest.
Then once all those preparations have been made ... begin the sacrifice.I stand exultant at the head of the stone, knife in hand, looking down at the marmot below me squirming in pain with an ecstatic grin on my face. The excitement from everyone else is really getting to me.
"People! I know not your names! I know not your ages! I know not your occupations, likes, fears or loves! Nor in this moment do they have any bearing! For today, right now, you are not mere people, no. Today you are avengers! This marmot's kind" - I pause as someone likely corrects me by informing me it's a stoat - "Eh close enough. This stoat's kind besiege your home, your castle, Anglefork! They've risen up from their foul ghetto and eaten so many people you knew, and perhaps even loved! It's time now to take a little time to visit that tragedy back upon their kin! Today we harden our hearts to the sight of blood and gore, for it will be the milk and honey of the times to come! Today shall be but a new beginning! A beginning where we, the people of Anglefork, rise up and eradicate the stoat, which had brought such tragedy and sorrow upon us! This sacrifice before me shall be but a taste of the times to come!
Now, let there be BLOOD!"
I'm appropriately passionate during my speech, trying to whip the participants into a frenzy, and maybe attract some other people with the noise, who knows.
Then I get to work.
Make long shallow cuts along the stoat's biceps and calves. Let the blood pool for a few seconds, then slash it across the eyes. Make a shallow cut from the middle of its forehead down the bridge of its nose. Mutilate whatever genitals it possesses, then stab it low on its abdomen and cut open, then put the live rat inside its body cavity. Then go and carefully cut through its cheeks, trying to cut them out entirely. Pull out its intestines and wrap them around its throat, then take some other organ from around that area (leave the heart, that's for last) and put it inside the ruins of its mouth.
Then basically systematically mutilate and stab the poor stoat to death, doing my best to keep it alive as long as possible while doing so - not going after super vital organs immediately, etc. Make sure to hack apart every organ I can directly upon its chest so it's stained with (more) of its own blood. When I'm done with every other organ, rip its heart out and stab through it in the most dramatic fashion I can.
Then basically go nuts on the body, try to hack/stab/slash it into as many separate parts as is physically possible. Make the whole procedure really dramatic. Hopefully I should look like I walked into a blood and guts storm by the end of it.
Make sure to include the other people if I need to, such as getting the ribcage open. Maybe use that mallet to break it, etc.
Put any shinies I might find inside its body aside for later, if there are any.
