This is a form of torture used first by Persians in 401BC.
The word scaphism comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning scooped or hollowed.
The naked person was firmly fastened within a back-to-back pair of narrow rowing boats (or a hollowed-out tree trunk), with the head, hands, and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body in order to attract insects to the exposed appendages.

He or she would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual’s feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within his or her exposed and increasingly gangrenous flesh. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that dehydration or starvation did not provide him or her with the release of death. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock. Delirium would typically set in after a few days. Death by scaphism was painful, humiliating, and protracted. 

[1/2]I figured, but then I’ll just have to find out~! Assuming the person is actually asleep and not unconscious due to pain, they might wake up fairly easily though, it’d have to be initiated. I suppose one could very well start with a sleeping person and see the influence it has on when they awaken. However, the sleep could also merely be used as a time to let certain effects take place on the subject without having to care for them.

laura-of-rangsdorf asked you:

[2/2]More of a state of preperation if you will, for matters such as poison, experimenting with different levels of bodily elements or causing damage to the nervous system in different ways. In any case, I’ll be bold and take credit for inspiring you.

I had truthfully considered messing with a sleeping being before but then dismissed it for I had equated it to a temporary death and I do not like playing with dead toys and I can sometimes lose mine patience in things so I did not really see any potential in the venue. Now I am simply reminded of it again and an reconsidering my earlier dismissal.

I am starting to think of possible things one can do to a sleeping being… I was thinking simple… set them up in an unfamiliar space… one that looks unsafe, perhaps they find themselves in a contraption that is potentially deadly… or they find themselves hanging from somewhere, a tall building mayhaps, by a rope… or allow them to find themselves changed, marked with wounds or something upon waking. The pain would flood them once the sleepiness left…Mayhaps they find themselves sleeping on a grill being cooked, or boiling in water… I learned once ye can sit in water that slowly and steadily increases in heat and not feel alarmed… mayhaps I could place a victim in a body of water where I then slowly raise the temperature of to boil their body… then they shall wake up to find themselves boiling…

Yes, I suspect something to induce their sleep would be needed… Hmm… I could make a potion that forces one into sleep… Oooh… I can imagine the possibilities now…

Trapping mine victim in a frightful dream. They would not be able to wake from it. That would be better than they being able to run away… Yes… I could give mine victim some potion that forces them to stay sleeping then enter their mind and cast a dream illusion of something they fear. Mayhaps force them to relive a memory but twist it in a horrific way, a worse way. Mayhaps create a new situation, a potential future, a torture scene. Something that shall scare them in the dream that they cannot wake from. As they would be unable to wake from it, I could take it as far as I wish… and when they finally do wake… they could have troubles sleeping in the future. Ehehehehe… curious… I think I like this torture…

Ye cannot escape mine tortures even with thy eyelids closed? Ehe… ehehehe… ehehehehehehe.
