Historical Escapes: Stockholm Bloodbath

Bishop Brask is imprisoned in the town hall on Stortorget. A messenger has informed you that he is in danger of being executed: you must travel to the capital to secure his release. 

By the time you arrive, it's early morning on November 9, 1520. Yesterday, Sweden's newly crowned and bloodthirsty King Christian II had several bishops, nobles and their servants executed for heresy, and a heavy and fateful mood hangs over the still-sleeping city. 

As quietly as you can, you sneak into Stortorget and are greeted by a terrible sight. The realization of the terrible fate that awaits Brask hits you like a bolt from the blue. The task at hand is to quickly find a way to save the bishop from certain death. There is only one hour left before the interrogations and executions start again.
