He seemed a bit vulgar and was working as a farmhand. He had been stricken with the illness of the smallpox like some of your inhabitants because of the magical anomaly. He knew some things about ropes and was enthousiastic about hanging someone. You offered him a permanent position if he converted to Christianity but he refused. So you had your hangman, for a day at least. Even if he was not enthusiastic to convert today you thought that maybe it would be better to let him kill people as a pagan and then make him convert and confess his sins.
The hanging was in the middle of the afternoon. You were installed on a chair on the main square of Local and twenty guardsmen assured order before many hundreds of onlookers. It was rare to see death penalty in action, said Oldfossil, and it was even rarer to see an adventurer hanged. You tried to listen to the crowd and most of them said.
"What has he done ?" "He has insulted our village, he deserves death !" "Damn those adventurers, they steal all the glory while we plow the fields" "I could have been an adventurer too but I took a goblin arrow in the knee" etc... Before the criminal came you heard Captain Crumbling declare.
-Good people of Local, today a vile man, a man who has been found guilty of theft, lack of respect towards a nobleman, and conspiracy to murder our lord will be judged. He insulted not only our lord but our village too, may his death serve a reminder to those who provoke us and break the law for a living.
Hob the thief, who was carried by two strong guards, tried to flee but with his injured leg prevented him from doing anything. Soon he would be hanged like a common thief on the gallows. He was gaged and could not talk and his hands were bound. When the two guardsmen removed his gag and Father François asked him to confess he spat on him and answered with profanities and threats. He screamed.
-The guild will come you imbred bastards and dey will show ya ! You will be fucked, I still have a fate point left and...
You ordered to gag him again, not interested in his madness, and soon after Willdoit put the rope around his neck. Next he pulled a lever, there was a drop and the people gasped and the man broke his neck while dropping. It was quick and clean. You needed to go back to the castle before doing some last instructions.
