More in sorrow......
Dusk was falling and though many villagers seemed undecided and some had slunk away, something had to be done to protect the village from the menace that haunted them.
A group of villagers surrounded the village's wealthiest resident. Some were jealous no doubt of his money and saw a chance for revenge, others might have found his strange speech and garb unforgivably odd. Or perhaps they all genuinely believed him to be guilty.
Someone removed the hanging basket from the village Gallows (Midsomer Mawlin had been runner up in "Britain in Bloom"'s tiny and peculiar village category the previous year. Another fetched the noose that had been found around Mithalwen's neck.
"Holy Hangmen - I'm innocent " blustered the caped crusader, but his pleas were in vain - the group was determined enough to overwhelm him yet he struggled manfully agianst them. "Biff!" "Kapow!!!!". But it was not enough. The noose was around his neck. The compact and bijou mob let his body fall. Gil-Galad struggled but at last his body relaxed in death.
The villagers looked in a strange mixture of horror and embarrassment. Gil-Galad might have been eccentric but , holy miscarriages of justices guys, he was no werewolf.
Day one ends with the death of the innocent Gil Galad. Night2 lasts until 8pm tomorrow night unless all necessary information is received before then. Please check the notice board..
