The villagers were split on who to kill, but those for Morm got the upper hand, and finally the elven idleman threw his hands in the air and with an exclamation, “GAK! It seems that nothing I do can be viewed in its true light.”

He submitted to his death sentence with a few last words, and then it was time for the villagers to decide the method of his fate.

“He didn’t really have a true occupation, just idled about,” opinionated Kath.

“Good point,” agreed Nogrod.

“Let’s work him to death!” decided Saucepan Orc.

And so they put the idleman in chains and set him to various odious and difficult tasks, all the while lashing him with whips. He submitted to his trials with grim and silent determination. First he mowed Kath’s lawn, which took a very long time since Kath’s lawn was the size of a football field. Then he underwent a rigorous workout under Nogrod’s supervision -- the Dwarven Personal Fitness Instructor smoked a ciggie and lashed Morm languidly as the elf did push-ups military style. Then they took him out to Saucepan Orc’s field and tied him to a pole under the hot midday sun. After all the crows in the vicinity got as far away as they could from the bizarre proceedings, the villagers took Morm down and forced him make bricks without straw. Since they did not allow him water or rest this entire time, he eventually expired from dehydration and exhaustion.

He bore it all with a solemn nobility true to his elven lineage and said a prayer to Mandos before he expired.
