The day passed in heated debates and accusations were flying around like lime-coloured rectangular flying saucers. In the end, the miners found it really difficult to choose whether to lynch Brinniel or Sally. They obviously couldn't settle the matter by voting as there were precisely as many for lynching Brinn and for lynching Sally. ”What shall we do?” Gil-Galad voiced the popular thought.

”I know!” Mith said, ”Let's toss a coin!”
”A coin?” Nerwen asked sceptically.
”But of course! Not a real coin, but we make a coin of them!” Kath said, ”Brinniel, which one you'd prefer to be, heads or tails?”
”Heads...”, she said, wondering what kind of trap she was walking into.
”I'll have tails then”, Sally said.

So the miners took a rope and tied Brinn and Sally back against back.
”Now, we should just somehow toss them and see which one lands on the top”, Nogrod observed.
”Let's take them to that high rock over there and throw upwards”, Shasta suggested.
No one except Sally and Brinn disagreed so they brought the two young ladies to the rock.

”One”, said Naria,
”Two”, said Mith,
”THREE!” said Kath and the miners thusted Brinniel and Sally in the air. The young women screamed while the other miners applauded wildly.

THUMP. Brinniel and Sally hit the ground. Sadly for Sally, Brinniel landed on the top. Even though Brinniel was not heavy, her weight, the considerable height and the speed had performed their task. Sally was no longer among the living.
Laying in a pool of blood and broken bones, Brinniel passed out.

”Now I wonder what we have done by this”, Legate muttered.
