A lot of these mass lynching limiter ideas are rather arbitrary. So how about this?

The King considers multiple lynching to be tantamount to mob rule. So if mass lynching occurs, the King's Bailliff (moderator) comes to town the next day and hauls off one of the mass lynch voters to the King's Dungeon (picked at random by the moderator) for the remainder of the "game". It's the same as dying; the randomly picked individual is done.

Or on the same principle, the Bailliff orders a vote amongst those who voted for one of those lynched in the multiple lynching; whoever gets the most votes is guilty of instigating it (about as arbitrary as other aspects of Medieval law), and is dragged off to the King's Dungeon.

Every time a multiple lynching occurs, the King's Bailliff shows up on the following day.
