The villager's gathered once more, ready to be rid of one of their own. The villagers cast their votes. Sleepy was the one chosen to be lynched that Day.

Sleepy Ranger looked at all who stood before him. He was smiling despite being the one who would face death. It did not bother him, he had lived through a lot and death... it was strangely welcome. He felt no fear, no resentment.

In the short time spent amongst these people he had come to learn the value and meaning of friendship. He found peace in the fact that he was sacrificing himself for these new found friends. He felt no biterness towards them after all he too had turned his back on many people for his survival.

"Ere you lay me to rest I have something to say." He paused and looked at them with a warm smile. "Thank you! Thank you all for teaching me something I should have learnt a long time ago. It is fine though, I shall die in peace now. I wish you luck in your hunt for the final terror. May you find them and be merciless in laying justice upon them. I wish you luck. Mayhap this dead man's prayer will give you the strength you need."

The villagers gathered around him, wondering how they should kill this warrior.

"Well, we can't chop his head off. We - I mean I - did that to Naria already," Macalaure stated.

"Well, we can hang him the old fashioned way," Norgrod suggested.

"You mean by building an actual gallows?" Lommy questioned.

"Yeah, why not!" Kath said excitedly.

A few hours later, the villagers had erected a very unsteady gallow. "Hmm, not the best carpentry, but it'll do," Nogrod said completely satisfied. The villagers grabbed Sleepy and put his head through the noose. Lommy grabbed the lever and pulled. The trapdoor opened and Sleepy fell. But nothing happened.

"Okay, that didn't work out as we planned," Macalaure said bluntly. Just then, a loud crack rent the air and the whole structure fell on top of Sleepy. The villagers walked away in despair, hoping for a brighter morning.
