Mettaur and Randomdude stood upon the gallows awaiting their grim fate. The town had suffered some, but they felt they finally had a bead on the Badland Gang. The ropes were in place, the executioner's hand was ready, Mettaur had his last words on the tip of his tongue. Well, there was a blur and the gallows, the rope, the condemned, the mayor's pants, and most of the townswomen's clothing was gone.
"Guess stealing the hangees wasn't enough." someone quipped. There was also an incident involving a would-be molester, Rokulily, and a fresh skillet full of cornbread.
