Good Noose, Everyone!

Choice adventure number: 736

Gallows

The gallows (built, according to the plaque on the crossbeam, by villagers named Ernest and Julio) tower above the village square, a testament to the dangers associated with breaking the law among primitives.

For some reason, there's a can of pink paint sitting on the edge of the platform.

With a clanmate standing on the trapdoor:

Your clanmate <clanmate> is standing on the trapdoor beneath the noose.

With the lever having been pulled this instance:

The trapdoor beneath the noose is hanging open.

Paint the noose pink

You use the entire can of paint to make the noose as pink as it is possible for a noose to be. There. That's way less grim.

(No more Spooky monsters will appear in the village)
