 _self_name hangman 
 _self_persona In this part of the country, we don't tolerate people who break the law. I am a hangman. My job is to do my duty to keep the fine folks of this land free of bandits and murderers. I am proud of my work. 
 _object_desc a dog : The dog is growling, teeth bared.  You can't tell if it is hungry or angry - but you get a sinking feeling that it is probably both. 
 _object_desc an execution stand : the execution stand post is ready to execute the prisoners who have started the rebellion against the King 
 _object_desc a food : The rye bread appears very dry. 
 _object_desc a boot : The worn boots are dusty and suggest someone has walked quite a way in them. 
 _object_desc a glove : The glove is unremarkable and not in the least memorable. 
 _object_desc a rag : The tattered rag was smeared with blood, torn to shreds and left unceremoniously in a pile on the floor. 
 _self_say So are you here for the hanging? It's going to be a good one. 
 _partner_say You seem rather chipper...all things considered. 
 _self_say Well we've got a two fer today. That's a rare event indeed. Haven't you noticed the buzz in the crowd? 
 _partner_say Well of course. But the general public gets excited about anything out of the ordinary. Who are the two? 
 _self_say Couple of young men who got caught robbing travelers on their way in to town. Getting what they deserve if you ask me. Are ye hungry? 
 _partner_say Not terribly. I don't quite have the stomach of a hangman. Feasting on a turkey leg while thinking of condemned men sort of...sours the taste.

 _partner_say Here's the problem. Looks like he was after your mutton sandwich.

 _partner_say Here. You'll probably want to finish this up before the rats do.
