The villagers stream from their houses, one half walking towards the shore to where MadCrawDad sat watching the stars, the other half dragging Grins kicking and screaming back from the Hamptons with BonBon leftovers sitting on her chin.....
MadCrawDad was strung up next to the right side of the village church door and Grins to the left.. Wood stacked under their feet.. Burn the pirates.. Burn the Pirates.. Burn the Pirates the crowd chanted..
One from each side lit the tinder set at the heart of the promised death pile.. A neighboring village minister sat between, lifting his arms to the heavens and said.. May the evil one be shown us by the almighty....
Just as the minister finishes his sentance a bolt of lightning streaks forth from the heavens turning a woodpile into a conflagoration of hellish proportions.. The flames lept so high that they blinded the villagers who were gathered around..
When the dazzling light subsided they saw.........
MadCrawDad - the 2nd Captain in a pile of ashes on the ground...
The Pirates knowing they were beaten decide to get in one last dig against the townies before they to were burned for their crimes and hunt out one whom they thought be either the Governor or the Magistrate of this small village..
They not so quietly make a break and grap Jpap and throw him into the remaining conflagoration..
