Accusations fly in the town meeting, but it is not long before most of the fingers are pointed at Jorbles.
"He has a funny smell about him!"
"His teeth are unusually white!"
"He's a great listener!"
"He sneezed at me this one time!"
Surely one of those things is a good reason to end a life.
The town ties up the protesting fellow. It's close, they can feel it -- just one more vote would be the proverbial nail in the coffin.
Then the meeting room darkens. The air grows heavy, grows red. A dull echo fills the space with aching. The crimson smoke resolves itself into a ghostly figure... Morgrim?!
The town recoils in horror. Had he come back from the dead to seize vengeance? The figure raises an ethereal hand high into the air. It towers above the paralyzed crowd, reaching through the roof into the very heavens.
And then the hand descends. Swiftly. And in that rush, vapor rushes into Morgrim's curled fingers of smoke. The vapor takes the form of... a hammer.
Jorbles has been lynched!
Morgrim's laughter rings through the stunned silence, but it is no longer a supernatural hum in the air. The haze settles -- Morgrim is standing where Jorbles had been, now as corporeal as any regular schmuck. And he looks somewhat more jorblish than before.
Morgrim has risen!
There is an awkward silence as Morgrim's laughter becomes a chuckle, then nothing at all. Morgrim sighs. "I'm gonna go home, eat a gallon of ice cream and have a nice hot bubble bath. Maybe that'll cheer me up..."
Nobody tries to stop Morgrim. After he has gone, the villagers quickly decide to adjourn for the day. They all literally run home.
But what of Jorbles?
He stands up and coughs. "Ugh, I need a beer."
Jorbles dusts himself off and goes home.
The lynch is unsuccessful.
