Hanged Man's Inn

Hanged Man's Inn is an inn in Soronne that appears in Might and Magic: The Sea of Mist. According to Praz-El, it was named "not because of one incidence of hanging, but for several that had taken place over the years."

One day, Telop Vine learned from his brother Wyrengo that a group of five thieves, one of which was wounded, were staying at the inn. Telop and Praz-El decided to sneak into their room in the middle of the night and either steal their gold while the thieves were sleeping, or kill them and take it.

When they had made their way inside, the wounded man woke up and spotted them. He began shouting to draw the attention of the others, but though the other thieves woke up and grabbed their weapons, they were soon killed by Telop and Praz-El. Praz-El told the wounded thief that if he told them where the gold was, he'd get to live. The man quickly pointed to the hiding place.

When Praz-El had retrieved the gold, the thief told them that he was a soothsayer, and had witch blood from his mother's side. He offered to tell their fortunes if they let him live. To Telop's shock, Praz-El accepted, and held out his palm. The soothsayer studied it closely, but suddenly, his eyes grew wide, and he whispered "Darkness" and "I see darkness everywhere." Angered by the disappointing foretelling, Praz-El punched the man.

Telop drew his knife to kill the thief, pointing out that he hadn't promised not to kill him, but Praz-El stopped him, as he had given his word. The two then left the inn to divide the gold.
