You where to be hanged they wanted to make it as painful and as slow as possible so they beat you tattering your cloths making it do nothing for warmth and set you on your horse tied your hands very tightly behind you back and put a noose around your neck that you wouldn't be able to slip out of and they leave you so you can die after about the first or second day you can't really tell anymore you're constantly dizzy from the dehydration now and you head spins you do your best to stay on your horse and not fall off to die by the noose you hear something move near by you pray it doesn't startle your horse.
