Empty promises of eternal sexual favors are made from some, alongside with pleas for a quick death from others. A trader would do best to ignore all this if he doesn't want to incur the anger of the guards that ensure the sentence is carried through.
The punishment is deceptively simple. The condemned is anally impaled in a blunt stakes while the lower wooden rest is adjusted so the stake enters the body very little when legs are fully extended, then the feet are nailed to the wooden piece on the bottom of the stake. In time, the legs start to give way, beginning a slow self-impalation, interrupted by sudden push upwards when some stamina is regained. This up and down can take up to two days for really strong women. The weaker ones die before sundown.
A common bet among the guards is who's going to the Gods first. They are measuring with expert eyes every newcomer to the Alley and heated bets follows. Someone will win big, it could be you!
