The downed fish-man has four vials on him, three empty, one full of a white translucent liquid. Closer inspection reveals that whatever is inside of it seems to be moving around. He also had a shark-tooth dagger of some sort and a climber's kit. From what you can tell he's a human male who has been transformed by something to have gills, fins, scales, and clearly smelly yellow bile and blood. The nature of it looks like it wasn't some quick change, and it isn't reversing upon death. It already seems to be decaying... quickly.
The half-orc can be found, tall and in his trunks. He looks at Bella with bloodshot eyes. "Bella, what's going on? Four of my players are sick. I did not feel well myself..."
The crowds thin and a few guards approach, as well as healers of a few sorts.
[sblock=Gul]The fluid in the vial is likely a parasite of some sort, created or enhanced via some arcane means. It was likely added to the pool at some point, allowing it to spread and dilute. Perhaps it was also used in other water supplies to cause illnesses elsewhere. That there was one vial left implies there might have been another target. You do not see anyone else in the crowd immediately suspicious.[/sblock]
The town watch begins to show up and starts asking questions. They don't seem overly suspicious at the moment.
