Forge and company quickly catch up with the guard, who only pause long enough to collect reinforcements and inform the coroner, a tall spindly man who dresses in black trenchcoat and tophat, that another body awaits his examination. So it is that half a dozen men set out to Cockscombe, steel bared and faces grim, the son of Ironsong at the front picking out a path back to the wretched place he'd seen the shape flee to.
The dwarf leads them to the rickety tower and after the captain warns the trio to stand back, the squad of men storm the decrepit building. After a few tense moments and much shouting, the guard emerges from the building, dragging the large limp body that is unmistakably half-orc, bound in chains.
"Caught 'im we did!" the captain cries triumphantly. "Likes t'murder the innocent, huh? Well, hope y'have the stomach for th' axe of justice! The mighty murderer, laid low!"
Even in the most squalid neighbourhood, people flocked to hear good news. Forge and Froud could spy many thin, dirty faces peering from the broken windows of their rundown huts. The faces wore expressions that were a mix of relief, happiness, shock and somewhat strangely - outrage?
There was no time to really register it, as the captain had clasped thick hands on the shoulder of both Forge and Froud. "Good work," he said approvingly. "Excellent work. For now, your ordeal is over and th' reign of terror this miscreant visited on this city is well and over. May need t' call y' down to the Halls durin' the trial, but that's unlikely. Right now, you three should just get home. In fact," he decides, motioning to two of his men, "you all deserve an escort. Hawes, Belden, see these three to their doors!"
"Sir!" the guardsmen replied affirmatively, saluting to the captain.

I'm thinking of multiclassing Forge into Fighter.
A Dwarven Ftr/Mu will be interesting.
