You count about 60 people in the main scuffle who are yelling and pushing, while another couple dozen onlookers stand idle and watch from the sidelines. Relic casts his spell where the shoving and shouting is the loudest and where the people are the most packed in.
His spell takes out over a dozen people, knocking them unconscious and causing further confusion. The crowd all turns towards him as he yells out, "Calm your anger! It was neither the Merchant nor the Artist Guild that murdered Frickard! The murderer was Lord Feador's brother, this great man loved by all murdered by a mean spirited noble over golden goose feathers! If you don't believe me, go and ask Lord Feador! He has admitted it before these representatives of your guild! Ask them yourselves before you spill blood!"
Some listen, though there are many people yelling as the crowd is a bit directionless. One woman yells out, "Brian! He just killed my Brian with his wizardly powers!" Someone in the crowd checks the man's pulse and tries to console her and tell her that her man is simply sleeping. The casting of the spell creates a mixture of emotions, some people angry and threatening, while others fearful.
"I don't care about no Feador! What about my mule and wagon!" One of the drivers yell out.
The party has stopped the crowd from breaking out into violence, though confusion still reigns. The heroes can decide to move on, or stay a moment to help untangle the mule carts while otherwise encouraging the people to move on.
