A larger -- and friendlier -- late night crowd than any of the group can recall seeing at the Shark are waiting for them when they return. The group bursts into cheers and then song. For a long time, none of the battered-and-bruised survivors can get a word in edgewise or even discern what's being said to them -- it's simply too loud.Eventually, Hanthan Yan climbs atop his bar and bangs a gaffing hook against a cast iron frying pan."By Rajek, shut your faces already! These raggedy ass wharf rats look like they've been enough without getting your grubby paws all over them! These are what we call heroes, folks. Those dandies in the Delvers Guild don't never come down to the Docks, and Saltbeard's men only realize there's someone killing working girls when they can't find them on payday."The crowd laughs at this, with even the handful of off-duty watchmen joining in."So we had to turn to some of our own, and by the gods, more than a few of them ain't coming home ever again. But Longcoat is dead, and I'm a man of my word. Five hundred gold between you survivors and more besides from the Dockmaster. But that's for tomorrow. Tonight, we drink to these heroes. And none of you filthy bastards better let them pay for their drink tonight, or I'll have you tossed out on your miserable faces!"NOW DRINK!"These are hardened men (and women) unused to kind words or warm feelings. But the survivors of the expedition to kill Longcoat see them at their warmest tonight. More than a few have tears in their eyes and Garnet is positive a rib broke when a huge ancient Nallsman grabbed him in a bear hug that drove all the air from his lungs.</blockquote>
