Eddy lets the thugs go when Borkel lets go of the Fop.
He then follows the conversation between the dwarf and the woman like a tennis match, giving a little shrug and nod of "yeah, probably" when Tumna says, "there's absolutely nothing meaningful short of killing the bastich that we can do."
Finally, he turns to Borkel and says, "What mean you: gather the proofs? We have left the body of the creature in his warehouse, but I'm not sure that the body will prove that he was using the creature to attack any innocent citizens. I'm not sure whether local law holds that a citizen may have a creature to guard their own goods, but I would guess that he cannot be punished for that, even if he did know the thing was there. And we would be hard pressed to prove that a body possessing of theives' tools found in someone else's warehouse was an "innocent." I would love to find some way to injure Gogsmol or his purse, but I'm not sure we're going to be able to do much more than take what we have, sell it all and split the funds. Further justice may have to wait, unless you are willing to settle on awaiting him in his home and beating him senseless upon his arrival, but I sense that's not the kind of justice you seek."
Eddy rubs his moustache then adds, "I would dare say that this adventure may be over after we cash in our loot. Not that we should part ways, but that we should probably rest and let Gogsmol go about his affairs for now. We can keep an eye on him and if, as Borkel believes, he is responsible for evil deeds beyond being Orc-dung, then he will eventually make us aware, and we can then strike from a better position."

I just meant whatever pouch/bag happened to be on the thug or Fop's belt. Just flair-dialogue--sorry it was confusing! I, too, will be keeping odd hours for the next week and a half.
