Berserker Bill returns to the docks with the newest member of the party, Gruammsh Skullcleaver. Looking down the shore a ways, they see the rest of the party gathered around a tree and what seems to be a pile of dead bodies. The two burly warriors start make their way through the tangle of nets, ropes, and crates that line the docks.
Suddenly, a small-to-medium-sized clamor arises from behind them. A small-to-medium-sized crowd of people are hurrying out of the Water Weasel (hence the accompanying clamor), some of them brandishing weapons, others running and yelling, others pushing still others out of the way. Something's excited them, that's for sure, and they're headed in the same direction as our two burly warriors. As the crowd surges closer and closer, Bill and Gruammsh overhear various words and phrases being bandied about: Words like "Kill", "Reward", and (strangely) "Gumbo"; and phrases such as "Hundred gold a head", "Dibs on the wench", and "There they are, gathered around that tree and what seems to be a pile of dead bodies".
Our two burly warriors look at the crowd, then look at each other, then look at their companions, then back at the crowd, then finally back at each other again. They figure it'll take about a minute for the crowd to reach them, maybe two to reach the rest of the party.
