Before I could try bend will again, that blade-for-hire dude in the corner stands up, goes berserk and single handedly subdues a newly arrived Captain Veleth and kills Mogrul, then goes downstairs for a drink all the while Slitter and Veleth search for their contact lenses on the ground and me standing dumbfounded figuring out what just happened.
I step outside of the Netch to pay the guard my 40g bounty, Slitter chases me and starts whacking away at the guards. When I got out of the jail Slitter is crouching among ash yams and being a pin cushion to the guard archers.
Thought it's hilarious how sometimes things just work out on their own !
