Talia Harber seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Gowen Loudlegs thinks the man is innocent.

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.
