Pepper's Dockside Rescue Spoils

The dockside ambush leaves behind a messy trail of brine, smashed crates, and boot prints in wet silt. The thug was carrying the stolen valuables and a few practical tools for future crimes, while the water mephits left behind odd, useful residue from the slick chaos they caused. The haul is modest but fitting for a level 3 party, with enough coin and salvage to feel like a meaningful reward after rescuing Pepper from the snatch attempt.
