Challenge #04717-L333: Sweet Justice

One of the waitstaff, technically they were still just a trainee at the Drunken Horns, when the adventurers returned a few nights later to, once again, enjoy a party, yes they DID make reservations first, asked softly. "So.. what happened to the watchmen bullies?"

Mudita, as a young adoptee of the Drunken Horn, had been on cart service when the corrupt Watch squad came in. Watching a bunch of evil-minded goons get comeuppance was a rare treat for any Hellkin. They were all still talking about it weeks later, when the Viceroy - formerly known as Adventurer Tony - returned to spend more gold on a celebratory feast.

Mudita's job was still to roam the tables with the cart, offering to take dirty plates, replace or supply cutlery, or offer fresh rolls. She should not have been over at Adventurer Tony's favourite table before they were all seated or had made their order, but she couldn't help but make an excuse to wend her way over there anyway.

She didn't even bother with her usual script for verisimilitude. Just launched straight into, "What happened to the bully squad, sir?"
