As Phelbt glances down towards the dead dockworker, he sees that the city guards have removed his boots, taken his purse and are in the process of dragging him to the side of the wharf -- clearly intending to throw him into the river. The guards have already thrown a blanket or two over the horrific mass on the dock, and there's little question that their next move will be to dump it over the side as well. In fact, Banio and the others see a raftsman approaching. He'll be paid to pole the body and the blob out into the middle of the Vessen, where the swifter current will hopefully carry them downstream, to the ocean.
Opening the beautifully embroidered bag he wears like a sash across his shoulder and chest, the Hissainian retrieves a single coin and waits until his oarsman move him close enough to flick the shining object towards Banio, who catches it. It's a coin unlike any the man has ever seen, with two metals fused together. Silver and hexagonal in shape, the center of the thing is gold, and there's where it bears a royal crest and writing the man cannot read.
"For the berth," the Sultana's spokesman says, squinting one eye towards the mess on the wharf. "But we will not pay for you to scrub the blood and viscera from your rotten wood! That was not our doing!"

OOC:
That coin looks to be worth 1/2 a gold coin -- so about 5 silvers! If you want to push for the maintenance fee, you can -- state how, and make a Bargain roll, please, trying to hit 20. If you fail, there might be some repercussions.
