Combat Encounters

Opponent Encounter Text Notes
Dockside Ganger You notice a man nearby with the traditional tattoo of the Fangs. Unfortunately, he notices you too and doesn't take kindly to your attention. (only if you have not finished the Docks quest?)
Dock Security A security guard approaches you, baton in hand. "'Scuse me. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Despite that, he never actually asks you to leave. He seems more interested in cracking skulls.		 Becomes less frequent if you help the guards in the Problems on the Docks quest and accept the guard's reward?
Third Eye Ganger As you weave your way through the crates you hear a man growl, "Third Eye turf now, see you don't come here again."

He seems very intent on making sure you can't come here again.		 Only when you have completed the Problems on the Docks quest but not joined the Third Eye?
Ghoul Wandering between the piles of crates and shipping containers, you see a blur of movement out of the corner of your eye. Then, with a shriek, a twisted humanoid drops down on you from above! Only if you haven't finished the Problems on the Docks quest (and only after the Docks quest?)
Lake Serpent Off the docks, the water ripples, then a vast shape looms up. A massive serpent lunges at you, spraying water over the pier. Replaces dock security encounter when etheric

Vigilante Justice Combat Encounters

Opponent Encounter Text Notes
4 Dock Security Wandering around, looking for villains and oppressors to fight, you come across a good selection. Four dock security guards stand in a circle, beating a defenseless dockhand with their batons. You can hear his ribs cracking as you charge in. gain Hot Coin; If you are able to heal their victim (with any First Aid at all, even effects confirmed. Kinak is currently thinking of a way to fix this, so you can't heal people by bleeding on them) you will get this text:

You patch up the dock hand after the fight, preventing him from bleeding out on the docks. When he eventually awakens he clasps you by the shoulder. "You, you really saved my bacon there. Here… take this. It's all I got to thank you with. <My old lucky hat. Did me pretty well until today/My old lucky hat. Or so I thought/A flask of my mammy's special brew>."

He forces the <hat/flask> into your hands, smiling widely. (Get lucky cap, unlucky cap, or special brew)
3 Gang Enforcers Three gangers have surrounded a dockhand, two holding him while the third threatens him with a massive hunting knife. When you speak up, the two gangers holding his arms let go and draw clunky pistols.

The dockhand stutters something that was probably "thank you" as he runs off.		 Gain massive hunting knife in addition to the usual drops
