Once back in one of the city morgues, for examination, the body of the merfolk male stabbed to death with a squeaky yellow rubber duck in the fight wth a Black Pearl torpedo is speedily identified as that of Blurghoot.
An urgent message is sent to the palace alerting them as to this fact and that raise dead/speak with the dead magic seems to be failing with regard to him.
Meanwhile the corpses of two of his companions show up on the city streets in various pieces, showing calling cards of the Black Pearls.
