The blood continues to drain out of the man towards the door.  Soon the pool spreads out as a warm viscous layer of crimson.  A mine worker and his mates fresh from their pay day enter the pub.  Taking in the man slumped over on the ground and the blood they stop for a moment before laughing viciously.

"What'd the stranger do this time lass, try to cop a feel without paying?  Tell you what, give me and the boys here something to forget what we've seen and we'll pretend to have never noticed him.  But don't bother with coin, you know what we want."

It would appear that violence is par for the course at the Wink.  The burly miners eye the barmaid expectantly.  Clearly they've been in this situation before, and know exactly what they're going to get.
