It just occurred to me that even though the transition definitely wasn't normal we can still say we knows bits and pieces say maybe that Max, and Gorgash fled after a brief scuffle between Gorgash and Hammerhand, Max flees when the androgynous person appeared, and the innkeeper is still pissed though they all paid generously more drinks than a peasant could afford so they didn't say anything.

There could be some damaged tables here and there, chairs this way and that. Just a little idea mind.
