The Groovy Ghoulies, Quaid's Corbie, Kast, Nyx, Arine & Sachiko.

Quaid looks at Nyx for a long time, the tension hangs in the air, then he 
sneers a smile and his raised fist clenches. The Redcap's at his side relax 
and all three of them begin to back away, shoulders relaxing.

"I look forward to next time boy!" he says to Kasterborous. "And dancing 
with your Satyr again!"

With that they turn and begin to jog away towards the bridge. Those 
following them get to see Quaid pull out a mobile phone just before they 
disappear from sight behind a trailer home.
