Ladonna notes that the bucket of water is still sitting precariously on the rim of the well.
The watchmen look confused at the party's claim. "Don't be ridiculous, of course I'm Walls," the shapeshifter says. "Marcus, Lenk, you two know me. These folk have just had too much to drink tonight, I think, and are getting rowdy."
"Alright, get off her," Marcus says, grabbing at Lillian and the others to pry them off, with Lenk and a few others joining in.
Once "Walls" is back on her feet, she dusts herself off and says, "Take them to jail to sleep it off. We can let them go in the morning, after they've come to their senses."

Ladonna moves as quickly as she can to get the bucket of water before it falls into the well. She quickly then dumps the water in the bucket on the ground. At least this way the disease doesn't get into the water supply. "You guys are making a mistake. That isn't Walls."

"I know what I saw" Katya tells the watch "and you know who we are." She includes herself, Lillian, Ladonna, Ingot and Garnet in that - the people who saved Buho most recently.
"I swear I'm as sober as a judge. There is sorcery afoot, and nothing good will come of letting whatever that thing is go" she inclines her head towards the Walls-thing. "Lock us all up 'till morning if need be, but that is dangerous."

“I’ve had quite a bit of experience with magical creatures, and that most certainly is a shapeshifter if some sort,” Lillian declares resolutely. “Also, I don’t even drink.”

"What's all this ruckus about?" asks a second Ser Walls, walking onto the scene. She stops upon seeing the first Ser Walls, and the two stare at each other incredulously. The watch, puzzled, look back and forth between the two, unable to understanding what is happening right now.

Ladonna smirks a bit as she looks between the doppelganger and Ser Walls. "We told you," she says.

Katya takes the opportunity to throw a punch, as hard as she can, at the doppleganger.

The other Derica stumbles back from the punch, landing right on her bottom, before transforming back to its default form in. Stunned and in shock, it offers no resistance when the real Derica calls for its arrest. "Impersonating a reeve is not a crime taken lightly," she says.
"You won't get away with this!" Ghalt cries. "In Crizza's name, all things are possible! I'll bring freedom to you all, whether you want it or not!"
"Let's add blasphemy to that," Derica says. "Take it away," she tells the guards. They slap the doppelganger in chains and drag it away, as it yells curses in the Mad God's name.
"Are the rest of you alright?" Derica asks, looking to the party.

"I'm fine," Lillian says. "None of us were harmed, except Ladonna, of course."

Katya logs what the dopple-ganger said away, for now.
For now she rounds on the members of the watch unlucky enough to be close.
"You thought I was drunk?" she demands of them. "That I was drunk enough to throw unfounded accusations at Ser Walls? The lot of you should thank Gonto herself that the real Ser Walls showed up, or you would have let that loose in town." She gestures at Ghalt's figure as he is being dragged away.

"I...I am not fine," Ladonna admits. She leans against the well. "I don't think the water is contaminated, but it might be. That thing was trying to put something in the water."

"That's enough," Derica says at Katya's chiding. "They were doing their duty, nothing less. Nobody can be expected to anticipate something like this happening. That said, how did you all discover it? How do you know it was trying to poison the well?"

“Ladonna and I were heading over to get some water and we saw him acting rather suspiciously while disguised as a farmer. Ladonna struck up a conversation with him, while I went behind him and saw he was hiding a knife. She looked into the bucket, he stabbed her, I tackled him, and the rest unfolded.”

Derica nods to Lillian. "What exactly was he doing that was suspicious?" she asks. "And what farmer did he look like?"
"In any case, hopefully we can learn what he was up to when we interrogate him," she adds. "If he's working alone or with others, and what exactly his plans were. He was calling out for the Mad God, which means we shouldn't take any chances." She shakes her head. "After all that trouble we had with goblins, we finally make peace with them, and now we might have crazy fey cultists on our hands. Hopefully this is an isolated event."

"The way that he was hovering over the well, and I could have swore I saw him try to put something into the bucket," Ladonna says. "But he was disguised as Uchdryd Gibney."
