You return to the main deck just in time to be witness to a gruesome display.
A man with dirty blond hair and a severely beaten face has been tied to a length of rope. Just as you step out you see how he is kicked off the front and vanishes under the keel.
Mr. Plugg is the one holding the rope. More than a minute goes by before the blond man is pulled up again.
You notice the relish on Mr. Plugg's face during the punishment.

It's immediately clear that Jake Magpie certainly won't be a repeat offender - the bloody thing on the rope is barely recognizable as human anymore.
You get a good look at the body as Mr. Plugg slowly pulls it from the front to the back of the ship, where he unceremoniously unties the wrists and chugs the remains over board.
He turns around and addresses the crew:
"I hope everyone here learned their lesson: No stealing on this ship.

And I see the cook's mate is here too, so time for chow now. Bon appetite everyone!"

With that, Mr. Plugg vanishes into the captain's quarters.
