Ravenlock
Recruit

I started a new squire on v.622, and immediately after finishing training won a few tournaments and got myself a quarterstaff, got the quest from the constable, and went out to start capturing river pirates on my own.
My first encounter was with 7 river pirates. I took 3 down with crossbow, and then knocked out the other 4 with my quarterstaff.
When I got back to town, the constable immediately gave me 700 gold, as though I had taken out 14 pirate groups, and the quest was marked as more than 50% done.
Subsequent fights with pirates have yielded expected results (50 gold, small increase in quest %), just this first encounter gave strange results.
