Catapult Nightmare: There's a scene where a Torches and Pitchforks mob advances on Dreverhaven's business. The scene gets odder when Dreverhaven strips naked for some unknown reason before going out front to confront them. Then they lynch him. It ends with Dreverhaven awaking from a Catapult Nightmare.
