Hawks Aerie Constable Killed by Robber

FASTHELD - Barit Smithy, constable of Hawk's Aerie, died while trying to thwart a robbery at a crossroads jewelry shop in the town. The thief stabbed Smithy before fleeing with a handful of gemstones and silver necklaces, but he didn't make it too far - a couple of just-off-the-docks boatsmen saw the altercation, snagged the thief and knocked him about for a while in an alley. The scattered jewelry got snatched up rather quickly by interested onlookers. The thief, one Paol Redhand of the Shadow District's Fetters who roamed a bit too far astray of his usual haunts, is now in custody in Hawk's Aerie, awaiting judgment.
