Thief Dead in Strange Accident

Fastheld' - A man known as Varyan tried pilfering a sack of coins from a farmer near the Lightholder Crossroads. The farmer pursued Varyan through the darkening gloom, shouting after the thief. The thief might have gotten away had it not been for his long hair, which obscured his vision and caused him not to see the pile of shardwood logs that tripped him, and had he not stumbled into a rotund and burly prostitute who shouted indignantly and shoved him forcefully toward a well whose gaping maw eagerly swallowed him with a clatter of coins, a plaintive yelp, and a distant splash. Solas Creek, proprietor of the Lightholder Tavern, noted that his inn would be getting water exclusively from the river for a while.
