True account of the Lady Celeerial’s unfortunate mugging
In the City of Solhaven.
[Solhaven, The Crooked Way]
Crates lie shattered upon the ground, the splintered wood only adding to the blanket of garbage and other debris scattered upon the cobblestones. Dark sloping roofs crowd in on both northern and southern corners, their surfaces rotted and weathered by time's passage. Thick moisture clouds the air here, and the pungent salty scent of the sea is readily noticed. An alleway is just visible among the crates, between two of the buildings on the north side of the Way. You also see a small black wardstone.
Also here: Lord Featherwings
Obvious paths: northeast, west
As Featherwings begins to walk off, a bottle flies out of the shadows behind him and hits his head dead-on! Featherwings falls flat on his face!
Featherwings is stunned!
Celeerial blinks.
Celeerial screams!
Celeerial pulls Featherwings to his feet, but he can't stand on his own and falls over!
Featherwings says, "what the"
Celeerial rubs Featherwings tenderly.
Featherwings stands up.

Featherwings says, "hmmm"
Featherwings says, "you try it once going west and see if it does same to you I wonder"
Celeerial quietly asks, "where were ya goin?"
Celeerial quietly says, "oh ok"
Featherwings says, "I said west"
Celeerial trudges off to the west.
[Solhaven, The Crooked Way]
Small puddles gather in shallow depressions in the ground, the cobblestones beneath their surfaces barely visible in the clouded, dirty water. Buildings press closer here, imparting a more cramped feeling that's further enhanced by the sharp angles and uniform construction of the buildings.
Obvious paths: east, northwest
As you begin to walk, you feel a hard impact on the back of your head! A large splintered board drops to the ground and the last thing you hear is hurried footsteps in the opposite direction just before everything goes black...
Celeerial struggles, but fail to stand.
.
Celeerial pauses then slowly moves to a standing position.
A large dark-clad man trudges in, his eyes shifting around suspiciously.
Celeerial blinks and shivers.
The man's footsteps echo on the cobblestones behind you, and you hear a faint chuckle.
The man's footsteps fall steadily and methodically near you.
Celeerial screams!
Celeerial quietly exclaims, "who are you!"
The man's footsteps fall steadily and methodically near you.

Celeerial asks the man why he’s following her.
The man doesn't look like the kind of person to engage in idle chit-chat with.
The man's footsteps fall steadily and methodically near you.
Celeerial takes a good look at the man and sees:
The dark-clad man is a raggedy concoction of questionable heritage. Matted hair and thick muscles are about the only noticeable things upon him, besides from the horribly dirty clothes he wears and a wide grin that occasionally cracks his ugly face as he glances in your direction.
The man's footsteps fall steadily and methodically near you.
The man's footsteps fall steadily and methodically near you.
Celeerial pokes a finger at the man.
The man gives Celeerial a strange look.
You nervously exclaim, "leave me alone!"
Celeerial glances around her and sees:

The man grins and begins to kick you harshly in the gut as you lie upon the ground!
The man kicks you sharply in the ribs several times, chuckling throatily as he does so.
The man begins to rummage through your pockets in search of coins, and he is not disappointed. He quickly takes them from you and pockets them with a smug smirk. Without any hesitation, he walks off, leaving your battered self upon the ground.
Lord Featherwings just arrived.
A large dark-clad man comes walking in, his eyes focused as he flexes his fists.
Celeerial screams!
Celeerial stands back up.
Celeerial nervously says, "he stole it all"

Celeerial sniffs.

Celeerial nods.

[Solhaven, The Crooked Way]
A few windows are inset high into the walls around you, their surfaces bearing untold years of dirt and other accumulated grit. Crates are stacked next to or in front of some of the more weathered-looking doors here, and numerous bits of garbage are liberally piled in a haphazard fashion around them. Ragged stains that are clearly not from water or mud mar the ground here, the only thing clearly visible through the covering of refuse.
Obvious paths: southeast, west
Lord Featherwings just arrived.
Featherwings clasps your hand tenderly.
Lord Featherwings's group just went west.
[Solhaven, The Crooked Way]
Tendrils of mist creep along the ground like writhing serpents, cloaking the bits of garbage and other debris scattered across the cobblestones in a hazy veil of grey. The walls of buildings loom overhead, leaving only a meager slice of pale moonlight to barely illuminate the surroundings. The street takes an abrupt turn here, the cramped feeling more pronounced in this curved section.
Also here: Lord Featherwings
Obvious paths: east, southwest
A large dark-clad man comes walking in, his eyes focused as he flexes his fists.

Featherwings whispers, "ok again, on my nod go south-west and same as before be open for me to grab you hand.
Featherwings nods.
Celeerial runs south west.
[Solhaven, The Crooked Way]
Consisting of the narrow spaces between dark houses and other structures, the Crooked Way stretches out into half-lit patches of ground alternating with deep shadows on every side. The faint trickling sound of water through the cracked cobblestones is intermingled with the scurrying of rats and hurried footfalls in the darkness. A dilapidated arch, its wooden surface warped and weathered, leads out to a somewhat brighter street to the west. You also see a dilapidated archway.
Obvious paths: northeast

Lord Featherwings's group went through a dilapidated archway.
[Solhaven, Southbay Road]
The cries of the merchants hawking their wares in the South Market are distant here, echoing about the area in strange patterns of sound. A huge pier juts out into the sea to the northwest, the large roofs of warehouses built upon it looming up into the sky. A dilapidated archway stretches across the entrance to a winding street to the east, its pathways clouded by darkness.
Also here: Lord Featherwings
Obvious paths: northwest
Featherwings beams!
The dark man is lost to the shadows outside…. Beware the alleys of solhaven.
