Event on Black Forest

Making good progress along the forest road, you have occasion to see other travelers in small groups ambling in the opposite direction. Your party approaches a blind beggar, face shadowed by a cowl, cane tapping out his way along the roadside. Smiling, you lean down from your mount as you pass tendering a coin for his cup. He throws back his hood and pulls a crossbow from his robe. He robs you at boltpoint.
