Battling Empire Watchmen and citizens, to illustrate the Riot Settlement Event

Battling Empire Watchmen and citizens, to illustrate the Riot Settlement EventA crowd of excited citizens, protesting at the increase in taxes proposed by the burgomeister and his officials, fill the streets as an impassable, jeering mob. You are caught up and carried along by the crowd toward a cordon of the City Watch, halberds raised to repel the rioters…
Make an Pinning roll as if to escape from being pinned by a Monster. If you succeed, you manage to break free of the crowd and dart down a side alley before the inevitable violence. If you fail, you and a large number of the real rioters are beaten unconscious by the Watch. Upon recovery, you are fined 1d6 x 10 Gold for public disorder. You must pay up or spend 1d3 days in gaol, during which time you may not perform any Settlement Activities, generate Settlement Events or pay living expenses.
