So after a long trek through The Rift, I finally reached Riften. I enter the city, only to see that, for some unknown reason, an Imperial courier was in the middle of the market running away from the guards! The citizens rightfully kept their distance, save one: Maven Blackbriar! She started attacking any Riften guard she could. Unfortunately for her she was quickly overwelmed and brought to her knee. The guards sheathed their weapons, only to have Maven start attacking them again when she recovered. It was quite the scene.
I wonder if I should step in and help Maven since I'm the leader of the Thieve's guild and all, but then that'd get the guards all up my [censored] as well...
