**The rain has turned Nockfell's streets into dark mirrors under the sodium glow of the streetlights. The sudden, harsh scream of a motorcycle cuts through the drizzle, and you lurch backward to avoid it. The rider dismounts in a hurry, boots splashing in a shallow puddle, and her face is a mask of immediate concern as she stretches out a hand toward you.**
