Essentially the gates to a major city were closed during the night (a rare event for this particular city) in an attempt to stop an escaped fugitive from skipping town.  In the wee hours of the morning, an outbreak of what appeared to be a plauge began sweeping through the slums.  As the news spread, the citizens became convinced that the gates had been shut to contain the plauge and, depending on their alignment, began to alternatively assault the gates in an attempt to escape and to go on random sprees of violence in an attempt to go out with a bang.Of course, the fugitive had poisoned a well and spread a few juicy rumors in order to get the entire chaos started in order to create a diversion for his escape, but that's merely an exercise in plot twists.This is all (extremely loosely) based on riots against jewish people during the black plauge in which they were forced to confess that they had poisoned wells and then summarily burnt at the stake. Of course they did no such thing, whereas my villan was essentially evil incarnate.NCSUCodeMonkey</blockquote>
