New Town, Old Friends

Ser Jon Branlin walked into town around midday. The town was very busy and people were rushing back and fourth, coming and going. Ser Branlin walked along until he found a nice enough looking inn and went inside, he went to the barkeep and said, "How much for a room?"

The man replied, "2 silver piece a night."

"I'll take it." Ser Branlin said. He gave the man two silver coins and went upstairs. He threw his bag onto the bed, took off his chain mail, left the room, and locked the door. He decided that since he was in a new town he should get to know it a little and went for a walk.

As he was walking around town he noticed a lot of things. He saw many alleys and many well-to-do people out and about, he could tell he was in the "rich" part of town. He decided there was more fun to be had closer to the water, the slightly less "rich" part of town. He made his way to the docks and as he passed a tavern with two men standing outside, one of them looked over at him and shouted, "Hey, I know you! You're one of those Branlin bastards! I helped attack your castle! You killed my brother! C'mon mate, lets get him!"

The two men ran straight at Branlin, he stepped to the side and attempted to clothesline one of them. The man ducked under it and punched Branlin right in the gut. He reeled over then took and elbow between the shoulder blades. He went down to his knees. Then Branlin jabbed the man square in the knee, nearly breaking it. He stood up fast as he could, then ducked under a haymaker from the other. Then he uppercut the first one in the face, sending him airborne for an instant. Then he landed on the ground in a heap. The other guy saw what he did but decided to press the attack. Branlin jumped over a leg sweep then roundhouse kicked the man in the head sending him to the ground unconscious.

Branlin looked over the two bodies laying on the ground, shook his head, and walked away. He had had enough of this part of town.
