Just over the hill and past the rushes, a well dressed older man stands backed up to a tree. In his hands is a large branch. He swings it back and forth in big, sweeping strikes. Three armed men surround him with shortswords drawn, but they're just being kept at bay. One has a fresh bleeding welt on his face where the branch must have struck.
"Stay back! Belgo! Run!" the old man shouts.
A young boy stands off to the side, perhaps 10 years old. Tears run down his face. "No! I won't leave you!"
Belgo charges one of the armed men, trying to tackle him, but is shoved to the ground with little effort.
The largest of the thugs sees you arrive. "Be off! This is none of your business!"
[sblock=For Halvar's eyes only]
You recognize the armed men as Jonar, Kelmund, and Finnar. Notorious troublemakers from Lake-town. In the years of the dragon, they were hired muscle under the service of the Old Master. The new, wiser Master dismissed them from service, and they've been acting as thieves and sellswords ever since. [/sblock]
