Middle Earth: Many Meetings

[Judge Simon]

Jecht looked down the long road. The sun had already set and night was cvoming fast. He had traveled far and stil had far to go. But he did not want to go any further tonight. Across the road was a small tavern.he smiled at the thought of a good pint and walked over to it. The tavern was noisey. A busy noght apparently and good for him. No one would notice him as a stranger. Jecht swaggered over to the bar.
Jecht-Hey barkeep!
barkeeper-What?
Jecht-Give me a pint of your strongest.
The barkeeper slid Jecht a mug full of the strong ale. Jecht tossed him some coins and headed over a table by the fire. As he walked a large man stuck out his leg and tripped Jecht
Man: Watch where yer goin' half breed!
Jecht: Watch yourself you drunk...
Man: Hey dont you be tellin' me what to do.
The man stood up and bared his fists. Jecht laughed off the man's threat quietly. And then with out warning threw an uppercut to the man's chest. The man doubled over and Jecht threw a left and right hook to his head. The man fell over and his buddies took him away. Jecht smirked as the man had to be led away. Jecht fixed his coat and re-composed himself. He walked to the man's table and picked up the man's untouched drink and then with it walked over to a table nearest the fire. He took a seat and the crowd quickly returned to their own business. Jecht watched the crowd for a moment and then some one caught his eye....
