(Not gonna lie, it took me a while to notice it xD)

The Floating Boar, safe haven for pirates, mercenaries and all kinds of scum. The inn was an incredibly old galleon turned into a tavern, always full and always loud.

It no longer had usable sails as the gigantic masts were used to provide cover in case of storms and it was always anchored, using two heavy anchors on each side. The Boar's location was a secret to anyone not well connected or brutal enough to have visited before and as such, they were safe from all who wished it gone.

It was a particularly agitated night and it was no surprise that Wulfgar already collected five ended brawls by that time.

"I guess your presence is needed again, Wulf.", Fjal, the Boar's owner and barkeep pointed out an upcoming brawl to his hired security and Wulfgar sighed, quickly approaching the discussing, drunken duo and punching both of them before they got to a fight.

"Done.", the big, dusty-blonde nord grumpily said and grabbing his mug of ale and sitting back on the bar's seat.

"I don't pay you to be that grumpy, Wulf. We're mates, you can tell me what is wrong...", Fjal, who was a scrawny little nord with a kind face which could fool the saviest of the men.

"It's not that, Fjal. It's just... well, we used to have people who could endure more than a few miliseconds against me back in the days. Now? All weakling and self-righteous thieves, I need a challenge every once in a while.", Wulf tried hard to be heard amongst the shouts and loud noises inside the Inn.

"Hmm, I see. Ahhh, well, there is another brawl to be stopped and...", Fjal finally said after a few moments of silence between the two, but he quickly stopped himself when the Floating Boar's doors were slammed open with raw violence and a hooded figure went through it.

The whole bar stopped what they were doing, as it was custom, and stared at the newcomer. A gigantic man, clearly over 7ft tall and wide as a wardrobe, his arms were as thick as logs and his feet made the floorboards creak in desperation under his weight.

Wulfgar smiled, "Now there is a challenge.

"Wulf, wait he is...", Fjal attempted to warn his friend, but before the nord could finish the sentence Wulfgar was already upon the newcomer.

It was custom that if deemed unworthy, the newcomers had to be taught a lesson and usually a few men and/or women got up from their seats and made their job to teach it. Unfortunately, for Wulfgar, the customer's fear of him made them stay still, making him the only one to confront the newcomer.

"Hey, you. There is a toll to pass through those doors, pay it up or I'll make you pay.", Wulf smiled wide.

"You truly don't know me?", the hooded man laughed a thunderous laugh that echoed through the hall, "Fjal really hires any kind of folk these days, it seems. Step away, short-stuff or I'll make you even shorter."

The man's laugh and joke made the entire tavern fall into complete silence as everyone observed the two muscular men.

"You shouldn't ha...", as soon as Wulf started his reply, the hooded man moved quickly across the distance between the two and before the nord could finish his sentence he was already flat down onto the deck, knocked out cold.

"New henchman, huh Fjal? Funny guy...kinda stupid, though.", Tormund lowered his hood as he approached the barkeep.

"Sorry about that, milord. Wulf is a good man, but he was bored as hell... You know how things arr around here.", Fjal smiled and served the King of Farrun his favorite drink, mead with juniper berry.

"Is Tankard around? I need to have a few with him.", the giant breton finished the bottle as quickly as it was humanly possible.

"Sure, the same place as always.", Fjal nodded towards the door which lead into the inner parts of the ancient ship and soon enough Tormund thanked him, following the nord's directions.

It didn't took long after Tormund's disappearance into the backdoor for the customers to return to their own business and loudness, as it was custom.
