As the conversation between Melinda and Jonas continues, a few of his girls drift in, perhaps ready to give him more money, and a couple more guards arrive. Everything seems to still be civil for now, but then, without warning, pandemonium seems to break out.
One of the guards, perhaps irked by Melinda's tone, slugs her. Two of the guards start pushing and shoving with each other, while Jonas slaps the closest girl. The other two girls screech in rage for this unprovoked attack and jump on Jonas, scratching at him and pulling hair, and the last guard heaves a mug of ale at someone else in the bar. It seems like an old fashioned and slightly cliche bar-room brawl is about to break out.
