Added DiffLines:

* BullyingADragon: Unintentionally towards Merlin by the two thugs, who think they're simply pushing around a helpless servant. Because he is a servant, Merlin is unable to protect himself and would have been in real trouble if Gwaine hadn't turned up.

* YouAndWhatArmy: Arthur initially assumed that he just had to deal with a couple of thugs in the tavern, but then finds himself and Merlin facing a small army; it takes the unconventional addition of Gwaine to help Merlin and Arthur hold their own.

* BrokenAesop: The moral of the story is that nobility is based on a person's worth, not their birthright. It's somewhat ironic then that the man espousing this motto is a nobleman pretending to be a commoner, and the nobles that he condemns are in fact thuggish commoners in disguise.

* BrokenAesop: The moral of the story is that nobility is based on a person's worth, not their birthright. It's somewhat ironic then that the man espousing this motto is a nobleman pretending to be a commoner, commoner (albeit a genuinely penniless one), and the nobles that he condemns are in fact thuggish commoners in disguise.

Added DiffLines:

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Gwaine gets an excellent one when he sees Merlin and Arthur are outnumbered in the prospective BarBrawl, strolls up to them and remarks on it, before draining his mug, handing it to the confused Dagr, and slugging him in the face.

Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Dagr and Ebor. As two of the very few people lucky enough to survive a fight with Prince Arthur, do they ride off in search of easier pickings? No. Do they go on exploiting the same tavern, knowing that they can get safely away in the day it will take Prince Arthur's soldiers to get there? No. Do they threaten the villagers that anyone taking so much as a step in the direction of Camelot to send word for help will be disemboweled? No. Two guys whose whole resume consists of beating up defenseless villagers decide to assassinate the greatest warrior in the land. What could go wrong? And if they succeed, it will gain them precisely ''nothing'' - not even the revocation of the order to help the tavern keeper.
