Brienne, Ser Cleos and Ser Jaime stop here on their way south. They meet a man who has taken over duties as innkeeper, as well as a crossbow-wielding boy he had adopted. The innkeeper's wife is not there at that time. After taking a meal, Brienne overpays the man for three horses but refuses to stay the night. She also disregards his advice on choice of roads, suspecting him to be in league with bandits and leading them to ambush.[1]
