Objectives
Coen ought to speak with Vladimir and gauge their footing.
Vladimir would not hear Coen's arguments — perhaps his fists will persuade better.
Vladimir had been maligning Drogos out of earshot, which riled some manumits; Coen might rescue Vlad or let them school him.
Vlad may merit a thrashing — yet Coen has elected to aid him regardless, meaning a brawl against several manumits.
A thrashing would do Vlad good, Coen reckons — he has decided to let the manumits teach him that lesson.
