	Eivor saved Hunwald from the ~~soldiers~~, ~~trying~~ to ~~kill~~ him, ~~and made haste~~ to ~~travel to Lincoln~~.		Eivor reunited with Hunwald and saved him from the soldiers who meant him harm.

			==Behind the scenes==
			The dialogue from the soldiers who accost Hunwald does not seem tied to any soldiers in particular; killing them in sequence seems to trigger the lines from disembodied voice files, regardless of which guards are killed first, however killing them all in rapid succession (on Saga difficulty with the Focus of the Nornir ability, for example) seems to skip their lines and advance the quest logic straight to "reviving" Hunwald. Similarly, killing one from stealth causes Eivor to yell out "Leave him be!" and the guards yell out in reply, however they continue to stand idle until they actively detect the player.
