|
| ==Description==
| | During the 870s, the [[Vikings|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] encountered the three residents who dared her to enter the house and challenge Fergal to a flyting challenge. Eivor won the challenge, with "Fergal" running away when he could not think of a finishing blow.<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Floating conversations]]: Flyting</ref> |
| Eivor met a woman issuing a [[flyting]] challenge on behalf of a mysterious being.

|
| ==Dialogue== | | ==Appearances== |
| In [[Cambridge|Grantebridge]], Eivor came upon a locked hut with a group of three people standing outside. She spoke to the woman.
| | *''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' |
| *'''[[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] Woman''' ''You! Dane! Come closer...''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''What do you want?''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''You look to be a good fighter... but do you dare to face the greatest battle you will ever know?''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Of what do you speak?''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''I speak of a terrible and monstrous incorporeal power whose name is feared across these lands...<br>Fergal the Faceless, the most fearsome flyter in all of [[Cambridgeshire|Grantebridgescire]].'' | |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''Oooh...''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''Ughhh...''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''A flyter? Is that all?''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Fergal the Faceless has silenced doubters before. Will you challenge him?''
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|I will face the Faceless.=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''I will face the Faceless.''
| |
| |-|This sounds absurd.=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''You're absurd.''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''You are right to be afraid. You may return to me, should you ever wish to face death by flyting.''
| |
| Eivor left. She later returned and accepted the challenge.
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''You return. Do you dare, traveler, face the terrible flyting wrath of Fergal the Faceless?''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''I will face the Faceless.''
| |
| </tabber>
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''[gasp]''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''My God...''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''You are braver than most. Or perhaps more foolish. Come, I will give you a key.<br>This key unlocks Fergal's lair, which you see now before you!''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''That's a house.''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''No! No, it is a den of nightmares! A pit of death from which few have ever escaped unharmed!''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''By words. Unharmed by words.''
| |
| *'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Go! Go now. And God be with you.''
| |
| Eivor took the key and unlocked the hut to find it full of skeletons and animal skulls, with a stool set beside a wear in the back wall. She sat on the stool. A man's voice came from seemingly nowhere.
| |
| *'''Fergal the Faceless:''' ''A new victim! What fool dares to challenge the might of Fergal the Faceless?''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Eivor of the [[Raven Clan]].''
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''Eivor of the Raven Clan. My next meal. Are you prepared to be eviscerated by words?''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''I think I will survive.''
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''I am Fergal the Faceless, and I am clever and strong! But you're not! You're ugly, and weak, and you're a big smelly coward!!<br>You're probably too scared to even face me, now that I think about it!''
| |
| Eivor smiled.
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Sorry, have you started?''
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''Yes, obviously! I said you're probably too scared to face me!''
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|Clumsy=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''But your rhythm is clumsy, you'll never outpace me.''
| |
| |-|Weak=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''It's the weakest attempt I've yet heard to disgrace me.''
| |
| |-|Fool=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''See, your rhythm's how a fool would attempt to debase me.''
| |
| </tabber>
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''Ah! You think you can win with rhyme, do you? Well... if you like to rhyme, listen this time.<br>I'm very brave, my flyting is grave. I'm not a knave, and it's victory that I really crave.<br>Your tongue is fat, you're a sprat, you whine like a little brat, and we are in a spat!''
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|Flat=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''All my life I've not heard of a flyting so flat.''
| |
| |-|Rat=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Says the flyter who hides in a hole like a rat.''
| |
| |-|Weak=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''There has never been so weak an insult as that.''
| |
| </tabber>
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''O, you've made a terrible mistake. Be ready for my finishing blow!<br>I am the best at flyting, I have got powerful skills.<br>I'm strong as an ox and clever as a fox, I'm sharp as a dozen... hawks.''
| |
| Eivor noticed movement behind the wicker of the worn wall beside her and smirked.
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''Let me show you my skills and then you I shall kill... dead, with my... mm... my skill.''
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|I do not think you will best me.=
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''While it's quaint you think you can best me, I must say... I don't think you will.''
| |
| |-|You're not a talented flyter, Fergal.=
| |
| |-|You can stop now, we're done.=
| |
| </tabber>
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''You... well... I... just one moment! I... I need to think. Give me time!''
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Fergal the Faceless or Fergal the Wordless?''
| |
| *'''Fergal:''' ''No! You get ready! The killing blow is... it's coming! It's...''
| |
| There was the sound of movement, and Eivor stood.
| |
| *'''Eivor:''' ''Fergal? Hello?''
| |
| Through the open door of the hut, she saw a man running away, and she shook her head in amusement.
| |
| | |
| ==Outcome==
| |
| Eivor defeated Fergal the Faceless in a flyting match.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It's literally impossible to lose this match, no matter what dialogue options are chosen.
