Eivor arrived at the hall in Hemthorpe, where a mob was being dealt with by Trygve.
*'''[[Norse people|Norse]] Man 1:''' ''This is an outrage!''
*'''Trygve:''' ''Our strong feelings for [[Hemming]] come with much grief.''
Eivor went and talked with Trygve.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Festive.''
*'''Trygve:''' ''Too festive! And too soon. Fires, fights, and every man soaked in mead. Ugh! This has gone too far.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hemthorpe could burn before the pyre is lit.''
*'''Trygve:''' ''[[Norse mythology|Gods]], have I failed my dear [[jarl]]?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Peace, Trygve. I'll do what I can to calm things.''
Eivor left to calm the people of Hemthorpe. Among her search, Eivor overheard commotion from a man.
*'''Norse Man 2:''' ''That [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxon]] did what? How dare he insult our culture! He is a dead man if I ever get my hands on him.''
Eivor also overheard a couple of women talking about another issue.
*'''Norse Woman 1:''' ''Did you see that sobbing sack of meat with the [[Chicken|roosters]]?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman 1:''' ''What an arse-hole...''
Eivor went to investigate the matter and found a gathering of people atop a ring of scaffolding around a ruined [[Roman Empire|Roman]] tower converted to a storehouse, from which they observed a drunken man fighting a group of roosters. A child laughed while the adults were incensed.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child 1:''' ''That man is being attacked by chickens!''
*'''Norse Man 3:''' ''Someone get that drunk away from the chickens!''
Another man lay injured on the ground nearby, apparently knocked over by the charging chickens.
*'''Norse Warrior 1:''' ''I didn't see them coming! I never looked down! I never saw them coming!''
From the scaffolds, Eivor heard the cries of the man besieged by the chickens.
*'''Norse Warrior 2:''' ''Stay back, foul beasts! Help me! Someone help me!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''When you sober up, steer clear of roosters.''
Additionally, Eivor found a man who stood on a nearby roof flush with drink. The man fell over unconscious as Eivor climbed up to meet him and carried him down to the ground. Looking around, Eivor found another man on another roof and aided him similarly. She overheard more commotion about a burning house.
*'''Norse Man 4:''' ''Did you see what happened to the house where they kept the voda? It has gone up in flames!''
Eivor followed the smoke and found the sight of a burning house while those nearby lamented its impending loss.
*'''Norse Woman 2:''' ''Fire! Fire!''
*'''Norse Man 5:''' ''Not the voda... I love the voda...''
Eivor found a woman nearby the burning house.
[[File:ACV Rowdy Raiders 3.png|thumb|250px|A woman asking Eivor for help]]
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''Help! Fire! Save my voda! It burns!''
Eivor spoke to the woman.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What is this voda you speak of?''
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''A gift without price, fit for a jarl's lips! But hurry! It catches flame!''
:If Eivor spoke to her again, she continually begged for help.
:*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''Please, retrieve my voda, I beg of you! 'Tis my funeral gift! The honor of my family at stake!''
Eivor went inside the burning house.
<tabber>
|-|Saved the voda=
Eivor extracted the voda and brought it to the woman.
*'''Eivor:''' ''If this is your voda, I managed to save it from the licking flames.''
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''You dared Surtr's Heat! Yes! A most potent drink, distilled from grain by the {{Wiki|Kievan Rus'|Rus of Kiev}}. Dip your horn and have a drink.''
The woman moved near her voda display.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A bit of drink in the belly never hurt...''
Eivor went to have a drink of voda.
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''Watch yourself... the voda sneaks up on you quick.''
Eivor drank a horn of voda and left to find the next issue.
|-|Did not save the voda=
Despite Eivor's efforts, the voda exploded in the flames.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It was too late for your... your voda, as you say.''
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''Ah, balls! I dragged it all the way from Rus! It is back to water ale for me, I suppose.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''If you drink enough, ale is a fine fix to any problem.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Very true, very true. Join me if you desire.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''A bit of drink in the belly never hurt...''
Eivor drank a horn of ale and left to find the next issue.
</tabber>
Along her search, Eivor came across a mob of people outside a house.
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''Come out, you dung-eating [[rat]]!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''No! You'll hurt me!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman 2:''' ''They're going to kill him! I told him not to do it. Now he's locked up in that house with no way out.''
[[File:ACV Rowdy Raiders 5.png|thumb|250px|Eivor questioning one of the Norse women outside the house]]
Eivor spoke to a woman in front of the mob.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What madness is this?''
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''You dare wash our beloved Hemming with your filth!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I asked you a question, friend.''
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''There's a Saxon within. One stupid enough to try sending Hemming to Heaven over [[Valhalla (afterlife)|Valhalla]].
Her voiced picked up, directly squarely at the cowering Saxon within.
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''Now he cowers behind a locked door!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''I only did right by his immortal soul!''
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''You will get what is right for you!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Calm yourselves, all of you. I will speak with him. Unmask his true intentions.''
Eivor went to go inside the house.
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''Get that stain out here now!''
Eivor looked around and notice a weak window cover behind the house. Climbing in, Eivor broke her way inside the man's house.'
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''O my [[Christianity|God]]!''
[[File:ACV Rowdy Raiders 6.png|thumb|250px|Eivor encouraging the Saxon man in the house]]
Eivor spoke with the man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''The people are quite upset.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''Leave me be! I did nothing wrong!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You should walk out of here on your own, before you cannot walk at all.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''Yes, yes! I'll walk, I'll walk! Don't hurt me, please! There's a key there. If you open the door I... I will follow you out.''
Eivor picked up the key from the floor.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''You got the key... use it.''
Eivor walked the man out and talked with the woman leading the mob.
[[File:ACV Rowdy Raiders 7.jpg|thumb|250px|Eivor settles dispute between Norse mob and Saxon man]]
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''You'll pay for your wrongs, desecrator!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Enough. Let him speak to explain himself.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''I loved Hemming, I swear! I only want him to fly free in the Kingdom of God!''
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''So you drench his body with your filth-waters?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Was it your Christian holy-water?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''Of course! I anointed him in the name of the Lord.''
<tabber>
|-|You were wrong to bless your dead jarl=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Never inflict your Christian mysteries on a dead Norseman.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''But I only—''
*'''Eivor:''' ''These are your neighbors. Respect them. Learn their ways. And you will draw breath long into old age.''
Eivor left as the mob advanced on him.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''O, no...''
*'''Norse Woman 4:''' ''There you are, baptized as one of us.
Eivor took her leave as the mob beat up the man.
|-|Who cares of a little water?=
Eivor reflected on Hemming and smiled warmly.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hemming was never one to weep over a bit of rain. Neither should you.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hemming would laugh at the very idea.''
The woman thought on Eivor's words and let go of her outrage.
|-|Stop embarassing yourselves=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Shut your mouths, both of you. Your antics have outlasted their welcome. Now go.''
</tabber>
With the matter of the "baptism" resolved, the mob dispersed.
Having seen to all three areas of unrest, Eivor made her back through the village.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Some order seems to have been restored. Now to Trygve to let him know.''
[[File:ACV Rowdy Raiders 8.png|thumb|250px|Eivor reporting her efforts to Trygve]]
Eivor returned to Hemthorpe's longhouse and talked with Trygve.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I've calmed the guests as much as they can be in their grief.''
*'''Trygve:''' ''They mourn. It is to be expected. Still, thank you.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''And how do you feel, old friend?''
*'''Trygve:''' ''I mourn more deeply than most, I think.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hemming would be proud of what you have accomplished here. All you have done for him.''
*'''Trygve:''' ''I hope so.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This ache will pass, Trygve. With time.''
*'''Trygve:''' ''Yes. It will.''
==Outcome==
==Outcome==
TBA
Eivor settled a dispute between a mob and a Christian man, rescued a pot of voda from a burning building and protected a man from attacking roosters.
==Behind the scenes==
The memory's quest markers may lead to the drunken man on roofs near the docks, however they are not actually required to complete the memory. The memory only requires saving the man from the chickens, the woman with the voda, and the besieged Anglo-Saxon who "baptized" Hemming's body.
The ambient dialogues pointing to the objective locations are difficult to trigger. The one regarding the rooster-fighter requires an Anglo-Saxon woman and a Norse woman in close proximity to one another—a distinction that is not easy to make exploring Hemthorpe, though there are often two next to each other on the path east of the longhouse—and the other remarks require two separate Norse male NPCs. The line about the Norse outraged at the Saxon man's "desecration" appears to fire more easily than the other two, and going to fulfill that objective first seems to make the other two easier to generate thereafter, though all comments are technically generable until completing all three. The comments can be triggered by just about any qualifying NPC and are not tied to any specific location within the settlement, however the comments in the vicinity of the objectives—e.g. the laughing child and the woman yelling "Fire!"—are fairly consistent and are more easily triggered in passing.
