| | |-|Erke and Stowe= |
| | Eivor met with her allies from [[London|Lunden]] outside the camp. |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Isn't it pleasant, getting out of the [[London|city]] and into the wild?'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''It's too empty out here. No sound but the birds and the wind in the grass.'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Never fear, Erke. We'll soon be home, back to the racket and stink of the tanner's yard.'' |
| | Eivor spoke with her allies. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Erke, Stowe. Ready to attack?'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''I have reservations.'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''Sparrow-heart has reservations.'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Though [[Mercia]] wars often with Wessex, these people are Christians. Perhaps I can talk to them, to avert more bloodshed?'' |
| | {{#tag:tabber| |
| | We will try it your way, Stowe.= |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''You know the people of this isle better than I, Stowe. I trust you.'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Thank you, Eivor. I will do what I can.'' |
| | Eivor and her allies approached the camp openly, and Stowe addressed the soldiers. |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Brave soldiers! My name is Stowe, Reeve of Lunden, and this Dane at my side is Reeve Erke. He is my partner in Lunden. Together we see that justice is done. But more, he is my friend. In Lunden, we live in harmony with the Danes. So could you. But your king does not share our philosophy. Aelfred bleeds his land dry, works you all to the bone for a needless war. Now he wants you to die for it. So I beg you, in God's name, walk away from this camp. I will find you new and worthy employment in Lunden. You are good men and true. I would not want this day to be your last.'' |
| | *'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier 1:''' ''This one's right. The Danes are here to stay, like it or not. What's good dying now?'' |
| | *'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier 2:''' ''Don't be a lackwit! Soon as you drop your swords, they'll murder us!'' |
| | *'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier 3:''' ''That's no heathen talking. He's a Saxon. I, for one, believe him.'' |
| | *'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier 1:''' ''Come on, lads. It's a new life in Lunden for us. Better that than dying here in the mud.'' |
| | A few of the soldiers left as most of them stood their ground. |
| | *'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier 2:''' ''We'll deal with you traitors later. The rest of you, attack!'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Brave try, friend. But now we do things my way.'' |
| | Eivor and the reeves fought against the remaining soldiers. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''When words fail, iron speaks loudest.'' |
| | The remaining Saxons were slain and the camp was secured. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''The camp is ours!'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''That wasn't so hard, was it, Stowe?'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Even one's man death is too many.'' |
| | {{!}}-{{!}} |
| | We would lose the element of surprise.= |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''More lives than these are at stake, Stowe. You would warn them of our intention.'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''I understand. I promised my aid, and I will keep my word.'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''Enough wringing of souls. Time to act. |
| | Eivor and her allies charged at the camp. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Onward! Take the Saxons' camp!'' |
| | The Saxons were slain to a man and the forward camp was secured. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''The camp is ours!'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''That wasn't so hard, was it, Stowe?'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Even one's man death is too many.'' |

| | I will go in alone.= |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''No sense raising the alarm. I will take care of them quietly. Be ready to come to my aid.'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''We have your back, Eivor.'' |
| | Eivor entered the camp alone and set about killing the occupants. |
| | {{#tag:tabber| |
| | Spotted by the soldiers= |
| | Eivor was spotted by the soldiers, which prompted her allies to rush in and help. |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''Need some help, [[Wolf]]-Kissed?'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Could we not have talked with them first?'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''This way is quicker. The dead don't argue.'' |
| | The Saxons were slain to a man and the forward camp was secured. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''The camp is ours!'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''That wasn't so hard, was it, Stowe?'' |

| | |-|Erke, Stowe, and Ljufvina= |
| | Eivor met with her allies from Lunden and [[York|Jorvik]] outside the camp. |
| | *'''[[Ljufvina Bjarmarsdottir|Ljufvina]]:''' ''Passing through my lands, [[Hjorr Halfsson|Hjorr]] met my father. The two got on like tinder and flame. And soon we were married.'' |
| | *'''[[Erke Bodilsson|Erke]]:''' ''You see, [[Stowe]]? Befriend a king and one is set for life. What could be simpler?'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''And how do you like [[England]], Ljufvina?'' |
| | *'''Ljufvina:''' ''A gloomy land, full of puzzling people. But when it shows itself in glory, it is magnificent.'' |
| | Eivor spoke with her allies. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''How does it look?'' |
| | *'''Ljufvina:''' ''Crawling with Saxon soldiers like lice on a [[pig|swine]]. The very sight sours my blood.'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''Would the sight of their bodies in the mud please you better?'' |
| | *'''Ljufvina:''' ''One way to find out.'' |
| | *'''Stowe:''' ''Eivor, I beg you, [[Alfred the Great|Aelfred]]'s men or not, they are Saxons and [[Christianity|Christians]]. If I could speak to them, we might avoid bloodshed.'' |
| | *'''Ljufvina:''' ''And lose the element of surprise. These people make their living by the blade. We should attack headlong.'' |

| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Ljufvina speaks true. In trying to save their lives, you would endanger ours. We fight.'' |
| | *'''Ljufvina:''' ''At last, a chance to test the mettle of these [[Wessex]] folk. I wonder how they measure against those of the [[Northumbria|North]]?'' |
| | *'''Erke:''' ''One way to find out.'' |

| ==Outcome== | | ==Outcome== |
| Eivor, Stowe and Erke took the camp after convicing a part of the guards to leave, and killing the others. | | Eivor and her allies took over the Saxon camp. |
| | |
| | ==Behind the scenes== |
| | In terms of narrative chronology, the events of the Jorvik arc take place after the events of Suthsexe. Nonetheless, Jorvik itself is available to pledge immediately after completing Lunden and reporting back to [[Hytham]]—despite the gap in region level—and Ljufvina is available as an ally in the Suthsexe arc. Her participation in these events is noted at the [[Holy Day|climax]] of the main story. |
