Let Them Eat Ashes was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Eivor met with Ubba Ragnarsson in Guildford to burn Fulke's grain stores.
Dialogue
Eivor arrived at Guildford to find Ubba.
- Eivor: Guildford is a town of farmers and grain silos. Ubba will be nearby.
Eivor found and spoke with Ubba nearby Saint Lewinna's Church.
- Eivor: All is ready?
- Ubba: For a town of farmers and shepherds, this place bristles with swords. One of them is a thegn by his dress. Serious men with him too. Went into the longhouse.
- Eivor: If we take care, we might avoid drawing the thegn's attention while we burn the grain silos.
- Ubba: Ah! Was that a jest? Bring them on! Been too long since I met a Saxon worth half a shit.
Eivor and Ubba pulled up their hoods and began sneaking around Guildford to burn down the silos. They burned a couple silos with little opposition.
- Ubba: All this sneaking about is giving me a cramp in my arse.
- Eivor: It is hard to be quiet with you complaining.
As they burned the silos, Eivor and Ubba overheard a conversation from within the longhouse.
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 1: Danes are crawling all over Suthsexe! We must bolster the fyrds. Recruit more soldiers!
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 2: The king's already pulled every able man into his service. Scanty pickings out there.
- Anglo-Saxon Man 1: They ain't proper soldiers, either. Farmers and tradesmen. The last showed up with hayforks and shovels!
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 1: I don't want excuses. I need more men!
Eivor consulted with Ubba on the conversation they overheard.
- Eivor: Little do they dream how close we have come already.
- Ubba: Farmers and tradesmen! This land is ours for the taking.
Eivor and Ubba continued to destroy the silos. They continued to hide while the
- Ubba: Hiding like field mice. It is not our way.
- Eivor: We are not hiding like field mice. We are stalking like lynxes.
Ubba continued to chafe under the stealthier methods of destruction.
- Ubba: Can we not just kill the lot of them?
- Eivor: Do it my way first.
- If Eivor and Ubba were discovered, the soldiers attacked them with haste.
- Anglo-Saxon Man 2: Danes! The Danes have come! Call the thegn!
- Eivor: They spotted us!
- Ubba: Thank Odin for that! I am sick of skulking around. Now where's the big man?
- The strong thegn eventually reached Eivor and Ubba, attacking them.
- Eivor and Ubba defeated him as well. With the soldiers wiped out, they returned to the burning.
Eventually, Eivor and Ubba destroyed all six silos.
- Ubba: Is it over? I was just working up a sweat.
- Eivor: There will be Saxons enough to test you in Portcestre.
- Ubba: I will hold you to that. See you at the camp.
Outcome
Ubba and Eivor burned all grain stores in the city, killing any guards who stood in their way.
