Storming the Walls was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor met with her allies at the Forward Camp to finally assault Portcestre.

Dialogue

Eivor arrived at the forward camp to regroup with her allies. Depending on who Eivor had helped, the more allies she had.

• Norse Warrior 1: Eivor has returned! Hail, Wolf-Kissed!

Eivor could speak to Hunwald.

Hunwald is EaldormanHerefrith is not Ealdorman

• Eivor: Ealdorman Hunwald, you honor your father by answering my call. Swanburrow sends her regards.
• Hunwald: My ladylove! Let her name be my flame of hope, for I confess the thought of this battle turns my guts to water.
• Eivor: Fighting is easy. Just look your opponents in the eyes, then put an axe between them.
• Hunwald: Yes, I remember. Well, I have brought the best archers in Lincolnscire to lend their bows to your cause.

• Eivor: Hunwald. This is quite a surprise. Welcome.
• Hunwald: Yes, I surprised myself, for what it's worth. If I cannot be ealdorman, I can at least honor my father by acting as one. My lord has sent you the best archers in Lincolnscire, and I am here to lead them.

• Eivor: Good. We will rain death upon our enemies today. Good work, Hunwald. Be ready.

Eivor spoke to Stowe and Erke.

Stowe talked to the SaxonsEivor attacked the Saxons.

• Stowe: I appreciate your efforts to spare the innocent, Eivor. At least we saved some lives here.
• Eivor: One day, Saxon and Dane, Norse and Briton, will live as brothers ans sisters, as they do in Lunden.
• Stowe: I only wish the path to peace were not paved with so many skulls.
• Eivor: We cannot choose the way the world is. Our only choice is how to face it.

• Stowe: And so violence begets violence. "An eye for an eye" as the Good Book says. But soon, we will all be blind.
• Eivor: Not quite. Whoever makes the last strike should still have one eye left.
• Stowe: "In the street of the blind, the one-eyed man is called Guiding Light."
• Erke: Does that holy tome of yours have a quote for everything?

• Stowe: Eivor, forgive me. I have slain too many of my own people already. I cannot kill more. I must return to Lunden.
• Eivor: And you, Erke? Do you feel the same?
• Erke: Someone has to keep an eye on him in the big city. He would only get himself killed otherwise.
• Eivor: We took this camp together, so I will ask no more of you. Return home, and let your friendship be a becon to our peoples.

Eivor grasped arms with Erke, while Stowe put her arm on her shoulder.

• Stowe: Godspeed, Eivor. I pray you come back safe.

Eivor could speak to Ljufvina.

• Eivor: Ever my staunch ally, Ljufvina. Are your men ready?

Ljufvina: They are. Bows strung and arrows fletched. We will harry the enemy from the flanks to keep them off your back. They will not have a moment's peace from us.

• Eivor: I know I can count on you, Ljufvina.

Ljufvina: What are friends for?

Eivor could talk to Birstan.

• Eivor: Birstan. I'm glad to see you again. How is your family?
• Birstan: Alfida keeps my house and heart in order. She has even charmed that old shrew Eadred.
• Eivor: And Eluric? He has not returned?
• Birstan: I hear stories of a man full of tempests, picking fights in taverns. We must hope, when hope is all we have.
• Eivor: I am sorry for your troubles but glad for your help.
• Birstan: I have brought for you a ram of unsurpassed craftsmanship. Their gates will not hold long against it.
• Eivor: That is a fine gift indeed. I will make good use of it.
• Birstan: Fight hard, Eivor.
• Eivor: When have I don otherwise?

Eivor could talk to Soma.

• Eivor: Soma Jarlskona. You seem grave.
• Soma: I am thinking on the battle to come. Every conflict has a cost. I wonder who will pay this time?
• Eivor: We are no strangers to loss, you and I.
• Soma: The ache of absent souls is a wound that never heals. But we may return your brother to your side. There is that.
• Eivor: Fulke and her men will bear the cost today, not us.
• Eivor: I wish I were as sure of it as you.

Eivor climbed up the hill to find more allies. Eivor could talk to Ubba.

• Eivor: Ubba. Any advice before we begin?
• Ubba: Advise? You need none of that now. You stand in no one's shadow, Eivor.
• Eivor: Lofty praise from the son of Ragnar Lothbrok.
• Ubba: It may be that one day our paths leads us to doom, Eivor. But at least we can say the footprints we left were our own.

Eivor could talk to Bishop Deorlaf.

• Eivor: Bishop Deorlaf. Strange to see a man of God on the battle lines.
• Bishop Deorlaf: It may surprise you, but I was no stranger to horse and hunt in my younger days.
• Eivor: It is Saxons we might this day, Deorlaf. Not Britons, and not in Mercia.
• Bishop Deorlaf: It is Fulke I fight. A false Christian, preaching a corruption of God's word. If I can assist in her downfall, I will.
• Eivor: Then you are welcome here, friend.

Outcome

Eivor and her allies assaulted Portcestre and killed Fulke.

Trivia
