Description

Havi heard a dwarf in need of help.

Dialogue

Havi heard a dwarf in peril.

• Linco: I am fortune's fool! The one weapon that can fell a Muspel in a single blow, just out of my reach! If only a champion, a hero of great magnitude, would heed my call! And claim my weapon as their own!

Havi spoke to the dwarf.

• Havi: What ails you, little one?
• Linco: By the might of Ymir! You are Havi of Asgard, yes? I had heard you were afoot, but never expected to lay eyes upon you! It's my hammer! A mighty hammer, strong enough to tear a mountain in two. And by sheer accident, I tripped, and threw it out there. If you can retrieve it, then you may keep it, Havi.
• Havi: A weapon of such strength cannot be ignored. Very well. I shall get it.

Havi ventured past the lava surrounding and retrieved the hammer. Havi came back to Linco and spoke with him.

• Havi: It is done. A trivial matter for the High One.
• Linco: Yes, I can see the lava was no problem for you. But... Oh no! The hammer! It is damaged.
• Havi: Damaged!
• Linco: Yes, look closely... This crack in the shaft...

Havi turned around as Linco turned into his Jotun form.

• Linco: You have passed the trial, High One.
• Havi: Trial? What trial?

Linco punched and knocked Havi out. Time passed as Havi woke up in a prison cell in Feigardr.

• Havi: Ugh, my head... What the Hel...?

Havi looked over the cell and heard a fellow prisoner.

• Mikke: Oi. You. Come here, quick. Pssst! Hey! You there, Aesir! Don't draw attention, just get over here, before it's too late.

Havi spoke with his fellow prisoner.

• Mikke: Right, we've only got one shot at this, so listen, and listen good.
• Havi: What are you jabbering about? Who are you? What's happening?
• Mikke: Unless you want me to tell this Muspel who you really are, and while you're still helpless, I suggest you do as I tell you, and quickly!
• Havi: Helpless?! You dare to threaten me?! I'll throttle you through these bars!
• Muspel Warrior 1: Shut up or I'll shut you up!
• Mikke: There's no time to explain. I'll lure the guard, you grab his key. Get us out of here and I'll explain everything. Ready?
• Havi: What?

Mikke left and lured the Muspel guard.

• Mikke: Hey you! Yeah you! Come here! I got some information your chief is gonna want!
• Muspel Warrior 1: Go on then, enlighten me. What drivel will you spout this time?
• Mikke: Your mother spotted by last night, paid me a visit.
• Muspel Warrior 1: She died years ago, fool.
• Mikke: Yeah, well, uh...
• Muspel Warrior 1: You idiot...
• Mikke: Idiot, am I? Surtr's your overlord, yeah? Reckon he might want to find the High One of Asgard?
• Muspel Warrior 1: Hah! The shit that comes out of your mouth.
• Mikke: What if I told you that Havi is a lot closer than you think?
• Muspel Warrior 1: I'd tell you your execution is a lot closer than you think.
• Mikke: I know where Havi is right now. Just come in here and I'll whisper it in your ear.
• Muspel Warrior 1: The way you smell, I'm fine staying out here. You have something to say, then say it.
• Mikke: I'm serious. Me and Havi, we're old pals. Go back years, we do.
• Muspel Warrior 1: Every day. Every day I am forced to endure you and your horseshit. I honestly wish someone would put me out of my misery.
• Mikke: Heh. Be careful what you wish for.

Havi stole the key from the guard, who left Mikke alone. Havi fought and beat up the guard. Havi also found his armor and weapons and heard Mikke calling for him.

• Mikke: You'll get nowhere without me! Let me out! Hey! Don't just leave me here!

Havi unlocked Mikke's cell as Mikke escaped as well.

Havi may have not gotten their equipment before freeing Mikke.

• Mikke: Now then, get your things so we can leave. You'll catch a chill if you head out dressed like that. I mean, eventually. We haven't got time for funny-business. Grab your things, eh?

Havi spoke to Mikke, who was sitting on the floor.

• Havi: Get up. We're leaving.
• Mikke: Only if you promise to get me out. No matter what. I stay here, I'm dead.
• Havi: Tell me what's going on or I'll kill you myself.
• Mikke: The Muspels took me prisoner. Threw me in here. Now, on the other side of that opening is a hall full of lava. I can't get out, not on my own. But if you're in here with me... lava's not a problem for you. Not according to our mutual acquaintance.
• Havi: The Jotun shapeshifter? The one who tricked me, told me of a hammer that could split mountains?
• Mikke: Ah, that old chestnut! Look, you want the real hammer, pick me up, get me through the tunnel.
• Havi: Fine.

Havi picked up and carried Mikke. As he unlocked the door, Havi used the Hugr-Rip and activated the Power of Muspelheim to safely tread over the lava.

• Mikke: Yah! Ooh! Hot hot hot hot!
• Havi: Shut up, or I'll drop you into it.
• Mikke: Just, hurry up! Agh!

Havi carried Mikke outside to the waters, where a rowboat awaited in front of them. Havi placed Mikke on the ground.

• Havi: Come, High One. Time to go.

Havi may have left Mikke on his own afterwards.

Havi and Mikke walked onto the rowboat as Mikke began to row.

• Mikke: (deep breath) Smell that, High One? The sweet aroma of freedom. And we have you to thank for it.
• Havi: What was your crime?
• Mikke: Other than being a dwarf and fighting invaders?
• Havi: Fighting invaders?
• Mikke: I'm a blacksmith by trade... Just before the invasion of our lands began, I single-handledly armed an army. Bravest dwarves you ever saw. Clans dropping long-held grudges, joining to fight Muspels and the Jotnar. Anyway, all came to nothing in the end. I was locked up. Told they'd let me out if I made weapons for the Muspels... told them I'd sooner die. Now, about that hammer...
• Havi: I know. Nothing more than a tall tale. And not a bad one.
• Mikke: You did all this, knowing there was no mighty weapon? I see now why they call you the High One.

Mikke rowed him and Havi to a shore, where Linco awaited them.

• Linco: Haha! There he is! Safe at last, brother! I told you I would find someone who could help.
• Mikke: Never thought I'd be so happy to lay eyes on that big ugly face of yours. You did well, brother.
• Linco: Ugly! Hah! Have you looked in the mirror lately? Father should've dropped you from the cliffs the moment your tiny screwed-up face drew breath! It's good to see you.
• Havi: Well well, the Jotun who managed to fool me. And you're brothers?
• Linco: Aye, brothers from another mother. Our father was Travi, the famed dwarven explorer who travelled the Nine Realms.
• Mikke: Travi and my mother are dwarves. My half-brother here is half-dwarf, half-Jotun. We have a sister who is half dwarf, half Muspel.
• Linco: And another brother that is... well... half-bear, but that's another story.
• Havi: I see. Your father Travi was... very well-traveled.
• Mikke: He kept himself busy, that's for sure.
• Linco: You have our gratitude, High One. We shall drink to your honor for all time!
• Havi: Enjoy your freedom, and stay out of trouble, lads.

Havi left the brothers on their way.

Outcome

Havi saved a dwarf and reunited him with his half brother.
