Revision as of 08:37, 8 April 2025 by imported>RShepard227(I was mistaken. I swore I got the stealth dialogue to restart after deliberating triggering a fight, but I couldn't reproduce the result.)
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. As they drew near the longhouse, they overheard the large thegn issuing orders.
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 after eavesdropping.
Eivor:Little do they dream how close we have come already.
Ubba:Farmers and tradesmen! This land is ours for the taking.
They burned two 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.
Eivor and Ubba continued to destroy the silos. They continued to hide while the guards began investigating the smoldering wrecks with greater urgency. Ubba complained again at the fourth silo's destruction.
Ubba:Hiding like field mice. It is not our way.
Eivor:We are not hiding like field mice. We are stalking like lynxes.
As the fifth silo went up in flames, 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 large thegn eventually reached Eivor and Ubba, attacking them.
Anglo-Saxon Soldier 1:Rats in the wheat fields? Not on my watch.
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.
