Ljufvina:Still griping about the mess we made of Jorvik's council. But grateful for the help. To be honest, I think he's upset he didn't see the problem sooner. His pride is slow to heal.
Eivor:Thank you for heeding my call, friend. Sigurd will be grateful when he hears you have come.
Ljufvina:For your brother, I would upturn every rock in England.
Eivor approached the head of the longhouse where Guthrum was talking to a Norse soldier while Basim stood nearby.
Guthrum:You wouldn't be the first man to fall asleep on watch. But you would be the loudest.
Norse Warrior:I did not mean to fail you, Guthrum Jarl. It was only for a moment. I was so tired.
Guthrum:As are we all boy. We marched hard to get here.
The warrior looked at Guthram with relief in his eyes, when Guthrum grabbed him by the throat.
Guthrum:Still, let's not disappoint me again. You hear?
The man nodded in fear, choking.
Norse Warrior:My jarl! I'm...sorry...
Guthram pushed him back and the man walked away, shoulders slumped. Guthrum noticed Eivor.
Guthrum:You must be Eivor. I've heard much of you, young one. They say you're something. We'll see.
Eivor:Guthrum Jarl, Saxon-bane and reaver of the south. I'm honored to meet you at last.
Guthrum:Respect where it is due. I like that. Here's hoping you fight as smoothly as you talk.
Eivor:I am Eivor of the Raven Clan. I have carved a furrow through this teeming land, and the skalds sing loud of my deeds.
Guthrum:Those who boast have something to prove. The great have no need for it.
Eivor:Stay around a while and judge for yourself.
Guthrum:Oh I will. have no fear of that.
Basim approached.
Basim:Eivor hopes to rescue Sigurd from the madwoman Fulke, now ensconced in Portcestre fortress. If you wish to crown yourself King of Wessex, Portcestre must fall. An alliance here serves us both.
GuthrumYou promised a great army, but you couldn't breach a crone's garden with what you have assembled here.
Eivor:This is not the sum of my forces. Where are the rest?
Basim:Your allies are on their way. We must be patient.
Eivor:We cannot wait for them. We march as soon as we are able.
Guthrum:With these numbers? Are you keen to see Valhalla today?
Eivor:I will not sit on my heels while Sigurd rots in that she-dog's care!
Basim:We might muster for an attack in the woods east of Portcestre, but there are scouts between there and here.
Eivor:Scouts I can manage. Point me at them and I will blind Fulke's eyes.
Basim:One walks the road between Briggworth and Cicestre, another on the river bank north of Crawleah. A third keeps watch on the hills south of Croindene. But I warn you, these are all we know of. There may be more.
Eivor:A risk we must take. I will find the scouts.
Eivor turned back to Guthrum.
Eivor:You move the men into position near Portcestre.
Guthrum:That is a rash gamble, Raven-Feeder. If we are spotted, we will be vulnerable.
Eivor:If you want victory, come now or not at all. Every hour we waste could be Sigurd's last.
Eivor angrily walked away.
Guthrum:You had better be all they promised.
Eivor could hear a conversation as she left.
Erke:Eivor has brought many allies together from all over the land.
Stow:Like these two fine fellows! Brothir and Broder, was it?
Broder:Careful, Saxon. We're here for the killing, not to make friends.
Broder:That snake Fulke hides behind walls of stone. But Eivor will drag her out.
Brothir:Still got a soft spot for her, don't you, Brother?
Ljufvina:Him and Eivor? Ha! Lower your aim, friend, you'll have better luck.
Eivor made her way to the scout on top of the hill.
Eivor:They said there would be a scout on this hill.
Eivor began up the hill.
Eivor:I smell blood on the air. Death is close. Did someone find the scout before me?
Eivor reached the top of the hill and was attacked by a pack of wolves. After killing them, Eivor confirmed the scout was dead.
Eivor:Slain by wolves. My work has been done for me.
Next Eivor made her way to the second scout on the riverbank.
Eivor:A scout patrols the riverbank north of Crawleah.
Eivor found the scout.
Eivor:Fulke's scout. Right where Basim said he would be.
Eivor could here a soldier talking.
Anglo-Saxon Soldier:No sign of the Danes. Not sure what Fulke is worried about.
Upon killing the scout, Eivor found orders on the body.
Eivor:Orders from Fulke. I should show this to Basim, once I've dealt with the others.
Eivor made her way to the final scout near Cicestre.
Eivor:There, a scout.
Eivor killed the final scout.
Eivor:I have seen to the scouts. Basim and Guthrum will be waiting in the woods east of Portcestre.
Outcome
Eivor killed all enemy scouts and met with her allies east of Portcestre. They then defended themselves against an ambush, where Eivor defeated Fulke's Champion after he killed Brothir.
