Description

Eivor met with Basim at Briggworth to assault the garrison.

Dialogue

Eivor arrived at Briggworth to meet with Basim.

• Eivor: Briggworth. A forest of Saxon swords awaits within those walls of stone. I should consult with Basim. He will be nearby.

Eivor checked the bridge overlooking Briggworth and found and spoke with Basim, who was surrounded by dead soldiers.

• Eivor: What have you discovered?
• Basim: Briggworth swarms with guards, reinforced from the river. Word is that two of Fulke's finest oversee such matters.

• Eivor: We should kill these leaders and burn their ships. Crippled and put to panic, their men will be in no place to join Fulke at Portcestre.
• Basim: Frightened men look to their own interests. A good plan.

Together, Eivor and Basim infiltrated Briggworth and began their sabotage.

Dear Men of Wessex

In order to protect us Saxons from the onslaught of Dane longships, I have devised a plan to stockpile oil. Pouring oil from out bridge will send a fury of flame into thier souls forever.

We must meet Hel with Hell.

Fire and brimstone will save us all.

Signed,

Commander of the Briggworth Garrison
