Oredigger77: Hey I’m up for what ever although Jorund may have some problems with Africa and its lack of fishing opportunities, especially after I lobbied so hard to have him learn the skill.
I think there may be more fish in Africa than you think.
Oredigger77: Heck if you want let’s go … go find El Dorado
Scene 27 - Top of an Aztec Pyramid - DAY
Priest “Who are those strangers below? Why are they wearing horns on their heads?”
Guard-captain “Don’t worry, my Lord. The guards will deal with them.”
Priest: "Just as well, considering we have in our treasure room:
The weight of a prize ox in pure gold
The weight of a fat men in both precious stones and worked jewellery
A wondrous device agreed by the our priests to be of legendary power and value
and much more besides"
(Sounds of battle)
Guard (urgently) “Excuse me, my Lord. I must … turn out the full garrison!”
(he sets off downwards)
Ulf “Oi! Jorund! Stop boozing and get over here - there’s a few more of them coming!”
(Sounds of battle, finishing with a Lightning Strike)
Bjarni “Err … we come in peace and thank you for your welcome.”
Not to mention all the good we could do by ending that horrible practice of sacrifice, sure we’d have to kill the entire culture but at least we would use small pox
To reiterate. Oh.Good.Lord.
/face palms.
We find a new and ancient society, and you fellows want to DESTROY it? You’re acting like Barbarians! We’re Vikings for goodness sake, man! Have some Dignity!
We should try to mingle first. Then Pillage.
Seriously! Who cares if the society is evil? (Though judging a society to be evil and intentionally obliterating it strikes me as a) arrogant and judgmental in general and b) waaaaaay too big an undertaking for five Vikings.) The point is to pillage it!
Hey, I’m going to be going out of town Friday after 12:30EST.
So could I let Glee/Ulf control my character for that period of time? Is that Cool?
Lemme know if you need anything.
He’s a packer, and if you guys go anywhere, he’s bound to over pack lots of useless little items that may or may not be useful. Be sure to include plenty of writing implements and paper, and whatever else you’d think a wizard would want to bring.
I’ll try to pack everything, but Jorund has already filled the boat with mead…
Let me see how my Osvald impersonation goes:
“Ooooh - that Kim was some sort of trickster and has now sneakily disappeared … must remember to bring something to lean on for writing my journal … perhaps Kim was a messenger from the Gods - but are they on our side or not? … interesting that both Kim and the Jarl AND the chap we’re supposed to get our Weregild weighed against are all fat - perhaps we should secretly put the chap on a diet … Oooooh - kettle’s boiling!”
As I said, it’s an honour to be trusted with another character. I shall not only keep him out of trouble as best I can, but make sure the kettle is always on (in case of unexpected visitors, you know! )
On a practical level, I make it that Osvald has left to cast today:
Yep.
And don’t forget to try to save your own skin at every chance. Oh and to toss out at least 3-5 ideas and questions at every person you meet along the journey.
I’m gonna be back on Sunday night then. You guys have fun!
