ウルティマIV Quest of the Avatar 概要 ストーリー 特徴とシステム 評価点 問題点 総評 移植 ウルティマ 聖者への道 概要 変更点など 評価点(FC版) 問題点(FC版) 総評(FC版) 余談 ウルティマIV Quest of the Avatar 【うるてぃまふぉー くえすと おぶ ざ あばたーる】 ジャンル RPG 対応機種 原語版 AppleII、Commodore64、Amiga、Atari 8-bit、Atari ST、IBM PC日本語版 PC-8801MkIISR、FM-7、X1、PC-9801UV、MSX2、X68000、FM TOWNS 発売・開発元 原語版 Origin Systems 日本語版 ポニーキャニオン 発売日 【AppleII】1985年9月16日～ 判定 賛否両論 Ultimaシリーズ 概要 RPGの元祖の一つ、ウルティマシリーズの四作目。 自由度の高さと独創的なストーリーが話題を呼び、RPGの在り方に一石を投じた作品となった。 ストーリー 魔道士モンデイン、その弟子の魔女ミナクス、大災厄エクソダス…ソーサリアを立て続けに襲った三度の災厄は、異世界から召喚された勇者によってその都度退けられていた。しかし、エクソダスの放った最後の一撃によりソーサリア大陸は大幅に変貌。世界の在りようが大きく変化し、新たに「ブリタニア大陸」と名付けられた。ソーサリア時代から引き続きブリタニアを統治しているロード・ブリティッシュは、これまでに襲った災厄の原因が人々の心の中にある徳の欠如にあると考え、徳の実践者として人々を導く存在「アバタール(*1)」の降臨を願った。そして異世界から1人の若者がアバタールになることを期待されて召喚された。それがあなたである。 特徴とシステム ゲームの目的 本作の目標は、人々をよき方へ導く聖者「アバタール」になること。そのためには究極の知恵の写本「コデックス」が必要となるのだが、コデックスを手にする資格があるのは後述する8つの徳を全て究めた者のみ。本作は自由度が高めに作られているのだが、その中でプレイヤーは自分の行動を正しく律することを求められる。 8つの徳 プレイヤーは町の人々と会話したり、好ましいと思われる行為を行うことで「徳」が上がっていく。 徳は「誠実」「慈悲」「武勇」「正義」「献身」「名誉」「霊性」「謙譲」の8つで、目に見えないマスクデータとして管理されている。 例えば秘薬を購入する時に、店員から「私は目が見えないので、代金をカウンターに置いて行ってください」と言われ、任意の金額を支払う場面になる。代金をごまかすことも出来るが、そうすると「誠実」の徳が下がり、アバタールからは一歩遠のいてしまう。逆に代金をきっちり支払うと「誠実」の徳が上がる。 キャラクターメイクに関しても8つの徳が絡んでいる。 冒頭で行われる占い師との一問一答で決まるのだが、8つの質問全てが徳に絡んだものとなっており、8つの職業それぞれに司る徳が設定されている。そのことを理解していれば自分のやりたい職を選ぶことも可能。 職業が決まったと同時にスタート地点も決まる。たとえば職業が吟遊詩人であれば、慈悲の町ブリティンから始まることとなる。 また、8つの職業それぞれに仲間に加えられるNPC（アバタール・コンパニオン）が存在する。マイキャラと同じ職業のNPCは入れ替わる形で消滅するが、残りの7つの職業のキャラは対応する町を訪れて会話すると仲間に加えることができる。 冒険の舞台はフィールドとダンジョンの2つ。 フィールドでもターン制で、プレイヤーキャラクターが一歩動くごとに1ターンが進む。 本作でも食料の概念はあり、数ターンごとに食料がわずかずつ減っていく。仲間を加えると食料の減りも早くなる。 エンカウントはランダムではなくアイコンとの接触方式で、フィールド移動しているとモンスターがどこからともなく現れてプレイヤーめがけてターンごとに移動してくる。 ダンジョンはこれまで同様3Dタイプで、ダンジョン内のエンカウントもフィールド同様モンスターアイコンと接触することで行われる。 また、ダンジョン内には「玄室」があり、そこに入ると自動的に戦闘画面へと移行する。「スイッチを踏むと壁が開く」といった仕掛けがされていることもあって、パズル的な謎解き要素もある。 戦闘方法は『III』と同様のシステムで、トップビューからのターン制戦略バトル。 バトルフィールドから外に出ることで逃げることができるようになった。ただし、HPが多い状態で逃げると臆病者とのそしりを受け、「武勇」の徳が下がってしまう。 これには例外があり、属性が「悪」以外のモンスターからは逃げても徳は下がらない。また、迷宮内の玄室ではたとえ相手が悪のモンスターでも逃げ出しても徳は下がらない。 逆に、自分からA(Attack)キーで戦闘を仕掛けた場合は「悪」以外のモンスターを殺してしまうと「慈悲」「名誉」「正義」といった徳が下がってしまう。Aキーを使わず、モンスターから戦闘を仕掛けられた場合(いわば専守防衛)ならば、悪でないモンスターを殺してしまっても徳は下がらない。 また、エンカウントした地形によってバトルフィールドも変わる。例えば丘陵地帯で戦うと障害物が多いといった変化がある。 魔法を使うには八つの触媒を調合した「秘薬」をあらかじめ作成しておく必要がある。 触媒は全部で8つあるが、ショップにはそのうち6つまでしか売っていない。残りの2つ（ナイトシェードとマンドレイク）は会話をヒントに自分で採集する必要がある。 秘薬のレシピも最初は基本的なものしかわからないので、人々から教わる必要がある。 この秘薬システムは洗練された上で『ウルティマオンライン』にまで引き継がれている。 町中のすべてのキャラクターは、プレイヤーが打ち込んだキーワードに反応して様々な返事をするという斬新な会話システムを採用している。どちらかというとアドベンチャーゲームのようなシステムであり、当時としては非常に珍しかった。 会話中「どこそこの町の誰々に○○を聞け」などといったヒントが得られることがあり、○○を押さえていないと事態が展開しない。会話を進めることが（今でいう）イベントを進めることと同義で、一本道なストーリーイベントのようなものはほとんど存在しない。 会話の返答によっては、プレイヤーの徳が下がることもある。 もっともよくあるケースとしてNPCからの「はい/いいえ」で答える質問に対して両方の答えを返してしまうというもの。ドラクエなど普通のRPGでは「はい/いいえ」両方の反応を見るのはごく普通の行動だが、本作でそれをやると「誠実」の徳が激減してしまう。 評価点 ストーリー面 まず当時話題となったのがそのストーリー。本作にはいわゆる「倒すべきラスボス」が存在しない。それまでのRPGがほぼ全て「人々を苦しめている魔王を倒せ」という風なストーリーであったのに対し、本作はそこから一歩先の「魔王は倒れたがそれだけでは問題は解決しない。ではどうするか？」という「その後」を見据えていたのだ。 自由度の高さ 本作の魅力は自由度の高さにつきる。そもそもスタート地点からして職業によってばらばらであり、かつ必要なアイテムが見つかる順番も人によって違う。秘薬などのゲーム内の重要アイテムから、なくてもクリアできるアイテムまで、様々な町で様々なNPCが語る情報を整理して推測する必要があるため、情報を得るタイミングでその順番が前後することなど当たり前のようにある。 ゲームクリアは不可能になるが、好ましくない行動を選んで取ることも可能であり、そういう意味での懐の深さをもっている。後年この思想はウルティマオンラインにも引き継がれ、（今では不可能だが）当初設定されていた死体の解体を行ったりすることができる仕様につながっている。 ボリュームの大きさ 作者であるリチャード・ギャリオットは当時「答えを知っている人間がプレイしたとしてもクリアには一か月はかかる」とコメントしており、実際まともにプレイするとそのボリュームの大きさに圧倒される。 町のキャラクターたちの多様さ 町に存在するモブたちはほぼすべてのキャラクターに名前があり、多くの会話データを持っている。そこから窺うことのできる、彼らのもつ実に様々な背景がゲームに深い奥行きを与えている。 問題点 自由度の高さの裏返しともいえるが、ハードルは極端に高い。 キャラクターメイク直後にフィールドに放り出され、何をすればいいのか町の住人たちと会話を試みても全くわからない。当面の目標もわからずに途方に暮れるプレイヤーが多かった。 アイテムの効能やそれを探す目的が明確に語られないことも多い。例えば「マントラ」や「ルーン」はゲームクリアの上で非常に重要な要素だが、どちらも何に使うのかが明確ではない。「神殿というところで使うのだ」としか語られず、神殿にいったところで自分の何が変化したのか全く見えない。 会話で得られる情報に関しても具体的なヒントに乏しく、会話データも膨大な上に様々なイベントが並列で進むため、メモをとらずにゲームを進めると訳がわからなくなる。これにより途中脱落するプレイヤーが続出したと思われる。 操作性の悪さ 本作では文字入力で会話を進めるため、その際にキーボードを使うのは致し方ないが(*2)、それ以外の場面でもキーボードのA～Sまでにコマンドが割り振られており、ある程度これを暗記しないとゲームにならない。 レベルアップの不便さ レベルアップは前作同様、ブリタニアの城にいるロード・ブリティッシュに謁見することで行われる。 だが、職業によってはマップの広さが災いしてロード・ブリティッシュに会うまでに非常に時間がかかる。その場合、レベル1のまま長くゲームを続けることになり、そこで折れてしまう人も多い。 処理速度の遅さ ポニーキャニオンの移植レベルは決して低くはなかったが、8Bit機では移動に多大な時間がかかったり、町に入るたびにディスクの入れ替えが必要だったりと言った面倒さがあった。 ただし、後発の16Bit機やFC版などではそういった点は大幅に改善されている。 8bit機のフロッピーディスクは16bit機のものより容量が低い傾向が有り、本ゲームに限らず大規模なゲームについてはやむを得ないもの。本作に限らず「ディスク5枚組」などは当たり前であり、各メーカーの国産PCが群雄割拠していた当時のプレイヤーにとってはむしろ、自分の所有する安価な8bit機に新作ゲームが移植されるだけで大歓迎であった。ちなみに8bit機ではHDDは全く一般的ではなかったため、HDDにインストールして速度向上、と言った事は基本的にできない。 戦闘バランス 本作は基本的に「飛び道具ゲー」。敵との遭遇時に数歩ほどの距離が空いているため、大抵は近づかれる前に飛び道具を撃ちまくればケリがついてしまう。一方、遠距離から魔法や飛び道具を撃ってくる敵もいるので、近距離にしか攻撃できない武器では全く太刀打ちできない。 秘薬システムのせいで魔法を使いにくい。秘薬を消費するにもかかわらず攻撃魔法の威力が弱いこともあいまって、大半のプレイヤーはHP回復や解毒といった必要最低限の魔法しか使わなくなる。 材料の触媒を集め、調合し…と、秘薬の補給にもそこそこ長い時間がかかる。 地味で説教臭い内容 本作が日本でウケなかった最大の理由のひとつ。ハード性能の問題もあり演出は地味、ストーリーを盛り上げてくれるようなイベントもなく、ハクスラやキャラ育成を楽しめるようなゲームシステムでもない。プレイ中は各地を巡って情報とクリアに必要なアイテムを集め、それと並行してレベル上げと装備新調、徳を上げる作業を淡々と行い続ける…要するに「地味で爽快感が皆無」なのである。 総評 開始直後のハードルこそ高いが、そこさえ乗り越えてしまえば非常に奥の深いゲームである。哲学的にさえ見える3つの原理と8つの徳の関係に隠されたパズル的要素や、ラスボスが存在せずに究極の知恵の写本を見つけて持ち帰ることがゲームの最終目的であることなど、RPGとして作られたゲームでは非常に珍しいフォーマットで作られたゲームであった。 日本においてはゲームスタート直後の不親切さが災いして評価はあまり高くないが、海外での評価は非常に高く、タイム誌が選ぶ「歴史に残るゲーム100選」の1つにも選ばれており、後年のゲームに与えた影響も大きい。 そして当のウルティマ自身も、これ以降は単純な勧善懲悪ではないストーリー展開を進めていくことになる。 移植 移植についてはポニーキャニオンが力を入れており、PC版やFC版などを担当している。 ポニーキャニオンはフジサンケイグループの一つであり、日本語版発売と同時期に行っていた「コミュニケーションカーニバル 夢工場 87」というイベントにおいて、各機種での試遊台が設置されていた。 X68000版では当時比較的強力だった内蔵音源を利用し、BGMに高度なアレンジがなされていた。 ウルティマ 聖者への道 【うるてぃま せいじゃへのみち】 ジャンル RPG 対応機種 ファミリーコンピュータ メディア 2Mbit+64kRAMROMカートリッジ 発売元 ポニーキャニオン 開発元 インフィニティー 発売日 1989年9月20日 定価 5,900円（税別） 判定 なし 概要 『ウルティマIV』のFC移植版。『聖者への道』というサブタイトルがつけられている。 システムの簡略化などアレンジが加わっているものの、前作『ウルティマ 恐怖のエクソダス』で不評だった独自のメタフィクション要素は一切なくなり、原作の雰囲気を尊重した丁寧な移植となっている。 変更点など PC版に存在した「食料」「馬」は削除。 PC版ではフィールド探索時はシンボルエンカウント制だったが、FC版ではランダムエンカウント制になっている。しかし、この変更点がバランス悪化につながってしまっている(後述)。 宝箱の罠の廃止。当然それに応じて罠を外す魔法も廃止されている。 よって、宝箱を開ける際に開けるメンバーを選ぶのは全く無意味なのだが、何故かこれはそのままになっている。 幼年層に配慮し、難しい言い回しが平易なものに改まっている（例…「慈悲」→「やさしさ」、「謙譲」→「けんきょさ」など）。 アバタール・コンパニオンの一人、鍛冶屋のジュリアが男性に性別変更。名前も「ジュリアス」に変わっている。 魔法使いも説明書内のイラストでは男性の老人に変わっているが、ゲーム内では女性のままである。 秘薬調合の廃止。魔法は触媒（とMP）を直接消費するようになった。 PC版では8人パーティーを組めたのだが、FC版では4人まで。あぶれたキャラはロード・ブリティッシュ城に滞在しており、そこでメンバーを入れ替えられるようになっている。 PC版では質問の答えさえ知ってしまえば徳を上げる作業が必要なかったが(*3)、FC版ではきちんと8つの徳全てを究めないとクリアできない。 BGMは全曲ファミコン独自のものに差し替え。 評価点(FC版) 前作『III』のFC版移植よりもグラフィックが向上し、PC版と比べても見やすくわかりやすいものになっている。ロード時間も皆無。 前作の移植では不評だった原作の難解なシステムはばっさり切り捨てられ、プレイしやすいシステムになっている。 サウンドはPC版とは全く違うが、一定の評価を受けている。 問題点(FC版) ゲームバランスはPC版よりも若干悪化している。前述のランダムエンカウント制への変更が原因。 まず、お金を稼ぐのがPC版よりもつらくなっている。PC版では「ダンジョン内の玄室でのエンカウントは一歩外にでると即座に復活する」という仕様があったのだがこれが廃止され、PC版のお金稼ぎのテクニックである「敵と複数の宝箱が同時に出現する玄室を何度も訪れて戦闘を繰り返す」ことができなくなってしまった。にもかかわらず物価と宝箱に入っているお金はPC版から据え置き。 また、「連戦したいのになかなか敵に会えない」「戦いたくないのに敵と遭遇する」という問題も発生してしまっている。 特に「戦いたくないのに敵と遭遇する」ことに関しては、普通に逃げると「ゆうかんさ（武勇）」の徳が下がってしまうので早々逃げられないという問題もある。ブリンクの魔法を使えば徳を下げずに逃げられるが、代わりに触媒を消費する。 総評(FC版) バランス面で悪化した点もあるが、総じて遊びやすく改良された良移植。 余談 この作品以降、ウルティマのナンバリングタイトルはすべて「ブリタニア」という国が舞台となり、町などの位置関係がほぼそのまま用いられている。また、オンラインRPGの元祖である『ウルティマオンライン』でも同じマップデザインが使用されている。 『I』～『III』のセールスとそのパッケージイラストが元で、「リチャード・ギャリオットは悪魔的だ」などといった非難が浴びせられることがあった。ラスボスを設定せず、「徳」の概念を導入しようと決めたのはそういったことも関係していると言われている。 シナリオで参加したロー・アダムスIII世は『ウィザードリィIV』の制作にも関わっている。『ウルティマIV』『ウィザードリィIV』の両者に「ホークウィンド」というキャラクターがいるが、これがロー・アダムス自身を投影したキャラとなっており、前者では徳の状態を教えてくれる占い師として、後者では戦闘における最終ボス（といっても半ばイベント戦闘だが）として登場する。 海外ではセガ・マスターシステムに移植されている。制作はセガ・オブ・アメリカだが、発売された地域はヨーロッパ・カナダ・ブラジルであり、アメリカ本国では発売されなかった。 なお、FM音源にも対応しており、開発当初は日本でも発売予定があったことがうかがえるものの結局発売はされなかった。 PC版でのキャラクターメイク中に、マニュアルを読むように指示される場面がある。読まずにエンターを押し続けると「ちゃんと読め」という意味のことを言われるのだが、実際にちゃんと読んでからエンターを押してもやはり「ちゃんと読め」と言われたりしてしまう。どうしろと。 映画監督であり、ゲーマーでもある押井守は発売当時PC-9801UV版『ウルティマIV』をクリアし、証拠写真まで撮ったものの「ちょっと恥ずかしくて」発売元には送らなかった。そのため終了認定証をもらいそこねたというエピソードがある。

Reclaiming my throne will be no simple matter. The lords of our realm have all sworn oaths of homage to {s11}.

But first, you must give me your oath of homage and accept me as your liege {reg65?lady lord}. dlga_pretender_rebellion_ready lord_give_oath_2|I am ready to pledge myself to your cause, {reg3?my lady my lord}. dlga_pretender_rebellion_ready pretender_end|Let us bide our time a little longer. dlga_lord_give_conclude_2 close_window|Forward, then!

That's not important. dlga_gartnait_historia gartnait_talk1|What? -- His eyes widen. -- As you know, they are ritual paintings, {playername}. dlga_gartnait_talk1 gartnait_historia1|I'd like to know why they painted their bodies and how I can get the same. dlga_gartnait_talk1 lord_pretalk|Thanks. dlga_gartnait_historia1 gartnait_historia2|Among my people there are Goidels and Picts. They retain very few of their ancient traditions. We are Christians, but -- he whispers -- many customs of our ancestors still exist among our people. Young warriors are expected to paint their bodies and join the fray of battle and war before they are accepted in their homes as full-grown men. Women have the right to choose wives for their brothers, and children inherit through their mothers' lineage.^^Painting our bodies and joining warrior brotherhoods is part of a tradition in which young people must pass some tests in order to reach maturity. Some tests still involve venturing into distant lands in search of cattle and treasures, then to come home with enough wealth to start a family. dlga_gartnait_historia2 gartnait_historia3|When the young people return, the war paint is removed from their bodies, and they marry and integrate into regular society. There are not a few Pictish women who decide to paint their bodies to participate in this test of initiation.^^-- He smiles. -- It's up to you whether to paint your body or not. If you do, you devote yourself to a very old tradition and to powers that are beyond our understanding. Form or join a group of young people. Make a name for yourselves. Learn the camaraderie, friendship, and pride of being a Pict. Learn to command and obey. Gain the respect of your peers. Meet several {reg59?men women}... When you've proven your worth, remove the war paint and return to society. dlga_gartnait_historia3 gartnait_historia4|I want to paint my body. dlga_gartnait_historia3 lord_pretalk|Stop. Your story is prattle. You are a bunch of idiots. dlga_gartnait_historia3 lord_pretalk.1|Thanks for the information. dlga_gartnait_historia4 gartnait_historia5|Well, it's not ancient times any more. There are no longer strict rules or rituals. To tell you the truth, I actually feel that I am more Gael than Pict. Remove your garments and let my servant trace the lines on your body. Good luck, young {reg59?lady man}, with your rite of passage! dlga_gartnait_historia5 lord_pretalk|Thank you, Toiseach. dlga_lord_talk eormenred_historia|I heard that you know Pictland. dlga_eormenred_historia lord_pretalk|I am sorry, but I hardly know you. I do not feel comfortable sharing my knowledge right now. God the mid sie. dlga_eormenred_historia eormenred_talk1|What? --His eyes widen.-- Yes, but... do you plan to travel north into Alban? You should not go, {playername}. I was there when I was young and had a fine band of warriors by my side, my beadupreat. Would you care to hear my story? dlga_eormenred_talk1 eormenred_historia1|Sure. I am interested. dlga_eormenred_talk1 lord_pretalk|No thanks. I have other matters to attend to. dlga_eormenred_historia1 eormenred_historia2|Picts are strange, weird people. --He whispers.-- Some young warriors paint their bodies and become dangerous bandits. Pictish villages are dirty and hidden between the high peaks and dense forests that cover their land. I remember that from several years ago, when I took a war band of young warriors there to plunder and pillage. dlga_eormenred_historia2 eormenred_historia3|After days of travel, we spotted a village spread about a strange construction. Today, I know it was a Broch, a fortress erected by the ancients. The Picts found the ruins, repaired them, and built their homes under its protection. We felt a sudden surge of happiness. There was booty, cattle and women. -- He smiles. -- The doors and gates were wide open. They were not expecting us, we all thought. We started howling like wolves, excited by the prospect of battle.

This island is populated by numerous clans, but each feels entitled to rule over others. The social system is a pyramid -- the weaker subject to the stronger, but all led by the high king, the Ard Ruire. However, the elements of this system constantly mutate, and clan alliances break according to changing interests. In sum, it is very difficult to rule this land. dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan7 maelbresail_aftermorrigan8|I believe Aed mac Niall is a good leader, as he favors my interests, and therefore yours. However, Flaithbertach was a man beloved by the Ui-Neill, and his death caused much discomfort. His children could easily have taken up arms with many northern clans. As an internal war within the Kingdom of Aileach would only favor our rivals, the Southern Ui Neill, in their desire to secure once again the throne at Tara. Ard Ruire Aed is strong leader, uniquely able to keep the Vikings at bay. Do you understand? dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan8 maelbresail_aftermorrigan9_1|There is no need to justify our actions to me. dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan8 maelbresail_aftermorrigan9_2|I hate politics. dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan8 maelbresail_aftermorrigan10|Sure. dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan9_1 maelbresail_aftermorrigan10|Justify?

If I had directly attacked Flaithbertach's children, they would have become martyrs, and certain northern clans could have taken up arms under that pretext. You, however, were not among my people, so nobody can associate me. You and the abbot of Finian just killing with some other malefactors. We have not seen one another many times. Now it is your name that is famous for killing the children of Flaithbertach. dlga_maelbresail_aftermorrigan11 maelbresail_aftermorrigan12|So you refuse me?

They control the kingdom through a puppet king. There are small uprisings of Angles, but these are localized and severely repressed. Nothing serious. The latest news we have is that the sons of Ragnar have moved south and taken a place, known as Snotingaham, in Mierce. The king of Mierce has not taken this well. He has besieged them there with his army, supported by the king of West Seaxe. We fear that the Ragnarssons may be in a hard place, so our mission is to go to Jorvik and join the forces that are gathering under Rathbarth, another of the sons of Ragnar, in support of his brothers. From there we will move south to meet the Angles and Saxons. With a little luck, we will kill their kings and the road south will be opened for plunder. You will come back rich to your wife and kids this year. dlga_harald_meeting4 harald_meeting4_1|I hope so.

How many men do Mierce and West Seaxe have? dlga_harald_meeting4_2 harald_meeting5_3|Sounds like a good plan, Harald. My men will go in the front! dlga_harald_meeting4_2 harald_meeting5|I agree. dlga_harald_meeting5_2 harald_meeting5|That is hard to say. The information we have comes from merchants and travelers. They speak of thousands of men. It hardly matters, though. The Angles and the Saxons are weak people, fully domesticated by their kings. It will be like attacking housewives. dlga_harald_meeting5_3 harald_meeting5_4|{s2}^^Well, well. We have here an authentic toady. It seems there is always someone who is willing to stoop to any depth to gain favor with the boss. dlga_harald_meeting5_4 harald_meeting5|I cannot stand sycophants, {playername}. Now let's move on to the serious stuff. dlga_harald_meeting5 harald_meeting6|{s2}^^Although everything is clear and our goal is near, it seems that problems with Sven Bull Neck don't stop cropping up. This captain, Oleif, is now with us, and he has very serious news. Go ahead, Oleif. dlga_harald_meeting6 harald_meeting7|{s2}^^I will not beat around the bush. Sven Bull Neck is unwilling to share command with Harald Haraldsson. At first opportunity, he will kill Harald and take the command. It may occur as we land, though I cannot be sure. Maybe my desertion of his party will change his mind. dlga_harald_meeting7 harald_meeting8|I am making a guard rotation during the trip. When we land, I will challenge Sven to a duel to the death. Sven Bull Neck is a lunatic, but he's a dangerous lunatic. dlga_harald_meeting8 harald_meeting8_1|Sounds good. You have my full support, even if you decide to attack his boat while he is still unprepared. dlga_harald_meeting8_1 harald_meeting9|You have my support too, Harald.

What about my mother? dlga_harald_meeting9 harald_meeting11.1|You have my support, but I'd like to ask about my mother. dlga_harald_meeting9 harald_meeting10_3|I think Sven Bull Neck would make a better commander of this fleet than you. dlga_harald_meeting10_3 harald_meeting11|I see. May you be a slave to Sven Bull Neck like your mother. I despise you, {playername}, and you give me shame, but the Assembly forced us to work together. I will tell you as you have not heard. dlga_harald_meeting11 harald_meeting12|A woman travels with Sven Bull Neck. She is his seidr, one who accepts the spirit of the crow and speaks the words of Odin. Everybody reveres her, as she is a woman touched by the gods. Sven Bull Neck has married her in hopes of having a child touched by the gods, but she is old and her belly is dry. If she's your mother, I do not think she remembers you, as she has a curse that does not allow her to keep memories overnight. dlga_harald_meeting12 harald_meeting13|It looks like your mother now serves Sven Bull Neck.

Thanks to God, I am the best commander in Europe. My name has been long known and famous in all of Englaland, dog. I am a champion of West Seaxe. I have single-handedly killed twenty men in the chaos of war, and I have won over twenty battles since I started leading shield walls. dlga_cundwalh_historial cundwalh_talk1|I've never, ever, suffered a defeat. You wish to learn from me, right? Then be good and listen to my words carefully tonight, or I will send one of my men to cut your throat with his seax. dlga_cundwalh_talk1 cundwalh_historia1|Yes, I'm interested. dlga_cundwalh_talk1 lord_pretalk|No thanks. I have other matters to attend to. dlga_cundwalh_historia1 cundwalh_historia2|I have good men, my beadupreat. They are ugly, stupid and cowardly, but they obey orders well. The first thing you need is men that obey orders without thinking too much. dlga_cundwalh_historia2 cundwalh_historia21|Then, you must teach them to advance in column. When they march this way, you travel the countryside without losing anybody. In battle, you must teach them to form ranks (by pressing F4 and F4) or squares (by pressing F4 and F7). It is easy to implement formations if you have a handy stick to beat the clumsy animal who may be unable to fit in properly. dlga_cundwalh_historia21 cundwalh_historia3|It is important that you know how to motivate your troops in battle. You can shout your barbaric war cry or bang your shields (by pressing the key T for your trait), which will undoubtedly scare away enemies surrounding you. You can always order your men to break the current formation (by pressing F4 and F8) so that they can properly charge into the enemy's lines. dlga_cundwalh_historia3 cundwalh_historia4|Mm, I see. Please continue. dlga_cundwalh_historia3 lord_pretalk|Stop. I don't need to hear more. Wes gesund. dlga_cundwalh_historia4 cundwalh_historia41|Anyway, in my opinion ranks are crap better left to the dirty Welsh. If you really want to win a battle, pay attention! You must use Scildweall (by pressing F4 and F5) with your men. We learned this tactic from the Romans, and a shield wall is a very cohesive tactic for our land. This formation is great, a true battle winner, and you should learn it well, dog. Scildweall will allow you to win your battles, fighting shoulder to shoulder with your men. You need to train it until you have sore knees and hands calloused by the use of the spear and shield. Get off your horse if you have one, and join your men, leading by example. When the enemy is broken and is fleeing, call your horse if it is still alive (by pressing the H key), mount it and charge the cowards, killing as many as you can to instill fear in your future enemies. You can also try to use the Wecg formation (by pressing F4 and F6) which will bring your men into forming a wedge shaped fighting body. dlga_cundwalh_historia41 cundwalh_historia5|Hear me. This formation is difficult to master, so you should use it only with veteran troops. It is designed to break an enemy's Scildweall, but when you use it, you must know that you are playing for all or nothing. It is a risky bet, for, if you fail, your enemies will earn your flank and kill your men as if they were nothing more than dry grass. My personal advice is to use Scildweall against Scildweall, always. No need to take risks, I say. That is all, dog. Learn soon, and quickly, because if one day we are in the battlefield as enemies, I will kill you. Wes gesund. dlga_cundwalh_historia5 lord_pretalk|Thank you, Lord. I have learned so much. dlga_cundwalh_historia5 lord_pretalk.1|Bah, someday I'll kill you. Farewell. dlga_lord_start lord_generic_mission_completed.1|Hah!

Here, half a job gets you half a reward. Take it and begone. dlga_lord_start lord_follow_spy_half_completed.1|I asked you for two prisoners, {playername}, not one. Two. Still, I suppose you did capture the spy's handler, the more important one of the pair. The spy will not dare return here and will prove quite useless to whatever master he served.

However, you'll understand if I pay you half the promised reward for what is but half a success. dlga_lord_start lord_follow_spy_failed|Truly, {playername}, you are nothing short of totally incompetent.

However, if I do not speak now, the danger is worse and could be terrible.^^The attack on the Woden Ric was no random act of piracy. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge67 kinghorik_quest_revenge68_1|My name is Bodo Vimaraniz from Malacoria, in Cantabria. I come from King Aldefonso of Asturias. I was sent north with a present for Aethelred, king of West Seaxe. This present and I are the reason Sven Bull Neck attacked the Woden Ric. Sigurd Ragnarsson wants this present for himself, because he wants to be the king of Danmark while his brothers are kings in Englaland. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge68_1 kinghorik_quest_revenge68|I know that Sigurd wants to be king. How could a gift give him my throne? dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge68 kinghorik_quest_revenge69|The Ragnarssons are powerful men, with lands in many places, like Danmark, Sweoland and now Northhymbre. Right now, it seems that their efforts are against Englaland, and they are, but this means ensuring that Danmark provide easy access to resources and warriors. If Sigurd is king here, he will guarantee all that. Moreover, now he can unite the Danish, for the gift I was carrying was the sword of Ragnar Lodbrok. His sons, Bjorn Ironside and Haesten, lost it when a Muslim fleet defeated them south of Al-Andalus. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge69 kinghorik_quest_revenge7|How did you get the sword from the Muslims? dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge69 kinghorik_quest_revenge7.1|Bodo, I'm impressed.

What are you not telling me? dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge69 kinghorik_quest_revenge71|(Say nothing) dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge7 kinghorik_quest_revenge71|It was a gift to my king made by the emir of Al-Andalus in exchange for valuable prisoners. Aethelred, king of West Seaxe, was very interested in this sword, and my king Aldefonso got it for him. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge7 kinghorik_quest_revenge71.1|I have been before in the north, but this is not important now. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge71 kinghorik_quest_revenge72|Ragnar was more than a man. The skalds revere him as god, and the men feed their souls with his legend. Sigurd could carry the sword to the Assembly and claim the merit of recovering it. He might demand to be king and even kill me, and everyone might just forgive him for having recovered his father's sword. Ragnar's sword must be destroyed before anyone knows it exists. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge72 kinghorik_quest_revenge73|Then maybe we can make a deal sword for support. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge72 kinghorik_quest_revenge732|(Brunhild seems to want to say something.

I want your protection and support when I need it. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge74 kinghorik_quest_revenge8|Yes, this is what we do. That sword cannot come to light, but we need to be cautious. Sigurd Ragnarsson is a shrewd man, and he won't attack openly. Go see him for the issues you mentioned to me and try to get the sword. I do not care if you steal it, buy it, or promise eternal loyalty, so long as he leaves it in your hands. What I want is that you bring me this sword to destroy. In return, when you bring the sword, you'll have my protection while in Danmark, and so I will proclaim, and Sigurd Ragnarsson will not dare to go against you. Now I must go. I've been too long with you, and I have other matters to attend to. Good luck and farewell. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge732 kinghorik_quest_revenge75|My king, it was I who told my companions to come to see you before we talk to Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye.'

Good luck and farewell. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge8 kinghorik_quest_revenge81|{s2}^^{playername}, I have lied to the king. Well, it's not totally a lie. Everything is true except the existence of the sword. I know that the Danish give much importance to everything that has to do with Ragnar, and I used that. It was a risk, but we needed the king on our side. I hope you understand. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge81 kinghorik_quest_revenge82|The sword was important for getting the king's support. Thank you. Now, tell me the truth. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge81 kinghorik_quest_revenge84|No, Bodo! I don't know your game, but do not lie in the future.

(Justice) dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge82 kinghorik_quest_revenge84|I disagree. How can we now justify to the king that there is no sword? Lying only brings problems. Everyone knows that. At least, everyone ought to know that. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge84 kinghorik_quest_revenge85|{s2}^^I am an honorable man. Honor is my law, but I owe allegiance to my king and to the mission that he entrusted to me. It took years of visiting this foreign land since the Rex Ordonio, father of current king of Asturias, sent me. This is hard to understand, but Asturias is a small kingdom, where every man must fight as a warrior or die at the hands of our enemies. We fight every year against the power of Al-Andalus. It is a constant front, and we thought our backs were safe until the Vikings arrived. Old King Ordonio, and now his son, King Aldefonso, want an alliance with Frankia and West Seaxe to protect ourselves from the Vikings and make the seas safer. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge85 kinghorik_quest_revenge86|I carried a letter sealed by my king himself for the king of West Seaxe. It is a letter of alliance that had to be sent in secret, lest it be intercepted. And I failed. The letter is now in the hands of Sigurd Ragnarsson, one of the men who tried to protect us. Do you understand the pity of it? Not so long ago his brothers, Bjorn Ironside and Halfdan, attacked Gallaecia, the western part of the Kingdom of Asturias. dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge86 kinghorik_quest_revenge87|{playername}, Bodo isn't well, and we shouldn't lose more time here.

If you believed he would do such a thing, then you're dumber than I thought. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot1 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot3|My king, as you've asked me, I've been your eyes and ears. I know all the important information, because in {playername}'s camp there are no secrets. As you already know, {playername} is the one who broke Sigurd's plans to put a puppet on the throne of Friese. It was more likely an accident than a deliberate act, as {playername} is looking for Sven Bull Neck, Sigurd's first man, for revenge, because Sven has imprisoned {playername}'s mother. When {playername} talked to Sigurd, they agreed that, in exchange for Bodo the Cantabrian, Sigurd would deliver up Sven and {playername}'s mother at Ulf's farm. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot3 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot4|Yes, it is more or less what I expected. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot3 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot4.1|{s2}^^Yes, I heard that Sigurd holds Bodo prisoner.

You know that my time and my patience are limited. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot5 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot6|There is a problem. Sigurd sent Olvir White Hair to kill {playername}. Olvir has died, but not before declaring that Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' would take his case to the Assembly. I'm sure Ulf will be one witness in his favor.

There's a man in the court of Asturias willing to do anything to finish off their king, Aldefonso. Can you believe it? Although that kingdom is so far away, they have the same problems that we do! I knew all about this long before you came to see me for the first time, although I pretended to know nothing. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot8 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot81|I do not like anybody playing with me, even a king. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot8 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot81.1|You laughed at us when we first spoke. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot8 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot9|I see.

I needed to see what Sigurd was willing to risk. Clearly, the stakes are high, and Sigurd is very interested in killing you. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot9 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot10|{s2}^^Sigurd wants my kingdom. He has gathered an army with the excuse of going to help his brothers in Englaland, but I fear he could use these men to take my throne if he gets favor in the Assembly. Now he has two options to play for such favor first, Bodo's letter from the Kingdom of Asturias and second, Olvir White Hair's death. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot10 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot11|Our fates are crossed, {playername}. The soothsayers told me about you before you came. They said that a {reg59?woman man} whose luck is greater than that of Sigurd would come, a {reg59?woman man} who will save my throne.

Listen now. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot112 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot12|I see that you are so dense that you need every bit of luck the gods have compensated you with. Now listen closely. You need to go to the Assembly, where you cannot go without my patronage. There will be Sven Bull Neck, the man who wants to accuse you of the death of his brother. If you aren't at the Assembly, you won't be able to defend yourself, so you will lose. Then the Assembly will banish you and put you outside the protection of the law. Any and every Dane is free to kill or otherwise mistreat such an outlaw, so, to the contrary, you very much need me if you wish to get your mother back and kill Sven. Now, listen to me. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot113 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot12|Sounds good, and it's just. While our interests run together, we will be allies. Then, you'll be leaving Danmark. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot12 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot13|{s2}^^There is a man named Guthrum, who is a faithful man respected in Danmark. I will ask him to lead Sigurd's Vikings to provide support for the invasion of Englaland by the sons of Ragnar. However, my proposal will not succeed if Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' presents Bodo's letter in the Assembly or if he can associate me with the death of Olvir White Hair. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot13 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot14|Unfortunately, the letter has been hidden. My contacts say that Sigurd gave it to Atli Eiriksson, his second man after Sven Bull Neck. Atli sailed from Ribe some time ago, and no one knows his fate.

You may take 15,000 peningas. I hope it's enough to pay the port master and for other possible expenses. dlga_kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot16 kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot17|Also, if you want to keep your head on your neck, I would suggest you talk to Ulf and convince him not to testify against you at the Assembly.

I suspect they have some ploy to launch. Sigurd Ragnarsson has complained of 800 men who cannot board because I will not let him lead them. That much is true, because I proposed that Guthrum lead them. The problem is that Guthrum some days ago suffered the misfortune to have been killed on his farm. They accuse outlaws and criminals of burning down his house whilst he was hosting a feast inside. I think that it was Sven Bull Neck, the prow man of Sigurd's hird, who did it, but I have no evidence or witnesses. Everything and everyone was burned with the house. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething4 kinghorik_quest_thething5|Everything taken together, the situation is quite serious.

When I was little more than a child, I was with Ragnar when he sacked Frankia with 120 ships and more than 4,000 men, an adventure that the skalds still relate.

Olvir White Hair came there with several men to try to kill me. As I always take strong issue with such a project, it was Olvir who died. I ask you, why did Sven send Olvir if he is the one who wants to get rid of me? I think it's because he fears me.

Olvir died a good death, but he was the one who caused the melee. {playername} isn't guilty of murder. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething11 kinghorik_quest_thething11_1|Unfortunately for you, I can show that you are a liar. Olvir did not die a good death, for the murderer has Olvir's sword. {reg59?She He} did not let my brother hold the sword in his last moments, denying him Walhalla. Egil is a liar, and his testimony is not valid. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething11 kinghorik_quest_thething12|{s2}^^We have heard from a witness. Thank you, Egil. Sven Bull Neck, do you have any witnesses? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething11_1 kinghorik_quest_thething12|{s2}^^Egil has lied. Therefore, his testimony is not valid. Sven Bull Neck, do you have any witnesses? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething12 kinghorik_quest_thething13|I had an important witness, Ulf Thorirsson, but he has not come to the Assembly.

What are your opinions? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething13_5 kinghorik_quest_thething14|{s2}^^Invoking the wisdom of Odin, we are ready to give a verdict. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14 kinghorik_quest_thething14_1|I, Sigurd, son of Ragnar Lodbrok, ask permission to speak, because this case is nothing more than a branch of a big tree, and a branch may hide the real problem. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_1 kinghorik_quest_thething14_2|Speak then, Jarl Sigurd, son of Ragnar, whose memory we all cherish, and who awaits us among the hosts of the gods, preparing for Ragnarok. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_2 kinghorik_quest_thething14_3|{s2}^^When my father was alive, this assembly of free men would not have had much consideration for a bandit who had killed a good man like Olvir White Hair. However, times change -- rather, some men have caused that change. Now this Thing, this Assembly, is but a toy in the hands of a king. That {reg59?woman man}, {playername} is only a pawn of larger forces. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_3 kinghorik_quest_thething14_4|{s2}^^My king, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' is not here to deal with {playername}; he wants you. He wants the throne, as we feared. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_4 kinghorik_quest_thething14_5|{s2}^^Father, we should cut short Sigurd's speech. {playername} must admit {reg59?her his} guilt and be punished by the Assembly! {reg59?She He} must be sacrificed to end this ploy now, or you may lose your throne. Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' is a shrewd man. He would not openly attack you in the Assembly if he did not have the upper hand. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_5 kinghorik_quest_thething14_6|Egil, damn traitor, I will not admit any guilt. I'm innocent. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_5 kinghorik_quest_thething14_6.1|If this is what you need to do, I will say I am guilty to save the king. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething14_6 kinghorik_quest_thething15|Let's remain calm here. We must not do anything that would cost us the respect of the Assembly. The balance of power is very delicate, and here the jarls are very important. We need to see what Sigurd has against us. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething15 kinghorik_quest_thething15_1|{s2}^^Sven had a witness, Ulf Thorirsson, who would have agreed that Olvir was murdered, but King Horik sent {playername} to Ulf's farm to silence him. I had another man, Atli Eiriksson, who was very faithful and dear to me. I entrusted him with the mission of protecting important evidence for this Assembly, but King Horik sent {playername} to kill him.^^{s3} dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething15_1 kinghorik_quest_thething15_2|{s2}^^Sigurd Ragnarsson, you talk a lot, insult and offend my honor, but you lack evidence or witnesses.

Eight hundred Vikings are ready to embark for Englaland in aid of my brothers. We could have been talking about more than 1200 men, for the jarl of Kennemer promised me more than 400, but King Horik sent {playername} to Friese to sabotage this treaty.

Do you have any evidence or witnesses who can confirm what you say? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething15_8 kinghorik_quest_thething16|Yes, there is a man who has traveled with {playername} all that time, who is among us right now, willing to testify at this Assembly. His name is Reginhard, and he is a servant of the jarl of Kennemer. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16 kinghorik_quest_thething16_2|Reginhard, approach. Do you confirm that the words of Sigurd Ragnarsson are true? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_2 kinghorik_quest_thething16_3|{s2}^^I... well... yes, right. I met {playername} in Friese when {reg59?she he} tried to gain the trust of the jarl of Kennemer by killing Thiaderd, a person that I loved. Then, {reg59?she he} betrayed the jarl of Kennemer and came to Danmark, where {reg59?she he} has pursued Sven Bull Neck and Sigurd Ragnarsson, as {reg59?she he} hates them as enemies. So Olvir and Atli were killed, and {reg59?she he} allied with King Horik. I swear it is the truth. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_3 kinghorik_quest_thething16_4|{s2}^^Reginhard? Why? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_4 kinghorik_quest_thething16_5|{s2}^^{playername} is a murderer. Thiaderd was like a brother to me, and {playername} killed him and all his family! Even his son! I promised that one day I would avenge Thiaderd, and that day has come. I just want to be happy, have a farm, wife, and children, but {playername} brings only misfortune wherever {reg59?she he} goes. I need to feel protected, and Sigurd has promised me everything that I wish for. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_4 kinghorik_quest_thething16_5.1|{s2}^^My quarrel is not with you, Egil. Thiaderd was like a brother to me, and {playername} lied to me in order to take him and kill him. I won {playername}'s trust and promised that one day I would avenge Thiaderd's death, and that day has come. I just want to be happy, have a farm, wife, and children, but {playername} brings only misfortune wherever {reg59?she he} goes. I need to feel protected, and Sigurd has promised me everything that I wish for. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_5 kinghorik_quest_thething17_1|Reginhard, you know me. You know how I treat traitors. We will meet again. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething16_5 kinghorik_quest_thething18|As you said once, 'Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel!' Fate always goes as she must. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething17_1 kinghorik_quest_thething18|I do not think so. We will never see one another again. I'll have my farm, my wife and the protection of a jarl. You'll be dead or an outlaw. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething18 kinghorik_quest_thething19|King Horik, Sigurd Ragnarsson has made very serious allegations, supported by a witness. What do you say in your defense? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething19 kinghorik_quest_thething20|{s2}^^I do not know this man named Reginhard. I suspect he is a liar bought by Sigurd, as he seems to have some sort of dispute with {playername}. At any rate, his testimony is not against me but against {playername}, since he in no way has mentioned me or shown that I have helped {playername} in any misdeeds. If this is all that Sigurd Ragnarsson has against me, I ask this Assembly for compensation for the insult to my honor. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20 kinghorik_quest_thething20_1|{s2}^^The gods know that you were eliminating my evidence and witnesses. When you sent your dog after Atli Eiriksson and Ulf Thorirsson, this man was with {playername}. He can testify that you were involved. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_1 kinghorik_quest_thething20_2|I say Reginhard is a liar blinded by hatred for me. It's his word against mine. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_1 kinghorik_quest_thethingdialogextend1|First of all, Reginhard's first master was Thiaderd, not the jarl of Kennemer. (Persuasion) dlga_kinghorik_quest_thethingdialogextend1 kinghorik_quest_thething20_2|Reginhard betrayed his first master, Thiaderd, as now he betrays me. Would any man keep a known enemy in his hird?

Are you mad? I have betrayed you, so why do I have your support? dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_6 kinghorik_quest_thething20_7|Because deep down you're a good person and my friend. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_6 kinghorik_quest_thething20_7.1|Because King Horik now removes himself from my actions in order to protect himself. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_6 kinghorik_quest_thething20_7.2|I'm not sure why I said that. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_7 kinghorik_quest_thething20_2|Silence! We do not tolerate anyone making a mockery of this Assembly. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething20_2 kinghorik_quest_thething21|Now, this is a very delicate matter that may affect the stability of the kingdom. The judges shall retire to deliberate for a moment. dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething21 kinghorik_quest_thething22|-- You watch as the judges get behind the big rock before entering a heated discussion.

This Assembly may either be the solution to civil war or the trigger to start one. Everything depends on the judges' decision.^^You realize that no one approaches you; everyone avoids you like the plague. You are aware also that nobody gave you the opportunity to present the case of the abduction of your mother. You feel you have not been more than a piece in a game of Hneftalf between the powerful men of Danmark. -- dlga_kinghorik_quest_thething22 kinghorik_quest_thething23|-- The judges are slow to come to a decision. You're not sure how much time has passed, but it seems it takes them very, very long. Many men around you have decided to sit on the ground, and there are even merchants distributing food and mead. Reginhard remains in the same spot, silent and without moving a muscle, as if carved in granite. Egil doesn't look at you, either.

Two will go, but only one return.

King Horik will give Jarl Sigurd a position on his council and among his most beloved men.
