Þórhallur: "K, here's the thing: if we tell the Njálssons' side we know their suit is illegal they'll be able to get evidence for their defense, so let's rather sit quietly until the courts and then totally teabag the shits out of them."

The pedigree of Guðmundur the powerful: lots of bignames and a Kettle (kids, this is why it's a bad idea to translitterate Icelandic names).

Njáll gets to pay up fines for other people's doings again. Here's the funny thing again: Ketill, Þráinn's brother is also Njáll's son-in-law after marrying his daughter, Þorgerða. Seriously, don't they have any other neighbours?

Hákon: "FFFFFFF lost Hrappur. Oh well I'll go fuck up them Njálssons instead and it's perfectly fair to vent your anger on innocents when you're an Earl."

Helgi: "WELL COME AND TRY GET US, UGLY!"

(Just a side note: never take that Helgi on your boat, ever, even if it's the last thing you do because it very likely will be the last thing you do.)

Þráinn Somethingsson goes to Norway and shamelessly flaunts he's related to Gunnar the Awesome. Everyone's very impressed. Some random Kol is an asshole so Þráinn gets some action totalling him. Everyone's very impressed again. An Earl gives him a ship called Vulture and Þráinn is very impressed and decides he stay with this sugardaddy for a bit longer.

Njáll: “Ok, so I got you out once again. But this time both you and Kolskeggur have to go abroad for three years or else you're dead meat.”

Þorgeir: "So now Gunnar's going to outlaw the guys he killed and if he does that then it means it was totally ok to kill them. And then he'll prolly make us listen to him... to him... [music] sing!"

Mörður: "Ohferfukssake..."

There was a man called I forgot already and - wait what he's got nothing to do with this story either? Oh, cool.

Brennu-Njáls saga, part 3.

35

Gunnar and Njáll are good friends and not gay, so their wives can't stand each other.

Bergþóra: "Bitch get off my stool."

Hallgerður: "Bitch your husband looks like a homo."

Brennu-Njáls saga, part 2.

Meet Gunnar. Gunnar is son of this and son of that and his brothers are Kolskeggur and Hjörtur and besides, Gunnar can somersault backwards in full war-gear, true thing no lie. Oh, and he's got another brother who married this random chick and now that you know all about this brother we'll tell you he doesn't even come into this story lol.

In short, Gunnar is made of awesome.

Brennu-Njáls saga, part 1.

Before we begin: this saga is shortened from the English version of Icelandic Saga Database. I've already noticed there being some differences between the original and this one, so at some point I'm going to do a full rehash. Regardless, the main story is the same in both versions, unlike in some other English versions used on that website (with some sagas I´m half not sure if I'm reading the same story in the translations)(I don't know why that is)(and it's annoying).

Höskuldur: "How's my daughter Hallgerður then, o brother o mine?"

Hrútur: "Ugly eyes."

After this the brothers didn't talk to each other until the second chapter.
