Grettis saga, part 17

81

Þuríður: "Grettir should be ready for killing about now don't you think?"

Þorbjörn fish hook: "I'm never going to Drangey again. Nevereverevereverever!"

Þuríður: "Suit yourself. But go at least and ask Halldór what he thinks of it."

Halldór: "I know a guy who has a boat for you."



82a

Þorbjörn: "Watch the ladder, they say. Watch the fukken ladder."

Þorbjörn: *has a nap instead*

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Hello friend I am here. About that Grettir fellow -"

Þorbjörn: "He'soverthereandalmostdeadhe'sillplzletmego."

Fighting ensues. Illugi's at the door like a cork in a bottle though, and anyone climbing the roof soon finds out that it's got a bad case of spears coming right through it. This is problematic. Solution: remove roof.

This is very effective! More fighting ensues, Grettir gets a chop in the back. Illugi defends him a bit too well, killing three dudes and wounding every single one of the rest, so in the end they crowd him out of the way with roof beams and suchlike and chop Grettir some more.

Grettir dies. Þorbjörn fish hook chops him a bit more, just in case.

Þorbjörn fish hook chops his head off too. Just in case.

82b

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Ok Illugi if you swear you won't come after us we'll let you live."

Illugi: "&%$#/%$//&(/%/&$%."

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Come on no need for that attitude."

Illugi: "I'd rather die."

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Suit yourself."

They then make their way from the island and have Grettir's head with them so that people will know for sure that he's totally dead now. Þorbjörn is sluggish cause they beat him sort of half dead earlier on, so they kill him too.

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Ok Þórir, pay up I killed Grettir."

Þórir: "Nope. I didn't say you could use magic."

83

Nobody likes Þorbjörn fish hook. Ásdís begins to gather her friends and boy, that woman sure knew how to friend! Even those people who hated Grettir are now like, ok but he was your son so.

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Hay Ásdís here's the head of your son. I killed the other one as well sry 'bout that."

Ok maybe there's a good reason why no one likes Þorbjörn fish hook.

84

Halldór: "It's prolly a bad idea to bring that head to the Alþing. People might think that's a bit... asshole-ish."

Þorbjörn fish hook: "K let's just bury it here then."

At the Alþing Þorbjörn fish hook tries to claim the price for killing Grettir but Þórir is still like NO cause you used magic. Þorbjörn fish hook has to leave Iceland ASAP.

At some point someone gets Grettir and Illugi's bodies from Drangey and buries them at a church yard, and somehow Grettir's head is now also present. I guess they went and dug it up at some point.

85

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Hay Norway I'm here! Btw I killed Grettir."

Þorsteinn: "Huh?"

Þorbjörn fish hook: "Oh fuck I forgot he had one more brother here in Norway. Well, I hear Istanbul's wonderful at this time of the year - GOODBYE FRIENDS I AM GONE"
