Arnkell: "Ok there's two ways this thing can go: either we're going to court, in which case you'll better be prepared to pay a lot for the recent killings, or you leave the country."
Álfgeir: "I'm leaving."
Þórarinn: "Me too."
Vermundur: "Let us never be parted, bro!"

Þorsteinn becomes awesomely rich and has babies: Bork the thick and a Grímur who's to become a really mighty Þór-follower, so his name is upgraded to Þórgrímur.
Then Þorsteinn goes fishing. Big mistake.
Random shepherd: "...and then the mountain opened and there was a lot of noise and partying, and someone was welcoming Þorsteinn and his crew."
Þóra (Þorsteinn's wife): "Shit."
Well, nothing to it, since Þorsteinn's dead, Þóra re-marries a Hallvarður and makes baby Már.
