Eyrbyggja saga, part 10.

45a

Steinþór has bought a ship but it gets stuck due to Icelandic weather (trolol). He has to go back to fetch it at a later moment and gets 8 friends and brothers to go with him. It's Bobmas by the way.

But wait! A group of Þorbrandur's sons is spotted a little way away! Hey, didn't these guys just have a fight with each other, could be that this'll not end well.

*much fighting. very aggression. wow. such blood*

All Þorbrandur's sons get a chop or two. It's suggested that as they're all down they should get a small decapita as an extra, but Steinþór says no.

Snorri: "So... are you guys ok?"

Þorleifur Kimbi: "THE FUK IT LOOK LIKE. GO AFTER THEM ALREADY."

Snorri: "Hm, let me first eat this bloodied snow here... yup tastes like at least one of their's is a goner. No need to go running after them."



45b

Miraculously no one's suffered deadly wounds although they're pretty severe just the same. Þóroddur's got a bad chop in the neck and needs his bloodied clothes taken off of him.

Servant: "Dammit you Þorbrandur's sons really like tight trousers don't you. Can't yank them down with all my weight."

Snorri: "Or it could be, you know, that spear that's stuck to his thigh that's pinning them up. JUS' SAYIN'."

Snorri Þorbrandsson: "Uh, somehow it's really hard to eat."

Snorri: "Or it could be, you know, that arrow that's sticking through your mouth. JUS' SAYIN'."

Everybody heals up somehow except Þorleifur Kimbi's leg's a goner and he now has a wooden leg.

46

Spring comes and everyone's sort of fed up with the vendetta so the friends of both sides start nudging peace agreements on their way.

Bad thing: lots of people are now dead.

Good thing: there's an equal amount of damage done to both sides.

End result: all the damage is paired off on each other and everyone agrees that things are p much even, and now everyone can be friends again.

47a

Þóroddur: "Ok but we still have one problem. That fukken Björn is still at it with my wife Þuríður and it's all your fault, so do something!"

Snorri: "Eh, can't argue that. Let's go chop the bastard. Except not if he's inside his house, we don't want to repeat what happened with Gunnar of Hlíðarend - you know, that lad who chopped, shot and maimed the people who attacked him when he was home."

Snorri: Már, you're to chop Björn if you get a chance. Just a warning you better get him in one chop."

Yup, Björn's found alone outside of the house!

47b

Snorri: "Why hello Björn, long time no s-"

Björn: "You may have noticed that I caught your sleeve and I have a knife in my other hand. Indeed old pal, it's been a while. Truce?"

Snorri: "Awshi... sure."

Snorri: "But seriously dude you gotta let go. She's married to another guy now."

Björn: "As long as we're in the same country I'm not giving you any promises, man."

Snorri: "Yeah but you know, next time you might not be so lucky..."

Björn: "Hint taken, I shall find me a ship shall I."

48

Snorri Þorbrandur's son and Þorleifur Kimbi also Þorbrandur's son go to Greenland. Þorleifur stays there but Snorri goes America instead and gets chopped by a group of local folk who do not appreciate what they assume to be a poisoning attempt (the Norsemen gave them cheese without knowing they were lactose intolerant).

49

Christianity happens.
