You enter the Great Hall and see nearly every senior Jarl of Vestland sitting at the table.[p]
The room falls silent and all eyes are on you.[p]
Mathilde breaks the silence.[p]

#Mathilde
And here we have the hero of the hour.[p]
My stepbrother, Prince Ragnar the Silver, will go out himself and find Freja the Valkyrie and convince her to slay Køtallo, the tentacled.[p]

Some of the minor Jarls you are on friendly terms with clap a little but seeing that none of the major Jarls like Gunmarr or Sven join in make them stop after a few seconds.[p]
Mathilde brushes off the lack of enthusiasm and keeps talking.[p]

#Mathilde
This is how we will defeat Køtallo.[p]
This is the right way of doing it.[p]
Not sailing out into his territory so he can tear our men to pieces.[p]
#Jarl Grunmarr
You expect us to believe that this piece of rope is going to save our kingdom?[p]
#Jarl Bjørn
I didn’t know we were sending boys out to do men’s work.[p]
Perhaps the world truly is ending![p]

#Ragnar
You Jarls seem to have such a short memory.[p]
You seem to all forget that it is precisely because of this chauvinistic and macho behaviour that Freja the Valkyrie, our greatest warrior, chose to leave.[p]
She is the only Valkyrie that we know of and if you remember “The Saga of the Cataclysm” it states that it is a Valkyrie that slays Køtallo the tentacled.[p]
Out of every noble here I have the best relations with her, and she will speak to no-one else.[p]
I’m your only chance at surviving this.[p]

The room falls silent until Jarl Grunmarr decides to change the mood with a bit of bravado.[p]

#Jarl Grunmarr
Never trust a woman to do a man’s job, even if she is a Valkyrie.[p]
I think I’ll go out and slay that octopus myself.[p]

Jarl Grunmarr’s followers laugh in agreement.[p]
However, you can see that you have gained some respect with the older Jarls like Bengt and Sven.[p]

Shut up![p]
All of you shut up![p]
I’ll convince her and save the day![p]
You’ll see![p]

This immature outburst has impressed no one.[p]

You stand there silently and stoically taking insults.[p]
Some of the younger Jarls mock and taunt you but some of the older Jarls like Sven and Bengt respect the fact that you seem unphased.[p]

#Jarl Sven
While Prince Ragnar is a famed orator, he is not known for his skills with the axe and shield.[p]
Sending him out in the wilderness would be very unwise, my Lady.[p]
Then you truly would have no heirs to the throne.[p]
#Mathilde
As always, your wise words are most welcome in this court, Jarl Sven.[p]
For this reason, I’ll be sending my own personal bodyguard, Helga to protect Ragnar.[p]
#Jarl Gunmarr
Sending a babysitter to change Prince Ragnar’s nappies.[p]
Seems about right.[p]
#Mathilde
Do not mock Helga for being a shieldmaiden.[p]
You forget that Freja, a warrior much more skilled than any of your raiders, is a woman too.[p]

The room falls silent again.[p]
It seems the Jarls are getting tired of all this discussion.[p]
Feeling the tiredness of the room, Jarl Sven mercifully decides to end the day on a high note.[p]
He raises his goblet and stands up.[p]

May he find the Valkyrie Freja so she can avenge my raiders.[p]

And mine too![p]
Skoll![p]

In respect to these two senior Jarls the other Jarls stand up and toast to you.[p]
Seeing that this is as good a way as any to end the meeting Mathilde ushers you out of the Great Hall.[p]
