## Knut & The Family

 ###  Night After Recruitment

This event occurs the night after Solveig & Knut have been recruited to the camp.

Hi, I'm Eirik by the way.

... Knut.

You're Norsemen like us right?

Yes.

What's your story? How did you end up here?

Exiled. Like dogs. For nothing *\*spit\**

... Like us. That's crazy we ended up on the same, unknown island.

Yeah... I don't believe in coincidences.

There's something... Weird... With this island. Moira felt it when we arrived.

... Hrumpf... A witch. \*Spit\*

* Knut: -30 to opinion of Moira

... She is more in touch with the gods than us, but that's all.

## Knut & Kari

 ###  War Injury

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

By Odin, how did you lose that leg?

... At war.

You must have been lucky, you cheated death that time!

I'd say I was unlucky.

You were a warrior then?

... I was. Those bastards I called brothers expelled me when I lost my leg.

I see... Let's be honest, I understand them... If you can't move, you're just a heavy burden for them.

... Your tongue is very sharp for a girl. In my time, children showed respect for their elders.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Kari

You don't know Moira... She's worse.

That woman. *\*spit\** Not a good example.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Moira

 ###  Fighting With Bows

This event only occurs after the previous event, "War Injury".

Hey, wooden man, I was wondering something!

Grumble...

Why don't you use a bow in battle? Or a sling, for all I care...

Bows are for cowards and women. Do you think I'm either?

Err... No, no! It's just that... I've been thinking... Since you move at the speed of a limping snail, it would be easier to take root and shoot people from there!

... Out of respect for your father, I won't spank your naked ass in front of everyone.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Kari

You should spend more time with your mother, and less with your aunt, child.

* Knut: -10 to opinion of Moira

*(What did I say?) (What a jerk... But at least he shows some norse pride...)*

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Knut

## Knut & Eirik

 ###  War plans

Eirik. I wanted to discuss our war plans.

War plans?

... We're at war with Björn, no? What is our strategy?

...

* **I don't know...**

???

* **We should stop paying tribute!**

We can't bend the knee forever to this Björn!

* Eirik gains the positive trait  Combative for 10 days.

He steals what is ours! We can't live like this... Just survive!

Björn doesn't look any different than a Jarl to me... But if you want to take arms against him, you can count on my hammer!

* Knut gains the positive trait  Combative for 7 days.

... Thanks for your support, Knut.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Knut

* **Pay tributes, and wait for the right time**

I don't see another solution than paying these tributes for now...

* Eirik gains the negative trait  Renouncing for 8 days.

Yeah... I agree...

* Knut: +10 to opinion of Eirik

Björn doesn't look any different than a Jarl to me... But if you want to take arms against him, you can count on my hammer!

* Knut gains the positive trait  Combative for 7 days.

... Thanks for your support, Knut.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Knut

 ###  About Raiding

So... You raided too, right?

Yeah...

How many?

Too many.

You don't miss it?

No. I just want to live an humble life. A family. A good beer around the fireplace. Growing wheat maybe.

Aha... Simple needs.

Yeah... But here, everything is complicated.

Hmm... You know... It's my fault we are here with Solveig and Thormod.

...?

I beat one of the Jarl's men. To death. Just because this fucker looked at my wife. There was alcohol involved, if course. And you know the worst? They would have killed us, but "only" exiled us because they had pity on me. My leg. Fuck... I wish I died that day.

* Knut: +  Depression

...

* Eirik: +20 to opinion of Knut

## Knut & Blodeuwedd

 ###  Your Previous Trade

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

What was your trade before you ended up here?

... Blacksmith.

Hmm, we are lucky! That can come in handy in our situation!

If you say so.

And Solveig is... Your wife?

Yes.

Congratulations for your baby, you must be happy.

...

... Anyways, welcome to our camp.

## Knut & Moira

 ###  The Way Things Work

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

It must have been hard for you surviving all this time with a little baby like this.

...

I, for one, couldn't have done it... Even at home I wouldn't have been able to.

You don't like children?

Oh no, I don't mind them... I like my freedom too much, that's all.

You lived alone? At your age?

... Yes. Is that a problem?

*\*spit\** It's not the way things work.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Moira

... That's how \*I\* work...

* Moira: -20 to opinion of Knut

It's not healthy.

... Okay, so good night to you! Have a healthy sleep.

 ###  About a potion

What's that poiton you gave to my wife?

...?

You gave my wife a potion. What for?

Maybe to heal her bad breath? Unwanted flatulence? Or what I call "Annoying Husband Syndrome". I lose track of everyone's little complaint...

Don't. Mess. With me.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Moira

Or what? You'll feed the fire with my body? I'm not a witch, idiot. If I were, you would have been the first on my "to curse" list. Right before Björn. And Elof.

* Moira: -20 to opinion of Knut

You threaten me, woman? Say curse again, and I promise...

Curse? CURSE CURSE CURSE CURSE CURSE CUUUUUUUUUURSE!!!

Fucking witch bitch!!! SHUT UP!

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Moira

YOU NEVER HAD A MAN TEACH YOU RESPECT!

* Knut gains the negative trait Angry for 3 days.

Ooooh... Because men know such things?! Teach me master! I'm just a girl, I want to learn every word that comes out of your mouth! But... But... Only SHIIIT comes out of your mouth! What shall I do?

* Moira: -20 to opinion of Knut

Shut up...

Shit and... Oh! What we have here? Björn's COCK! And me that thought that it was right up your ass! So very sorry!

SHUT THE FUCK UUUUP!!!

*As he yellled these words, Knut's hand flew right into Moira's face... She fell on her knees from the violence of the blow, as the others were alerted by the screams.*

* Moira gains the negative trait Black Eye for 3 days.
* Moira: +  Injury

What's going on here?! Moira! Are you okay?

\*spits blood\* I'm fine, I'm fine... This brute hit me good...

She insulted me.

By the gods! Sorry Moira! My husband is tired these days... I'm sure he regrets it!

...

Pfff! I say kick him out of the camp! He is no better than Björn.

Calm down, everyone, calm down.

**Expel Knut**

???
**Don't expel Knut.**

If Knut apologises to Moira, I think we can get over it.

Hrmpff...

Knut... Please...

... I shouldn't have hit you, even if you deserved it.

* Knut: +  Depression

There. Happy? \*spit\*

I'm DELIGHTED by there half-assed apologies... It's so beautiful I could even cry.

Moira... Make an effort. Please.

Oh! You want me to kiss his boots in recognition, too?

* Moira: -20 to opinion of Eirik

Well you can KISS MY ASS! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

* Moira gains the negative trait Angry for 3 days.

It's good to have a family to cover your back.

* Moira gains the negative trait Depressed for 3 days

...

Let's all get some rest...

## Knut & Solveig

 ###  Crying Thormod

This event can only trigger if the player has the Norse Side Stories DLC active AND both characters are part of the camp.

That boy! By Thor, he doesn't know to do anything else but crying?! SHUT UP, YOU HEAR ME?! SHUT THE HEL UP!

Shouting at him won't help! Please, stop! I'll take care of him.

* Solveig: -10 to opinion of Knut

Fuck it... I'm sick of him, sick of you, sick of them all! Aaaaarhhh!!!

* Knut: +  Depression

Please \*sob\* please calm down... They will hear you...

* Solveig: +  Depression

DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING TELL ME WHAT TO DO, OR ELSE...!

* Knut: -30 to opinion of Solveig

...

* Solveig gains the negative trait Depressed for 5 days.

 ###  Cursed

This event can only trigger if the player has the Norse Side Stories DLC active AND both characters are part of the camp.

That boy... I'll never make a warrior out of him...

* Knut: +  Depression

Why are you saying this?

All he can do is cry and get sick. He's weak. I've failed. Again. The curse...

* Knut: +  Depression

Stop it! Thormod is strong! He is a true survivor! And stop talking about this "curse"... there is no curse!

* Solveig: -20 to opinion of Knut
* Solveig gains the negative trait Angry for 2 days.

You know very well that I am cursed! You know it, Solveig! It's the only explanation to all our troubles! And if I'm not cursed... that would mean I'm just a total failure.

...

* **There is no curse**

You're not a failure, but honey, I fear that there is NO curse. We just don't have much luck these times.

No LUCK? Are you kidding me, Solveig? FUCK IT, it's been years of suffering and hardships!

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Solveig
* Knut gains the negative trait Angry for 2 days.

You're saying that I'm WEAK, is that it? Is that what you mean???

No... No... Calm down.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I have the right to be angered! You should be too! Why don't you get angry, Solveig? WHY?!

\*sob\* S- stop it... \*sob\* please...

* Solveig: +  Depression
* Solveig gains the negative trait Afraid for 3 days.

And you're crying now?! \*I\* should be the one to cry! Fuck it Solveig, think about my suffering for once!

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Solveig

\*sob\* B- but I...

* Solveig: +  Depression
* Solveig gains the negative trait Scared for 5 days.

SHUT IT! By the gods you make me MAD!!!

* Knut: +  Depression
* Knut: Widsom -5

* **There is a curse**

You're right. You must have been cursed, there is no other explanation. Sorry I forgot.

...

Maybe we could ask Moira if there is a way to life the curse? Who knows...

NEVER! I don't trust her kind! \*spit\* I'll fight the curse with my own strength.

... I'll help you however I can.

## Knut & Cissé

 ### Cissé's Kora

This event can only trigger if the player has the Norse Side Stories DLC active AND both characters are part of the camp.

Wh-... What happened?! My... my kora! It's broken! Knut, do you know something?!

Grumpf, I needed the wood and the strings to repair the roof.

* The Shelter's condition increases.
* +  Wood  Rope

You'll thank me tonight when it doesn't rain on your bed.

What?! But... Knut... Where to begin...

* Cissé: -20 to opinion of Knut

This instrument was my property. You should have asked me before tearing it appart. It's just like theft!

Pfff, we don't have time to chit-chat like women. You'd have agreed with me.

N-...No! Of course not! It was very dear to me. And we need songs as much as we need food!

Yeah, right... I don't have time for your nonsense. Maybe you'll start working more on the camp, rather than dozing off in the middle of the day, playing your thing.

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Cissé

...

* Cissé: -20 to opinion of Knut

*Cissé, with an heavy heart, worked until late in the night during several days to repair his beloved instrument.*

* Cissé: +  Depression

* Cissé: +  Fatigue

 ### A New Instrument

This only occurs after the previous event "Cissé's Kora".

... Grumpf... Sorry for having wrecked your stupid instrument the other day... You were right, I should have asked. Here. Take this.

What's that...? Is it an instrument that you made yourself?

Yeah... We call it Skalmejen. A fucking flute, if you will.

...

* **Thank you**

That's very nice of you, Knut. Thank you. I'm glad we managed to overcome the bad blood between us, and that we can have a fresh new start. In peace.

* Cissé]: +10 to opinion of Knut

Hmrpf...

* Knut: +10 to opinion of Cissé

I like this idea of mixing the music of our different cultures... this is what our camp is about: a group of people coming from different worlds, making a new one!

You should make a song 'bout that...

...! You're right! Oh I feel some ideas coming inside me... Quick, I must write them down!

* Cissé gains the positive trait Inspired for 3 days.

* **No forgiveness**

That's a nice gesture, Knut. But gifts don't erase the past. What you did was truly an act of agression. I fear that this violence is still inside you.

What?! Stop your bullshit, I come with excuses and a gift and...! Hrmpf. Go to Hel then. \*spit\*

* Knut: -20 to opinion of Cissé

* Knut gains the negative trait Angry for 3 days.

... *(This man... he is like a lion in a cage. He is dangerous!)*

* Cissé: -20 to opinion of Knut

* Cissé gains the negative trait Afraid for 3 days.
