## Dialogue

* **Player:** *That \*is\* a banger!*
* **Ragnar:** *A \*head\* banger!*

***After giving Skarde his reply***
* **Ragnar:** *How did he take it?*
* **Narrator:** *You tell him of Skarde's reaction.*
* **Ragnar:** *Skarde said that? I feel terrible now.*
* **Player:** *I'm sure he'll get over it.*
* **Ragnar:** *You don't understand! A Ruenvolk grudge is forever.*
* **Player:** *Can we do anything to...cheer him up?*
* **Ragnar:** *You said he was worried the tribe would die with him?*
* **Player:** *Something like that. He's mad on the old traditions.*
* **Ragnar:** *Well...We could make him a Saga. It's a banner, covered in stories of the tribe's exploits.*
* **Player:** *Sounds doable!*
* **Ragnar:** *You'd have to write down some stories, and I'll embroider them onto the banner.*
* **Ragnar:** *Start with mind - get your quill ready!*
* *(\*Conversation ends\*)*
* **Player:** *Alright, I'm ready for your story, hit it!*
* **Narrator:** *Ragnar spins his tale...*
* **Narrator:** *Caught in a raging typhoon, the warband feared that all was lost.*
* **Narrator:** *Not an order could be heard above the thunder and the waves.*
* **Narrator:** *But Skarde took to the prow of the ship, and sang against the waves.*
* **Narrator:** *Row! Row! Row!*
* **Ragnar:** *And that's my story!*
* **Ragnar:** *Come back to see me once you have all the stories and I'll help you complete the saga.*
* **Player:** *It sounds like your love of music really started on Skarde's longship.*
* **Ragnar:** *I suppose it did. Even thinking about it now gives me an idea for a song...*
* **Player:** *That's nice, hey if you're going to help me make the saga why not just come with me?*
* **Ragnar:** *Thanks, but I've got to write this one down before I foreget! It's - how do you say - a banger?*
* *(\*Conversation ends\*)*
* *(\*Player receives 'Ragnar's Story'\*)*
* **Ragnar:** *Hmm, it looks like you're missing Gertrud's story.*
* **Ragnar:** *Don't forget! Come and see me once you have all the stories.*
* **Player:** *Got it!*
* *(\*Conversation ends\*)*

***While holding Ragnar's, Sigrid's, and Gertrud's stories***
* **Ragnar:** *Wow, you managed to gather all the stories together!*
* **Ragnar:** *Now all you need to do is hand them over and I'll work my magic.*
* **Player:** *Please be quick, Skarde is so sad he's monologuing.*
* **Ragnar:** *That bad huh?*
* **Narrator:** *Ragnar hurriedly retrieves the stories and weaves them deftly into the cloth banner.*
* **Narrator:** *Watching his prowess, you feel your knowledge of tailoring has increased slightly.*
* **Ragnar:** *And that's that! One complete saga. It's truly a masterpiece if I do say so myself!*
* **Narrator:** *He chuckles gleefully to himself, looking at you with a clear expectation of praise.*
* **Player:** *I don't mean to seem ungrateful but this banner doesn't scream 'Ruenvolk' to me.*
* **Ragnar:** *\*Ahem.\* It's been a long time since I've seen Ruenvolk art okay?*
* **Ragnar:** *And besides, Skarde's half blind. Once he inevitably starts crying his eyes out, he'll never know the difference!*
* **Player:** *I guess I'll taker your word for it, wish me luck!*
* *(\*Conversation ends\*)*
* *(\*The three stories are replaced with Skarde's Saga.\*)*
* **Ragnar:** *I hope the Saga can set Skarde's heart at rest.*
* **Ragnar:** *We never meant to cause him pain.*
* *(\*Conversation ends\*)*
