## Eirik & Blodeuwedd

 ###  He Looks So Sad...

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

(He looks so sad... I should talk to him.)

* **Lighten the mood**

Hello you. Know any good looking and strong man in the vicinity to share my bed?

Stop it, you sound like your sister.

* Eirik: +5 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

She seems to have adapted to the situation quite well, for once.

She puts a brave face on, but I'm sure she is shaking inside. Like we all should.

She's tough. It's in our family's blood. We never surrender.

* Blodeuwedd gains +5 Courage.

You won't surrender either, my strong Viking man?

Never, as long as l have you and Kari.

* **Be gentle**

(She gently lays her hand on her husband's shoulder and drops a kiss behind his neck.) You're alright honey?

Now, I'm fine.

* Eirik: - Depression
* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

I know that you feel that everything's your fault, but believe me, it's not. The only thing that we could blame you for, is to have been a loving husband and a caring father to our child. You're a good man Eirik. Never forget that.

Th-thank you honey. You make me strong.

* Eirik: +5 Courage
* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* **Push him a little**

Honey, can we talk a bit?

Hmm? Sure.

We need you honey. It's like you were here, but not really here, since the wreckage.

...I'm here. Right in front of you.

* Eirik: -5 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

But your mind is absent. We need you proud, strong and leading us.

I'm not a leader. Were you not my wife, you wouldn't be living this miserable life. No one should listen to what I say.

* Eirik gains depression.

I lost my home, I hope that I won't lose the man I love on this cursed island...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

 ### You Seem Down

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

… You seem very down tonight. What’s the matter?

\*sigh\* It’s nothing. I must be tired.

I think your mind is tired. Let’s talk a bit, just the two of us. You’ll see, there are no problems we can’t overcome together.

... Thanks.

* Eirik: -  Depression

 ###  Argument With Kari

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

Our daughter and I argued AGAIN today... That girl... It seems that she just wants to do the contrary of whatever I say.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Kari

She wants to explore all day long. It's her only purpose in life, it seems. But she doesn't understand how dangerous it is outside of the camp... Anything could happen. And mostly the worst.

* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait Worried for 5 days.

...

* **Cut her some slack**

She's stronger than you think, you know?

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Kari

We cannot overprotect her. Not anymore.

Thanks for the support, Eirik.

It's sure that if you keep this attitude, she'll never listen to me...

* Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Eirik

* **I'll talk to her**

I'll talk some sense into her, later.

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Eirik

She doesn't understand it's for her own good... But one day, she'll thank you for it.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

 ###  Imagine

This event only occurs after the event "He Looks So Sad..." [UNCONFIRMED]

Imagine... We manage to overthrow Björn... How do you see yourself?

Hmm... Honestly... I don't want to fight anymore. I'm no leader. I don't want other people's lives to depend on me. I think I want to grow vegetables. The soil is good here. I could provide for an entire village.

...

* **Farmer's life... I like it.**

There is honor in providing food for the people. What a great couple! The farmer and the cook!

Blodeuwedd: +10 to Opinion of Eirik

* **What a lack of ambition!**

But we gathered people around our banner! They belive in us! In you! You would let down everyone if you didn't lead them.

Blodeuwedd: -10 to Opinion of Eirik

... Let's not argue about that now. I can't see this future happening anytime soon, anyway.

Eirik: -10 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd

 ### More Firewood

This event only occurs after the previous event "He Looks So Sad"

I'll go fetch some more wood.

Do you really have to? We worked all day long already...

It needs to be done. Don't wait for me for dinner.

... It's been a while since we have had some time to talk...

You can talk to me when you want...

But we don't.

...

* Eirik: -5 to opinion Blodeuwedd

Look, | just want to bring some wood before the sun sets, okay? We can talk all you want when I come back.

I'll be sleeping. I'm tired.

We'll speak tomorrow then.

 *(Eirik dropped a kiss on Blodeuwedd’s forehead and left in direction of the forest.)*

...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion Eirik
* + 4  Wood.

 ### Leadership

There have been some talks lately about who should be the leader of our village, in the future. Everyone agreed that it should be you. You don't mind...?

...

* **Of course**

If everyone agrees... I guess I don't have a choice.

... You always have a choice. I can't stand people who just go with the crowd...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

Freedom is just an illusion. There is always someone who will entice you to do things you don't want... Your parents. Your boss. Your Jarl. Björn. Your people...

* Eirik: +  Depression

...Your wife?

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

...

* **I don't want to**

I don't want to be a leader. I just want a happy, quiet life.

... And who should be our leader then, if not you?

* **You**

I think that YOU should do it. You're strong. You're smart. You're just. People listen to you. You would make a perfect leader. I would follow you to Jötunheimr if you said so.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

* **I don't care**

Whichever fool screams the loudest. I don't care.

You don't care about much things lately... Including me.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik
* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait Depressed for 3 days.

 ###  Our Future

This event occurs only after the previous event "More Firewood"

 *Eirik went to sleep early tonight. The others are sharing some beers in the other room. He was dwelling on the daily problems. when Blodeuwedd laid down next to him.*

You can't sleep?

No.

 *Blodeuwedd cuddled up to her husband, and gently caressed his arm.*

I-... I wanted to know... How do you see our future?

...

* **A bright future**

I see children.

Children?

OUR children... I don't want to lose you, Blodeuwedd.

* Eirik: +20 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd

We had plans to have a dozen children back home, do you remember?

Aha... Yes... That was before my first pregnancy... We agreed to reduce that number after Kari.

I'm... Starting to think that we can make it here. Together. As a family. There's a new world we can offer to our children. One that can become welcoming, if we do our job.

* Eirik gains the positive trait Optimistic permanently.

That's the first time since we're here that... My husband is back...

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to Opinion of Eirik
* Blodeuwedd: -  Depression

I could cry aha...

 *As Blodeuwedd tears dropped on Eirik's shoulder, he kissed her lovingly.*

<sniff> You still know how to make babies, right? It's been so long since we...

Let me show you that I remember very well.

 *Eirik rolled his hand on Blodeuwedd's neck, to her chest. He tenderly opened her light tunic with a motion of the hand and dropped kisses on her whole body. For the first time since they arrived on this island, they made love. It was tender, it was passionate. It was like if they discovered eachother for the first time.*

* Eirik & Blodeuwedd: +40 to Opinion of each other.
* Eirik & Blodeuwedd: -  Depression
* Eirik and Blodeuwedd each gain the positive trait In Love permanently

* **Uncertain...**

I don't see anything... There is... So much... To handle... Björn seems to be only the first step of an infinite stair of problems.

* Eirik gains the negative trait Pessimistic permanently.

...

*Blodeuwedd hugged her husband for a while, in silence. When she was sure he was asleep, she snuck out of bed. She went out of the shelter in the middle of the night, fully naked. The cool breeze on her skin made her chill. She took an axe. And swang it on a trunk ferociously until her arm got numb.*

* Blodeuwedd: -30 to opinion of Eirik
* Blodeuwedd: +  Depression
* Blodeuwedd: +  Fatigue

 ### Doubt.

This event occurs only after the Eirik & Parvaneh event "The Bear".

How did you end up with Parvaneh in this hole?

Hmm? I rescued her from a bear.

Hmmhmm... Call me an idiot, but I have a hard time figuring how could a trap, her, a bear and you end up in the same place, at the same time.

She placed the trap herself. To catch the bear. I was passing by.

Yeah... Luckily, you ended up in a tiny hole for long hours with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen...

Are you doubting me, Blodeuwedd? Say it clearly, if this is the case.

* Eirik: -20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Okay, I AM doubting you. Say that nothing happened in this hole, and I’ll believe you.

* Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Eirik

...

The options available here depend on the actions taken during the Eirik & Parvaneh event "The Bear".

* **She tried, but I rejected her**

If you want to know, she tried, but I rejected her. Happy?

* Eirik gains the positive trait Temptation Resisted for 4 days.

Hmm...

* Blodeuwedd: -100 to opinion of Parvaneh

* **Nothing happened in this hole (truth)**

Nothing happened in this shit hole. There, happy?

Eirik gains the positive trait Faithful husband permanently.

Hmm...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

* **Nothing happened in this hole (lie).**

???

* **I don’t have to justify myself.**

I don’t have to justify myself. Either you trust me, or not.

I trusted you. But now... I don’t know anymore.

* Blodeuwedd: -50 to opinion of Eirik

 ###
Will you ever forgive me?

 This event happened after Eirik reveals(from Moira's prying) why he thinks their home was attacked

...

...

...
Will you ever forgive me?
...

* Eirik gains the negative trait Depressed for 3-5 days.

...

Believe me, I would galdly give up my life, if it woud mean you could all get back home.

...

I failed as a son. I failed as a husband. I failed as a father. I failed as a man.

...

Ok... I understand... Good night.

...
Idiot.

...?

You're such and IDIOT!

* Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Eirik

You still don't understand, don't you!?
You make me MAD when you're like that!

* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait Angry for 2 days.

How could I blame you for you brith? It's not you damned fault!

I blame you for your secrets! For saying you'd give up your life so easily!
We NEED you Eirik! Me. Your daughter. We need you alive.
And not the shadow of what you used to be.

...

* **I must find the strength. (Courage)**

Failure

... I dont' trust myself anymore...
* Eirik: +10  Depression

I hear what you say, but the guilt... He can't go away like this.
It's like a poison slowly burning me from the inside.
* Eirik gains the negative trait Guilty Conscience for 2 days.

...
If you give up, I can't do anything for you.
 Inner monologue after?

*What do I really think about my husband...?*

*(He's not quite himself lately, but I'll love him forever.)*
* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

*(We must find a way to make this work. I want to.)*

Success

Your words give me strength...

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eirik

It will be a long process, but... Maybe someday the guilt will fade away.
...And when that day comes, I'll be there, Eirik. I'll be there.
* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

## Eirik & Kari

 ###  Kari's First Shot.

 This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

At least I'm glad to have taught you how to hunt, back home.

... I miss our hunting trips. So bad. There was only you, me, the bow, and the target. Nothing else existed anymore. As if time had stopped and the gods were watching us.

They must have laughed at your first shot... Remember?

Urgh dad! That's not funny! The wind was strong...

Strong enough to blow your arrow behind you? Giants must have been at work.

Blame the teacher! You didn't tell me anything.

Aha... I didn't want to take the risk that you could surpass me on your first shot. If I want to keep your respect for a little while longer, I must let you have a hard time before giving you all the hints.

You'll have my respect forever dad! You're the best hunter I know!

* Eirik: +10 to opinon of Kari

Ahaha... You're a sweet girl... You'll soon realize that's not true.

...But until then, you're the best for me dad.

* Kari: +10 to opinon of Eirik
* Eirik: - Depression
* Eirik gains the positive trait Daughter's Love for 3 days.

 ###  Guilt.

 This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

Kari? Come now my girl. We'll go hunting together.

Yaaaay!!!

* Kari: - Depression
* Kari: +10 to opinion of Eirik

But... Why so serious, dad? Is there a problem?

... I just want to have some time with my little daughter.

...I'm not so little anymore you know... Moira says I'm almost a woman now.

I know, I know... Let's pretend for tonight that you're still my child, and that I still have some moves with the bow to teach you.

But I- ... Of course dad.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Kari

The first who catches a rabbit wins! You're already losiiiiiiiing!

(My little girl... So full of life.)

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Kari

(What have I done...? Gods, you can take anyone, but spare her. I beg you.)

* Eirik gains the negative trait Guilt for 2 days.
* Kari: + Hunting
* You gain Raw Meat

 ### Raiding Stories.

 This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

I learned that you raided when you were young? Tell me about it, pleeeeeaaaaaaase dad!

... It was a job. Nothing more, nothing less.

(Moodkiller...) Yeaaaah, but... It was exciting, no? Less boring than plowing fields.

Exciting, yes. And scary, hard, violent, depressing, unfulfilling, shameful. After so much violence, you see life differently. You'll see...

Dad, don't spoil me the end of the saga! Maybe I'll like it more than you.

Aha. You'll make your own path to Valhalla, my daughter. I guess... In all the evil that men do, there is goodness. I wouldn't have met your mother without Norsemen raiding our poor neighbours.

Wot?? What do you mean?

Your mother and Moira don't like to talk about it, but their village was raided when they were small children. Northmen came to the Welsh coast, and burned everything. They were taken as captives, since they were the children of the local jarl.

Wow... I didn't know that!

Yes... Back at our homeland, they were raised like perfect Norsewomen. Only their blazing hair would tell their Welsh heritage.

## Eirik & Moira

 ### Thankful

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

Eirik? I know it’s kind of late now, but I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For letting me stay with you and the family at your house, back home. I know that I can be a burden, and I never thanked you for that.

* Moira: + Depression
* Eirik: +10 to Opinion of Moira

* **Joke.**

It was your sister’s choice, but I respected it. l just thought you would have married a poor guy in a few weeks time.

I’m not stupid, I want to try my fair share of men before I decide myself... You must try many weapons before settling on "the one".

* Moira: - Depression
* Moira: +10 to Opinion of Eirik

Aha, I’m glad your sister didn’t follow your example!

She’s too wise for that.

* Moira: -5 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd

* **Be serious.**

It was your sister’s choice, but I respected it. I know that your bond is very strong since what happened in your childhood.

Eric, the Sage, as they call him. Yeah, it was... not nice.

* Moira: + Depression

But that's another story, let's focus on the one where we starve on a strange, godforsaken island.

 ### A Piece of the Puzzle.

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

Hey Eirik, I "found" some beer today. Want to share?

I can't say no... Thanks Moira!

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Moira.
* You gain Beer.

No need to thank me... That's what we do in the family.

Skol!

* Eirik: - Depression

... I keep on asking myself, who were those men who burned our home?

... Hagbard.

What?

... They were Hagbard's men.

...! Hagbard like in Hagbard "Thor's Hammer"? That's what you're saying?

Yes.

The own brother of the Jarl. Wow. I would never have guessed. And how would you know what Hagbard's men look like?

... I know it, that's all.

Hmmhmm...

... I raided with him once, when I was young and foolish.

I see... And you knew this the whole time and didn't tell us anything? Why?

What good would that have done to you? Them or any other, it doesn't change anything.

No... But it's a piece of the puzzle... If I can have all the pieces, I MAY finish it.

* Moira gains the positive trait Riddle Solver for 3 days.
* Moira gains the negative trait Inquisitive permanently.

 ### Bastard

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

So Eirik, you want to talk now?

...? Bout what?

You know what...

...Don't test my patience Moira, not in the mood, not tonight.

Okay, okay... Straight to the point then... Why did they call you a "bastard", those men who burned our home?

...

You must know something, right?

...No.

...

...

Okay... Good night then.

* Moira: -10 to opinion of Eirik

## Eirik & Cissé

 ### Warrior Or Man of Peace?

Eirik! Can I ask you something? I've been wondering about who you really are since I met you.

Who I really am? What do you mean?

Well, I am confused. You look like a warrior, a man who can kill and destroy for a living. But you also seem to be a man of peace, as I am.

* **I'm a warrior.**

I'm a warrior. As a Norseman, this is how I've been raised. For now, I can only bow to these bullies, but one day I'll drink in Björn's skull.

Really? You don't strike me as someone capable of such mindless brutality.

* Cissé: --10 to opinion of Eirik

As they say, one who causes others misfortune also teaches them wisdom.

Wisdom... I fear this new world is as mad as the one we left... If there is a secret meaning in all this, I'm still wondering what.

Who knows... Knowing that you know nothing is the beginning of a wonderful journey, my friend.

**I'm a man of peace.**

I'm a man of peace, and this situation pains me... We've fled violence, only to find more violence. But I have to be strong, or my family will suffer.

An army of sheep led by a lion can crush an army of lions led by a sheep. I don't think violence can solve anything. It only causes more violence, and so on, in an endless cycle.

I agree Cissé... I agree...

* Eirik & Cissé: +10 to opinion of each other.

Björn's message was clear. They don't talk or negotiate or anything. They take what they want.

Patience can cook a stone, Eirik. Tomorrow may bring a solution. If not, the day after...

* Cisse gains the positive trait  Optimistic permanently.

 ### The Monkey's Bottom

How do you feel, Eirik? You seem to be in a mood as grim as a hyena's rectum tonight!

I'm brooding on the past, my friend. And the future doesn't look better.

I see. What you need is a little song, then. Do you know how the monkey's bottom got swollen and red? The monkey was boasting he should be king instead of the lion, and the tortoise thought it was silly. The tortoise didn't want a fool for a king, so he decided to put the monkey back in his place. He went home to prepare some delicious akara into which he added some fresh honey. Then he put a basket full of sweet akara outside the lion's door. The lion ate them all with delight! It was the best akara he ever had! He grabbed the tortoise by the neck and asked where to get more. The tortoise explained it was a secret. The delicious akara was in fact poop coming from the monkey's butt. So the lion went immediately to the monkey's house and asked for his sweet poop. The monkey was confused and gave the lion a blank stare. He was terrified and defecated on the spot. It was not sweet and the lion was mad. So he beat the monkey's bottom until it was all swollen and red. Since then, the monkey has shelved his ambition to become king of all the animals.

* **Ahah.. Funny.**

That's a good story, Cissé! You win, I laughed. It's been a while...

* Eirik: -  Depression
* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Cissé

Seriously, where did you learn such wicked tales?

I think this one comes from my grandmother... I remember she told me the tortoise himself had told her this story. I believed her, back then. Who knows? Maybe she was telling the truth! There is an old saying in our land that... Stories always tell the truth.

* **Akara? What is it?**

What kind of food is this?

Some sort of fried bean cake. Everyone in the village gets his share of akara in moments of celebrations.

I sure wish we had something to celebrate besides staying alive one more day... But I wonder... Is the lion so stupid he can barely tell the difference between food and shit?

Well... There is an old saying in our land that... Even the king has to be taught!

Where I come from, kings sure need to be taught... They don't know much except feasting and killing.

Ha! Maybe they'd need a griot, my friend.

 ### Lightning and Thunder

Eirik, I've heard you and your family ended up there after a terrible storm.

Yes, that is true. What a dreaded night it was... I still don’t know how we made it.

Do you know the story of the lightning and the thunder?

Indeed, it‘s Thor, with his mighty hammer Mjölnir, whose sparks become lightning! And mortals cover in fear as they hear the rumble of his chariot wheels thundering across the sky.

Well, in my beloved sunny land, thunder and lighting lived among people, on the far end of the town. The thunder was an old mother sheep, and the lightning was her son, a ram. When the ram got angry he used to burn houses and knock down trees, and even kill people! Then his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop and not to do any more damage. But the lightning most often didn't listen to his mother at all, and caused tremendous acts of destruction. The people could not stand it any longer, so the king exiled the mother and son to the forest. But the angry son burned the forest, and the flames spread to the farms and fields. The people complained again. Mother and son were sent to the sky, where they could not do much harm. Ever since, when the lightning is angry, you can hear his mother, the thunder, telling him to stop. Sometimes, however, when the mother has gone away some distance from her naughty son... you can still see that he is angry and is doing damage, but his mother's voice cannot be heard.

* **This is Utterly Silly.**

Horseshit! This doesn't make any sense, everyone knows this is Thor's work!

In your land, perhaps, but not in mine...

Thor is a god, he goes wherever he wants!

I've never heard of a white man on a chariot in our sunny lands, so I don't think he ever visited us.

Really? Maybe so, but he sure followed me here, and nearly killed me and my family!

... You can't blame the spirits, they don't have a will of their own. They are like mischievous little children, with tremendous powers.

... These kids should be taught a good lesson. They shouldn't play with our lives.

* Eirik: +  Depression

* **Interesting Idea!**

It never occurred to me that Thor wouldn't go to distant lands...But it seems the world doesn't end where I thought it would, so what do I know? If your skins are black and your mountains are made of sand, thunder and lighting could be mother and son.

It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... One who doesn't know something knows another.

...Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Cissé. It's good to have you here.

* Eirik & Cisse: +10 to opinion of each other.

## Eirik & Gudrun

 ### Not Fond Of The Gods.

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

...

...

I'm not very fond of the gods right now, you know?

They don't seem to be very fond of you either, boy.

True... You think... I upset one of them?

AH! You remind me of Baldr... Got a beautiful birthday present from his mummy, feeling almighty... And got shot in the ass by a blind geezer. Tch! Serves him well...

... Okay... I don't quite understand the comparison with my life, but well... Not that I care.

Pwah! Of course you don't! Kekekekeke... Would you yet know more?

* **Yes**

Then, listen well boy.

Gudrun +10 to opinion of Eirik

*Now do I see the earth anew. Rise all green from the waves again; The cataracts fall, and the eagle flies, And fish he catches beneath the cliffs.*

... I still don't see the point.

Eirik + Wisdom

Of course you don't.
* **No**

???

 ### The Crow's Curse

... Gudrun, I was wondering... In case of emergency... Would you let us eat that dark nasty bird that follows you everywhere?

AH! Teeheeheeheeee... You don't fear... THE CROW'S CURSE?

...

* **Hmm...**

D-... Did you really curse this crow?

* Eirik gains the negative trait Unbeliever permanently.

AH! Who knows... Until you don't kill it, it may as well be cursed, and as well not.

... Errr...

I'll explain it to you with simple words... Don't. Eat. The. Crow!

* Gudrun: -10 to opinion of Eirik

* **No**

Keep your fairytales for children. I don't believe them.

* Eirik gains the negative trait Scared.

Eeeheeheeheeheeee...

... Errr...

Fairytales yes, yes...

They hide the truth, but the truth they hide is true.

... Errr...

I'll explain it to you with simple words... Don't. Eat. The. Crow!

* Gudrun: -10 to opinion of Eirik

## Eirik & Eustache

 ### Hey, My Friend!

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

Hey, my friend!

...?

I really wanted to thank you for letting me join your little group! It feels like I am part of the family, it warms my poor heart

* **He's not part of the family.**

We accepted you into our camp, Eustache, but you are still a stranger to us. We must be cautious to whom we give our trust.

* Eustache: -10 to opinion of Eirik

You could as well be spying on us on behalf of Björn, we don't know until you prove your loyalty.

My friend! You're hurting my feelings! I am but a mere servant of God you know...

* Eustache: -  Depression

* Eustache: -10 to opinion of Eirik

I don't know if it's the same for you barbaric people, but in my land people like me are treated with respect.

... Start with not insulting my beliefs, and maybe I'll respect you.

* Eirik: -10 to opinion of Eustache

* Eirik: +  Depression

... Of course my friend, forget about it. Our past is well behind us now. New land, new rules.

Björn's rules for now...

* **That's Nice of Him.**

That's a relief to see that not everyone on this island wants to cut our throats.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Eustache

* Eirik: -  Depression

Even better my friend! Since you accepted me in your family, l'll protect them with all my might! I, Eustache of Boulogne, make this promise to you, right here, right now... If, God forbid, you ever came to your own demise, I'll take care of your family as if it was my own blood!

...

* Eirik: +  Depression

Okay, okay, that's nice Eustache. .. But I'd prefer that you won't pray for my death too soon.

Of course my friend... Of course... It was just an hypothesis. Rest assured. I'm watching over you.

 ### A Little Jealous

This event only occurs after the previous event "Hey, my friend!"

I have a confession to make my friend. I'm a little jealous of you.

...?

Your beautiful family that you have. You can be proud my friend.

I guess so.

* Eirik: +5 to opinion of Eustache

I never managed to settle down myself... Always on the road, never sleeping under the same roof...

I thought that Christian priests didn't have the right to "settle down".

...Of course not! A simple figure of speech... What I meant is, it's been a while since I could call a place "home". That's what I meant.

We had a place we could call "home", not so long ago... Believe me, "friend", you can't even imagine the pain of losing your home. I might be happier if I didn't have these memories of happiness that hurt so much now.

* Eirik: +  Depression

(Believe me... I know this pain very well... But you don't have to know this)

## Eirik & Parvaneh

 ### Blodeuwedd And You

Eirik, sorry to ask you that but... Blodeuwedd and you are really husband and wife?

Of course... Why do you ask?

No it's just that... I thought... I don't know, you don't seem very close... IF I had a man like you, I couldn't stop kissing him, touching him, making nice things for him...

* Parvaneh: +10 to opinion of Eirik

She doesn't see how lucky she is!

* Parvaneh: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

...

* **Joke**

You're right, I should remind her that! Ha ha.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Parvaneh

Oh please! Don't tell her that I told you that! She would hate me... heeheehee

I will just say that "another woman" said...

Silly! Heeheeheehee!

*As Parvaneh burst into laughter, she laid her hand on Eirik's forearm. Her touch was soft as silk, but Eirik felt like his arm was struck by lightning. Their eyes met for a split second and she left with a mischievous smile.*

Eirik: -  Depression.

* **Defend Blodeuwedd**

???

 ### Your Childhood

Tell me about your childhood... How was the little Eirik?

Oh... He was like all boys his age... a young fool... I was raised by my mother. I never knew my father...

Oh, that's so sad! Poor little boy!

No, no... I had a good life. My mother was very kind. We ate a good meal everyday, we had a roof... I was more lucky than many boys my age! And you?

Oh... Like you, I didn't know my father... Mom told me he left the day I was born. My mother and I shared a special bond... We were very close. She taught me all I know! How to dance... How to smile... And how to defend myself!

How did you become a royal dancer?

Oh, quite simple! My mom was the nanny of the daughter of the High Vizier... a very important man. I grew up with her, she was my soul sister. My best and only friend. She helped me enter the royal dancers company. But I was talented too! Oh! I never showed you my dance? Let me give you a taste of my former land...

Hmm, I don't know if it's the good time to...

There will never be a good time! We could die tomorrow, so... Please?

Okay, okay... Why not, after all...

*Parvaneh started to move to the sound of an imaginary song... The waves she was making with her body were... mesmerizing. It seemed like she had control over every muscle, from the tip of her feet to her neck. The sensual rhythm of her hips, the grace of her thin arms swirling in the air... And then, her dance started to increase in intensity. The soft caress was becoming wild, frenzied... She extended her hand to Eirik, and smiled at him.*

Come... Join me...

...

* **Let's dance**

*Eirik accepted the invitation to join Parvaneh's wild dance. He mostly stood there, stiff like a tree trunk... But she... swirled around him in a hypnotic dance, faster and faster. Eirik lost totally track of what was happening... like in a haze. She was now literally dancing with Eirik's body... As if he was a wall, or a rug. She rubbed her butt from his left foot to his crotch, bouncing to the sound of the imaginary music. The dance was not suggestive anymore... It was clearly an arousing imitation of sex.*

* Eirik & Parvaneh both gain the positive trait Excited for 4 days.

*When Parvaneh felt she was making some effect on the confused Eirik... She pulled away with her mischievous smile, and turned to him.*

So \*pant\* \*pant\* Was it any good? \*pant\*

* Parvaneh: +  Fatigue

... Err... Yes... V- very nice...

* Eirik: -  Depression

* Eirik: +20 to opinion of Parvaneh

* **No**

???

 ### The Waterfall

*Eirik went to a nearby river to fetch some water. But as he was drawing near, he heard someone talking in the direction where he was heading! He advanced carefully, sword in hand… was it talking, or… singing maybe? He slowly stepped out of hiding, ready to strike one of Björn’s lackeys, when… He saw a naked Parvaneh, casually taking a shower in the waterfall! She didn’t notice him at first. He couldn’t help but notice her body’s sensual curves…*

You like what you see? Heeheehee...

*She turned her head to him while continuing to rub her breasts.*

Oh, erm... Sprry Parvaneh, I didn't mean to...

Don't worry, I don't mind. Heehee! I'm finished.

*She completely turned to face him, revealing even more fascinating beauty.*

* Eirik: +5 to opinion of Parvaneh

I don't understand why all of you are so shy with your bodies... You have a great body... You should show it with pride!

... Well... It's just that...

Could you give the piece of rags you call a towel, please?

Hmm? Oh, yes, yes... Here, take it.

Thank you, Eirik.

...

You still didn't answer my question...

Err... What question?

You liked what you saw...?

* **Be honest.**

You are very beautiful, Parvaneh. I think you know it.

Yes. I know. What else do you like in me?

Hmm? Err... I have never thought about that...

I guessed as much. People usually just care about my body. They are not interested in my mind, my dreams, my thoughts... I have feelings too, you know? Like everyone else.

...

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Parvaneh

* **Change subject**

I liked the fact that you were not one of Bjorn's men... I was ready to attack!

Hmmhmm...

If I can, I prefer avoiding confrontation... we already have much on our hands, you know...

Hmmhmm...

As Eirik was jabbering his way out, Parvaneh delicately advanced towards him. She nearly bumped into him, but gracefully dodged him at the last moment. She winked at him, and slowly walked back to camp.
* Parvaneh: +10 to opinion of Eirik
* Eirik gains the positive trait Excited for 3 days.

 ### Drunk Parvaneh

Eiriiiiik! Come heeeeere!

Hmm?

How are you doing, handsome?

Parvaneh... that bottle... you're drunk?

NO! Not yet! I'm just \*hips\* tipsy... heeheeheeheehee!

* Parvaneh gains the negative trait Drunk for 1 day.

Come on, don't leave me alone! Drink with me! To another day alive!

...

* **Drink**

*Eirik and Parvaneh shared a few drinks... talking, laughing... it was a nice moment.*

* Eirik & Parvaneh: -  Depression &  Hunger.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Parvaneh

*But Parvaneh couldn't hold alcohol very well... And soon got totally wasted.*

* Parvaneh gains the negative trait Nausea for 1 day.

Come oooooonnnn! Why don't you love me, Eiri-\*hips\*-ik? Is there something that you don't like in me? \*sniff\*

No, no... I don't like it when you drink too much.

Pwah! Too much!? I can still \*hips\* dance! I'm a royal \*hips\* dancer!

*Parvaneh made a few clumsy steps, tried to swirl and... fell right into the arms of Eirik.*

Oops... Maybe not... I'm at your mercy, Eirik... You could do aaaaaaaall you want to me... I'm help-\*hips\*-less... ... Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

*Eirik gently carried Parvaneh into her bed, covering her with an extra fur blanket so that she didn't get cold.*

* **Don't.**

*Erik politely declined, but it didn't stop Parvaneh from drinking the whole bottle by herself.*

Come oooooonnnn! Why don't you love me, Eiri-\*hips\*-ik? Is there something that you don't like in me? \*sniff\*

No, no... I don't like it when you drink too much.

Pwah! Too much!? I can still \*hips\* dance! I'm a royal \*hips\* dancer!

*Parvaneh made a few clumsy steps, tried to swirl and... fell right into the arms of Eirik.*

Oops... Maybe not... I'm at your mercy, Eirik... You could do aaaaaaaall you want to me... I'm help-\*hips\*-less... ... Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

*Eirik gently carried Parvaneh into her bed, covering her with an extra fur blanket so that she didn't get cold.*

 ### Apology

This event occurs in the day, after the "Drunk Parvaneh" event.

Eirik... Sorry to have caused you trouble yesterday... It seems I'm not used to alcohol like norsemen, heehee...

Don't worry Parvaneh. There's no harm.

You treated me so nicely... I'm not used to having someone who cares for me.

...

I didn't have a father... And I've... never been with a man before. No one to take care of me, like you did. So thank you.

* Parvaneh: +20 to opinion of Eirik

 ### The Bear

This event occurs during the day.

*Eirik was cutting some trees in the forest, when he heard someone screaming...*

HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE! HEEEEELP!!!

*Without hesitation he rushed in the direction of the voice, axe in hand. To discover... Parvaneh... Attacked by a giant bear! He charged! The bear clawed him severely!*

* Eirik: +  Injury

*Eirik took Parvaneh by the hand...*

COME! WE MUST FLEE!

NO! NOT THIS WA-...!

*Suddenly, the two of them fell into a big, deep hole, which was covered by branches.*

What the...?!

S-... Sorry... It was my... trap... for the bear...

...?

I-... Your wife always says that I don't do much in the camp... I wanted to prove her wrong! I found this big hole... And covered it with branches. Then I lured a bear here, but... \*sob\* It scared me... \*sob\*

* Parvaneh: +  Depression

...? Shhh... Calm down... The bear is gone, we're... safe... here, for now.

I'm sorry Eirik \*sob\* I just wanted to be useful...

* Parvaneh: +  Depression

I know, I know... We'll just have to wait until someone passes by... When they see that we don't come back, they'll search for us.

... Yes...

*They waited a long... long time in this dark hole... It was getting cold outside and Parvaneh was starting to shiver.*

* Parvaneh & Eirik: +  Depression

*Eirik couldn't let her freeze to death... He extended his arms and gave her a sign. She went to cuddle up with him, as close as she could.*

Thank you... You're warm. Y-... you... you think we're going to die here?

...

*They waited again a long... long time...*

* Parvaneh & Eirik: +  Depression

Thank you for saving me, Eirik. You're my hero.

* Parvaneh: +10 to opinion of Eirik

*Her hand softly slipped in his hand.*

...

* **Keep holding her hand.**

*This contact felt good. Eirik felt a comforting warmth inside his stomach.*

* Eirik: -  Depression

*He started to instinctively caress her hair.*

* Parvaneh: -  Depression

*Then... Slowly... Softly... She dropped a kiss on his belly, next to where her head was lying. Another kiss... a bit higher. And another, with the tip of her tongue. She kissed all the way through his chest, until his neck... It sent a shiver down his spine.*

* Eirik: -  Depression

*Her nose caressed his cheek... now her lips were close to his... so close...*

* **Let it go... kiss her.**

*They kissed passionately... their bodies were heating up...*

* Parvaneh & Eirik: -  Depression

*Parvaneh bit her lips... That felt so good! She wanted more...*

* Parvaneh gains the positive trait Excited for 5 days.

*They kissed again and again... Their bodies were hot as the interior of a volcano, ready to erupt... Parvaneh suddenly removed her clothes... She removed Eirik's pants...*

...

* **Let it go...**

*Eirik and Parvaneh at last gave themselves up to their passion... They danced the dance of love, lost in this crude hole in the forest. After a short yet intense discovery of the art of love-making for Parvaneh, they cuddled back together.*

* Eirik gains the positive trait Excited for 3 days.

* Eirik: -  Depression

*They stayed like this in silence for a while, until at last someone from camp found them.*

* **We can't go farther... It's wrong.**

???

* **Stop! It's wrong...**

???

* **Remove your hand.**

*Eirik softly removed his hand from hers.*

* Parvaneh gains the negative trait Rejected for 6 days.

*They stayed like this in silence for a while, until at last someone from camp found them.*

This event is followed by the Blodeuwedd & **Eirik** event "Doubt."

 ### Keeping The Secret

So my dear Eirik... Now that you have introduced me to the pleasures of the flesh, you don't think I would be satisfied with only one time? There are still plenty of things I want to try with you...

Shhh... Not so loud! *(What are my true feelings about her...?)*

* **I love her.**

Parvaneh... I love you.

* Eirik: +50 to opinion of Parvaneh

But for now... Until Björn is defeated, and peace is brought to this island... We can't say to anyone that we love each other. We have to wait, and pretend.

... I understand...

I PROMISE you that after that, I'll leave my wife, and we'll be together. Until then... Let's keep it a secret, okay?

It's a promise?

Yes. On my life.

* Parvaneh & Eirik both gain the positive trait In Love

* Eirik gains the negative trait Cheater

* **It was a mistake...**

???

 ### That Eustache

This event can only trigger if both Parvaneh and Eustache are part of the camp.

What do you think about that Eustache?

Hmm? Nothing much. He seems nice.

I don't like him. He is a seducer.

* Parvaneh: -20 to opinion of Eustache

You didn't hear him flirting with your wife? Sheesh, what a pig!

Hmm...?

Well, it's a bit of her own fault too, she could rebuke him for good. He tried his little trick on me, but I said to him right away from the start: "Not interested, no thank you." But she seems to enjoy talking to him... They laugh a lot... Don't you fear he'll... Try something?

...

* **I trust my wife**

???

* **I'll keep an eye on him**

I'll keep an eye on him... Just in case.

* Eirik: -20 to opinion of Eustache

* Eirik: -20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* Eirik gains the negative trait Worried for 7 days.

... Sorry to have worried you Eirik... If you need to talk, you know where to find me...

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Parvaneh

* Parvaneh gains the negative trait Gossip Girl III permanently.

## Eirik & Lady Tomoe

### Stop Kneeling.

Everything's alright Tomoe?

... I wanted to know. When do we stop kneeling in front of Björn? When do we stand up and fight?

... Tomoe... You know we can't, right? We can't do a thing about it for now. So we must endure.

You talk like a peasant. You're weak.

* Lady Tomoe: -20 to opinion of Eirik

...

* Eirik: -10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

* **She's right.**

You can say what you want, but it doesn't change the harsh reality. We're outnumbered, we're overpowered. If we fight, we die. If we live, there's still hope, that someday, things will be better.

... You're so different from my husband. And my father. They were not the types to wait for something to eventually happen. They would take it with all their might and purpose.

... Do you miss them?

... Not really.

* **Get angry.**

You should watch your tongue, woman.

* Eirik: -10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

We've given you shelter, but we can kick you out of the camp at anytime. Keep that in mind.

It wouldn't be honorable, but you don't know anything about honor.

* Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinion of Eirik

At least, you show some guts. Keep this attitude to Björn, your real enemy.

...

## Eirik & Yaghoub

 ### Yaghoub's Questions I

Eirik, my friend! I've been thinking about you today!

...?

Björn has been a major thorn in our side since we've been here... But think about this filthy Elof... He's been robbing us, blackmailing us... He really is a swine, isn't it?

Hmm yeah... And?

Imagine, you could take revenge on him without any consequences. He's in disgrace with Björn, we can do anything we want with him. We attack his lair, we easily beat his followers... We take back what's ours. He's at our mercy, defenseless... What would you do...?

...

* **He will suffer.**

???

* **I'll let him go.**

???

* **He'll die.**

I take no pleasure in it, but he will have to die.

Why...?

* **For all the pain he caused.**

???

* **He could still be dangerous.**

Knowing the man... He's a threat. He could poison our waters, or worse... We can't let him live, he's a threat.

I see...

 ### Yaghoub's Questions II

Eirik, I was wondering, about the tributes... What if we robbed resources from Björn's men...? Intrinsically, nothing prevents us from doing the same thing that Elof does to us or to others... Right?

...

* **Not a bad idea...**

???

* **It would be wrong.**

No. We can't do this.

Why?

* **We're not strong enough.**

???

* **They are like us.**

If we do this to them, we're no better than Björn and Elof. I don't want to become someone else's Björn.

I see...

 ### Yaghoub's Questions III

Have you ever given some thought as to what would happen if we win?

If we win?

If we get rid of Björn and his tributes, of course!

... I don't call that "winning"... This is no game. You don't win at life... You only die at the end.

I understand your feeling... But anyway, what would you do with all the men who followed Björn? They won't disappear with him, like some sort of evil power vanishing...

...

* **Kill them all!**

???

* **Make them prisoners.**

???

* **They are free men.**

They are like us, human beings in a new land. They'll be able to join us, or leave. They are free.

I see...

 ### The Secret

This event occurs during the day, if the player chose merciful options in the "Yaghoub's Questions" events.

Eirik... My friend... Come here please. I want a word with you in private.

Hmm? You are scaring me, Yaghoub...

After all we’ve been through... We can call ourselves friends, right?

...

* **No**

???

* **Yes (lie)**

???

* **Yes (truth)**

Of course, my friend.

* Eirik: +20 to opinion of Yaghoub

That’s what I thought.

[File:Yaghoub Dialogue Tag.png|200px|left]]
I must be honest with you. There is something... I have a secret... RAH!!! By Saladin’s Sword, I don’t know how to tell you that! It would have been easier had you been a wicked man… But you are a man of good... I know it from watching you all these days.

* Yaghoub: +30 to opinion of Eirik

I can't kill you. My mission is a failure.

Kill? Mission?...

I was hired to kill you. I am a Nizari Ismaili. "Assassin" as you call it. I was hired by your uncle, the norse lord called Hagbard, to find you and kill you.

...

I followed your wake, but we rapidly lost track of your ship on the high seas. I don't know which magic made us wreck on the same godforsaken island... There are... powers... I don't yet understand surrounding this island. Anyway... I found you... I just had to cut your throat in your sleep... I had plenty of opportunities to do so, believe me... But we talked, I learned about you... And I saw that you were a good man. I questioned your virtue... But you didn't fail me. So... For you... And believe me, that's something... I decided to break my vows. I give you my dagger. And my friendship. You can take my dagger and kill me... Or take my friendship.

... *That's a lot to take in... but... he seems dead serious.)* ...

* **Take the dagger.**

* Erik kills Yaghoub.

* **Take the friendship**

Keep your dagger, my friend. You may need it against Björn.

*Eirik moved his open hand to Yaghoub. Yaghoub hesitated a moment, and bowed to his friend, before shaking his hand.*

* Yaghoub gains the positive trait Eirik's Mercy permanently.

* Eirik gains the positive trait Virtuous permanently.

 ### The Reason

This event occurs the night after the previous event, "The Secret", if the player chooses to spare Yaghoub.

So you said Hagbard was my uncle...? Why? I don't understand...

Yes... You are the bastard son of his brother, your former lord. Hagbard assassinated the old Jarl, his own brother, to take the throne. And knowing he was not liked by the people, he wanted to eliminate any threat to his claim. He learned about you... And... You know the rest...

... I had some doubts, but everything makes sense now... By the gods... I didn't even know about my father. And couldn't care less about the throne!

* Eirik gains the negative trait Angry for 2 days.

Knowing you, I know that... But... It was a risk your mad uncle couldn't take.

Yeah... I guess so... I'll have to talk to my family...

 ### What's Wrong?

...

...

...

Why the long face, Yaghoub...? Did you get yelled at by Moira again? Aha.

... No, no, my friend... Nothing's wrong... nothing... don't worry about me.

...! I AM worried, Yaghoub! Look at yourself! Where is the flamboyant sailor I once knew? You're just a shadow wandering in the camp these days.

... Har... Sorry... I guess I'm still a bit down due to recent events... I'm ashamed I considered killing you. And I'm reflecting on my whole life now.

* Yaghoub gains the negative trait  Depressed for 4 days.

I fear that I am not worthy of being your friend... I'll just redeem myself by helping you on the camp, but forget about my pitiful existence...

* Yaghoub: +  Depression

...

* **He IS my friend!**

Don't say things like that, Yaghoub! You ARE my friend. I forgave you, remember?

* Eirik: +20 to opinion of Yaghoub

Let's forget about it all, and enjoy life while it lasts...

... Eirik...

* Yaghoub: +20 to opinion of Eirik

You know what could cheer you up? Fishing.

Fishing? How-...?

I'll show you where I go when I want to be alone. It's my secret place... but I guess it's time to share it with someone!

Eirik... my friend... thank you.

* Yaghoub loses the negative trait  Depressed gained earlier during the event.

* **I don't care about him**

???

 ### The Fishing Spot I

This event only occurs after the previous event "The Reason"

So... didn't I say that it was a nice place?

By Saladin's gold! That IS a nice place! Charming and peaceful, as you said! Ahaha!

Now we sit over there. There is a good tree you can rest your back onto, and fish like the shade at this time of day.

You certainly know your trade! I'm impressed.

As a sailor you must have been fishing quite a lot?

I'll have to admit... not really. I don't like fishing! Ahahahaha!

Oh! Then... sorry, we can go back home...

No, no... with you I'm sure I'll enjoy iy a lot more! New life, new experiences! Ahaha. And we can always talk, that's something I enjoy and that I'm good at!

Aha... I'm better at fishing than talking...

That's a deal then! I'll teach you the pleasure of a good talk, and you'll teach me how to enjoy sitting for hours and waiting for a bite! Ahahaha!

* Yaghoub & Eirik: +10 to opinion of each other]]

* Yaghoub: + Fishing Experience

* Eirik: + Charisma Experience

 ### The Fishing Spot II

This event only occurs after the previous event "The Fishing Spot I"

Do you ever regret your past life as a fearsome viking warrior?

... Never. I always wanted to be a farmer...

A farmer? Ah! But you could have become a king!

... There is something really powerful about growing your own food, and sharing it with others. There is a feeling of freedom, and a relationship to the earth that has always enticed me.

* Eirik gains the positive trait Loves Gardening permanently.

Freedom... yes... I think I understand what you say. I have the same feeling towards the sea. I feel at home on a ship, and going forward, somewhere. Anywhere.

You like movement as I like staying in one place, and build everything from the ground up.

You're quite at your place on this island, then! Ahaha!

... You're right... I never saw it from that angle, but... maybe it's a real chance for me, and I am where I should be. At last. I think that if this cursed island has one positive point, it's that we can be free here to be whatever we want to be.

Yes... maybe. We just have to find what we want to be...

...

We still have plenty of time fishing to find out! Ahaha!

* Yaghoub & Eirik: +10 to opinion of each other

* +  Raw Fish

 ### The Fishing Spot III

This event only occurs after the previous event "The Fishing Spot II"

...

...

...

That's a really nice place...

Yeah...

\*sigh\* So quiet... it feels good.

* Yaghoub: -  Depression
* Yaghoub: -  Fatigue

Hmm...

* Eirik: -  Depression
* Eirik: -  Fatigue

These little getaways have become the only thing that makes me want to get up from bed, these days.

Yeah... I fear that I could just forget about the world and stay here forever one day... I hope you still have amazing stories in stock if that ever happens! Ahaha.

Don't worry! I'm a merchant! If I run up of stories, I'll just make up new ones! Ahahaha!

If you happen to find a story where I don't get yelled at by my wife, tell me... I'll buy it right away!

Ahaha... maybe we should just run away together and leave them all behind! Ahaha.

Ahaha... maybe...

* Yaghoub & Eirik: +10 to opinion of each other.

* +  Raw Fish

 ### The Fishing Spot IV

This event only occurs after the previous event "The Fishing Spot III"

They're not biting much today...

No... it happens... we just have to wait. Oh I wanted to ask you, what do you think about-... AAAAH!!! By the gods, it's a big one! Help me!

Okay!

*Yaghoub jumped to a struggling Eirik and took a firm grip on his rod.*

Pull! Pull!

I see it! Wow it's huge! But I'm slipping... help me!

*Yaghoub ensnared Eirik in his strong arms. The two of them struggled against the big fish when... the fishing rod broke!*

Ahahaha! What a monster it was! Jormungand maybe? Ahahaha!

Ahahaha, we would have feasted a whole week if we had caught it! Ahaha... aha... ah... ...

* **Keep holding Eirik**

???

* **Release him**

Let's get back home... two fishermen without fishing rods aren't worth much!

* Yaghoub & Eirik: +10 to opinion of each other.

## Eirik & Knut

 ### Crafting

Your crafting skills are very useful for us, you know? Since we must build everything from scratch, I'm glad to have you with us!

Hmrpff... Yeah... There's a lot to do.

I tried to consolidate this damned shelter, but... It's just a mess.

You've done good work. You can be proud.

Aha.. Thanks.

* Eirik: +10 to opinion of Knut

I looked at the structure, we could consolidate more. I can explain to you if you want.

That would be great!

* Eirik: +5 to Crafting.
