## Blodeuwedd & Eirik

 ###  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.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

* **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

 ###  Flowers

It's been a while since you have brought me flowers...

\*sigh\* ...

What? Tell me if I bore you, I'll leave you alone.

* Blodeuwedd: -5 to opinion of Eirik

We don't have time for that.

You don't have time to seduce your wife?

... You know what I meant.

* Eirik: -5 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Yes, but obviously you didn't unterstood what \*I\* meant.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

\*sigh\* You want flowers? I'll go fetch you some flowers...

* Eirik: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

...

* **Too late**

Forget it.

* Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Eirik

I'll go to bed.

... Good night.

* **And a smile...**

Flowers would be a good beginning... We could use a smile too.

And after a smile, you want me to laugh?

Baby steps, Eirik... Baby steps.

* 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 3-5 days.

...

* **Cut her some slack**

She's stronger than you think, you know?

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Eirik

We can't 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 does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

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 believe 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 does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

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, I 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: -5 to opinion Eirik
* You gain some 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 dailv 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 Blodeuwed

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: +40 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd
* Blodeuwedd: +40 to Opinion of Eirik
* Blodeuwedd: -  Depression
* Eirik: -  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

 ###  About my husband

(What do i really think about my husband...?)

* **He annoys me.**

*(Let's be honest, I can't stand him anymore...)*

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

*(If he doesn't do something to make this work... I fear for our couple.)*

* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait Depressed for 2 days.

* **I love him. No doubts.**

(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.)

 ### 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

## Blodeuwedd & Kari

 ###  A Hole in the Forest.

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

(Okay... I found something REALLY interesting in the forest. A big hole in the ground. Large enough so that I can crawl in it. I MUST go explore this hole. It's so fishy, I'm SURE there's something inside. If I manage to bring back something valuable, maybe mom would let me go out of the camp more often? Mom... Urgh... I must find a way to sneak out of her glare.) ... Can I help you with something mom?

...? Hmm, yes, thanks child. You can clean the tools with this cloth.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Kari

Okay! I'll be right back! (Now's my chance! She'll think I'm around doing her chores... I'll run to my hole and search it. I'll get yelled at when she sees that I didn't clean those things, but if I come back with the dwarfs' treasure...)

(Kari snuck out of the camp and ran deep into the forest. As the sun was already setting, the tree's shadows were growing bigger and scarier.)

(Okayyyy... Maybe not the best idea I ever had... Be brave Kari, daughter of Eirik! I can’t chicken out now, I've gone too far. Let's crawl into this big hole!) ... (I don't see a thing but... I can feel... There’s something here. What's this... Thing? It's hard. Where does it lead...? OMYGODS IT MOVED EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

(Kari ran away as fast as she could, her heart bumping out of her chest.)

* Kari receives Scared for 3 days.

(She fell a few times along the way.)

* Kari receives Sprained Foot for 3 days.

(When she arrived home, covered in mud and tears, Blodeuwedd scolded her and sent her to bed.)

(She calmed herself after a while. It's only then that she noticed she was carrying a strange stone in her hands.)

* You receive +1 Fire Crystal

 ###  Two Rabbits.

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

Look what I have! Two juicy little rabbits!

* You receive Raw Meat

How did you get them?

Oh that’s easy! I spotted their hole a few days ago. Everyday I crawled in the bushes and waited for them to come out. It only took me four arrows to shoot the two of them. Not bad huh?

That’s nice sweetie... But until we manage to craft new arrows, you shouldn’t waste yours like this. We may be attacked by deadlier foes than two little rabbits... You’ll be happy to have one or two arrows to shoot them.

* **She's right**

Yeah mum, I understand. It’s just that... I feel useless.

* Kari: + Depression

Of course you are not useless. Come with me, we’ll cook these two delicious rabbits for tonight! And there’s plenty of cleaning to do.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Oh crap... She trapped me... Urgh)

* You some lose Raw Meat and get some Cooked Meal

* **If we starve we die**

Okay, I guess our only choice is to starve to death then... Perfect plan, mum.

* Kari: -5 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Don't be so insolent. One day, you'll really piss someone off. Someone who can kick your sorry ass real hard.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Kari

* **It's unfair!**

You're SO unfair! Moira says things way worse and nobody cares!

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

She's not your mum, I AM. So quiet, now go clean the house.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Kari

* Blodeuwedd: -5 to opinion of Moira

* **Calm down.**

... Okay ... (She thinks she's ALWAYS right, but one day... One day, she'll see...)

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Good. Now help me with these rabbits.

* You some lose Raw Meat and get some Cooked Meal

###  How Eirik and Blodeuwedd Met.

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

(Okay... I'll try to show some interest in her life. .. The less I talk to her, the more she is annoying.) So mom... Hmm...

Yes child?

Hmm... How did dad and you meet, again?

...! That's a strange time to ask this question... Are you feeling well?

No, yes, it's just that I was thinking about that lately. But nevermind...

... Your dad was working for my... Father. He was one of his huscarl. Your grandfather wanted that I marry the son of another somewhat important family. But I was young and foolish, and at that time I... Didn't like to be pressured to do something I didn't decided. So I chose a man that was the perfect opposite of the one my dad chose for me... Poor, humble, with no political power or ambition... But with a huge heart. I went to the tavern where the huscarl were drinking, and I made my choice.

Ah! You were quite the wild girl... I think I prefer the you from the past.

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

How did you choose dad in particular?

He was the only one who didn't try to seduce me...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

* Sigh\* I was a real mess aha.

## Blodeuwedd & Moira

 ### Our FIRST Home.

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

I've been thinking about home lately...

Home? Yes, we all miss home, sister, but-...

No, not this home. Our FIRST home.

... Let it go... You don't need to think about that.

But I WANT to remember. Do you remember dad? Our REAL dad.

... I was too young...

I remember mom's voice, when she was singing lullabies for you. But dad... I can't remember even his face.

We were young... And Thorvald was kind to us. It's the only father we had, as far as I'm concerned.

Thorvald, yes... Despite the fact that he killed our REAL family, yes he was rather kind.

... Don't talk about that, you always get upset

You can't understand. You were too young, but I HAVE memories of the life that was stolen from us.

* Moira: -10 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd.

* Moira: +10 Depression.

 ### Overprotective Mother

 This conversation will randomly occur during the natural course of the game.

You should cut some slack to your daughter you know? You're overprotective beyond reason.

... Thanks for your advice, dear sister... But you'll give me some when you raise a child of your own.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to Opinion of Moira.

I'm just giving you an outside view on the situation. She'll just end up hating you.

... That would mean that she's alive... As a mom, that's my TOP priority. Happy and fulfilled come second.

... Is it better to be alive and miserable than to be dead and happy in Valhalla? That applies for all of us, too...

... My belief is that if you're alive, there's a chance for happiness. Even if it's very long, even if it's very hard... Even if there is only the tiniest chance... But the possibility exists. When you're dead... You're dead. So let's keep on believing we'll be happy one day.

* Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait Iron Will permanently.

## Blodeuwedd & Cissé

 ### My People

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

Blodeuwedd... It is such a different name than what I'm used to, I wouldn't even know how to sing it.

I hope you won't write songs about me all day long... I'd prefer you go chop some wood.

Don't be afraid! My mind wanders in a sea of words all day long! I can work AND craft tales at the same time AH AH AH!

I'm afraid you are not focused on the here and now...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Cissé

As a griot, it is my duty to tell the tales of my people. And... now, you are my people.

* **We're not your people**

Don't get the wrong idea... My "people" is my family. You're just a stranger. A strange one too.

We're not related by blood. But I am now, by nature, the witness and keeper of your deeds. I live in your village, you'll live in my songs. And so will this island and all its inhabitants.

You'll have to earn our trust by deeds. Not by words, even beautiful ones.

... I am just an humble servant of history, art and beauty. I wish you could understand... But I can't make you.

* Cissé: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Like they say, crops won't grow before the rain has fallen.

* **What tales would you tell me?**

I'm curious about your lore... Tell me one of your stories.

That will be my pleasure! So... This is the story of the dog who hid his mother. There was a terrible famine in the animal kingdom, so they met, and decided they would eat their mothers. The dog, who didn't want to sacrifice his mother, decided to hide her in the sky. Everyday, once all had killed and eaten their mothers, he sang a song asking his mother to drop a rope. The dog would climb to the sky where his mother would have a feast waiting for him. One day, the tortoise went to the same spot, and, disguising his voice like the dog, he sang the song. But the dog was near and sang to warn her mother, who cut the rope. The tortoise crashed to the ground. This caused tortoise's shell to break into many pieces. He managed to glue these pieces together... And this is why the tortoise has the rough shell we know today.

Hum... I have no idea what a tortoise is, nor what the tale was about...But you told it very well. Thank you Cissé.

* Blodeuwedd: Wisdom +5

 ### Face of Flowers

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

Blodeuwedd, I know how to sing your name, but not its meaning. Where does it come from? It would help me to understand your character, and write the tale.

If you must... Mother told me once it means "Face of Flowers". And before you say it's beautiful... It's just a nicer way to say "freckles".

Like they say, a woman is a flower in a garden, her husband is the fence around it! But I guess in our story, you are both the flower AND the fence!

* **What do you mean?**

I don't know how I should take that...

I think this village would collapse without your strength. Eirik needs you. We all do... So indeed, you'll be the pillar of the tale. The fence around the village.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Cisse.

If you say so... But please, make it more than a tale. Whatever you create, make it useful. I don’t want to be a fence around a graveyard. We don’t need tales yet, we need answers.

As we say in my beloved sunny land, what you learn is what you die with. You are right. I will do my best to unravel the tale of this island. Maybe the trees or the sea will know it. I will listen. I will ask.

* Cisse gains the positive trait  Spirits Wisdom permanently.

* **Enough gibberish!**

This doesn't make any sense, and please, don't serve me another of your old saying... I like you, Cissé, but I don't understand half of what you are saying, most of the time. And what we need right now is knowledge. Not poetry and songs.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Cissé

...

* Cissé: +  Depression

Wisdom is like fire. People take it from others. I've heard you, Blodeuwedd. But what do you want me to do?

I'd like you to look for the secrets of this island. The survival of the "village" may well depend on them. With all your wisdom, I'm sure you could help finding answers.

You are right. I will do my best to unravel the tale of this island. Maybe the trees or the sea will know it. I will listen. I will ask.

* Cissé gains the positive trait Spirits Wisdom permanently.

 ### Spirit's Land

This event only occurs after the previous event "Face of Flowers"

Blodeuwedd, I have given some thought to what we discussed last time... I think the island isn't entirely part of the known world. It may belong to the spirits land.

What do you mean? That we're all already dead? Is it Hel?

No... Spirits are no more dead than you and me. Theyjust live in another land, one that is hard to reach. I feel that we were somehow called here, like the moth is called by the flame. Now the question is, how do we avoid getting burned? Can we decide our fate, or has it been decided?

* **We Were Called?**

What makes you think some kind of spirit called us to this forsaken island?

Well, for once, did you notice how we all speak the same language? I am a scholar among my people, and yet, I have never heard one word of the Norsemen's language.

But you speak my language perfectly!

I don't. It is you who speak mine flawlessly... Or mostly, this is my language that I hear when you speak. This is why I think we were invited here by some powerful spirits.

I can't deny it. That's... unsettling.

As we say in my beloved sunny land... When the gods are cooking, there is no smoke.

* **What About This "Flame"?**

Do you think we're mere insects about to be crushed by a divine power?

We may be as flies caught in Anansi's great web. We thought we came here by our own will, and yet...Our luck was a bit forced, don’t you think? What were the odds for us to meet? Now, that doesn’t mean whatever brought us here is evil. In a way, we have been saved from the sea.

Yes. but living here is difficult... We're barely surviving. Is it some kind of trial from the gods?

A trial it is, of this I have no doubt. But to what purpose? We'll have to find out. Like they say, you always learn a lot more when you lose than when you win.

## Blodeuwedd & Eustache

 ### It's True What They Say.

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

My, oh my... So it's true what they say!

Hmm?

That you can find the purest beauty in the depths of hell...

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Wh-?

We haven't been properly introduced, sorry. Some call me the Black Monk, but you can call me Eustache.

* **I Must Draw a Line Right Away**

Hi Eustache, pleased to meet you. I'm Blodeuwedd, Eirik's wife. Kari right there is our beloved daughter. Don't come near her or I'll smash your skull.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eustache

Wow! I knew when I first saw you that you were passionate! I LOVE it.

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

You love danger, Eustache. Beware, sometimes when you play with fire, you get horribly burnt.

What are a few burns, when a man desires something with all his heart? But rest assured, I won't bother the little girl. It's not her that has piqued my interest.

* **Black Monk?**

Black Monk, but silver tongued... Where did you get this surname?

That's a long story. With all the ingredients: Family, love, hate, power, betrayal, revenge, and a lot of blood. It lacks only a sharp, charismatic dwarf to make it a GREAT story. Couldn't find any. But let's talk about you... Do you have... passions?

l have this amazing passion for my daughter and my husband, if you must know everything.

Wonderful. I don't really know them, but I'm already liking them.

 ### Hey, Princess.

This event only occurs after the previous event "It's True What They Say."

Hey princess, look what I managed to put aside for special occasions...

A bottle? I imagine it's not just water inside.

It's not the finest wine I ever drank, but considering our situation, it will do. Want to share a drink with me?

* **Why Not.**

If you insist... What's the harm.

* Blodeuwedd: -  Depression

It was another tough day, we deserve some little dirty pleasures.

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* Eustache: -  Depression

Is your God okay with dirty pleasures?

... I don't always play by the rules. What fun would it be?

You're a strange man of faith, Eustache. You seem nothing like ours.

You'll soon notice that I'm not like any other man you have ever known...

I don't know if I should be intrigued, or terrified.

A little of both, maybe.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eustache

* **No, Thanks.**

???

 ### Something Wrong, Princess?

This event only occurs after the previous event "Hey, Princess."

...

...Something's wrong, princess?

Huh? No, no... Everything's fine, thank you.

You can tell me you know.

It's nothing. I get worked up with myself sometimes. It's nothing.

It's your husband, isn't it?

...Sometimes I fear that he has lost any hope. I'm fed up with his constant moping.

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eirik

...In life, some people fight to the end, and some run away.

But maybe when there's no hope to win, running away is the wisest solution?

Life has taught me the hard way that being wise rarely gets you anywhere. You must fight, you must bite... And sometimes, you must do bad things... Someone else will eventually try to play dirty tricks on you, so you must fight with the same weapons.

* **I'd do Anything for My Family.**

It's true that I‘d do anything for my family. Anything. It scares me sometimes.

You and I share that same strength of will, I felt it instantly.

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Eirik doesn't have that, sadly. He wants to keep his hands clean.

* Eustache: -10 to opinion of Eirik

We'll have to dirty our hands ourselves, without him.

* **Strange Morals for a Monk.**

You really have a weird way of thinking for a monk... I'm starting to believe less and less what you said about your past.

... I may have skipped a few details.

You're not a real monk, are you?

I was...At some point in my life. But then things got a little more... Complicated...
I had to dirty my hands. Then there was no coming back.
But that's another tale, it doesn't matter anymore.

 ### Eustache's Past, I

This event only occurs after Eustache's family event, "The Black Monk".

Eustache, I wondered, how did you become a pirate? You were born in a pirate clan?

Aha no. I made my own fate. Or fate made me who I am, maybe. l was born youngest son of a noble family in Boulogne. I was kind and shy at the time, so I decided to leave home to become a monk in a nearby abbey.

It went wrong at some point, no?

Yes... Sooner than I expected... My father was assassinated a few months later. And soon my elder brothers. I swore to God to take revenge for my family's blood! I fled to another country and learned the noble art of killing with a sword. When I came back, I was quickly enrolled by the count of Boulogne to become its seneschal, a prestigious position. But I must be boring you to death with this story... Let's talk about you, princess. What is your secret?

I have no secrets Eustache. I make a very disappointing story compared to yours.

I'll tell you the end of my story another time, then. Here, have a taste of this french wine I kept for the two of us!

 ### Eustache's Past, II

This event only occurs after the previous event, "Eustache's Past, I".

You didn't finish your story last time... Don't you dare die before finishing it!

For you, I‘ll TRY to stay alive then!

Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

However... That would mean that you'd protect me with your life until I tell you the end. It's an interesting perspective...

Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

I call it blackmail!

Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eustache

Come on, tell me now. Did you avenge your father?

Sadly, I did. When I was at the service of the count of Boulogne, I felt I gained his respect from years of loyal service. When I felt I was in position to do so, I pleaded my case to my lord. I only asked for my rightful titles back, and to clear my name. The count offered me a trial where I could explain my case, saying he'd give me his support. But I was a fool... I was a candid novice with noble politics, he played me like a child. This arrogant scumbag legally stripped me of all my family titles and lands. That's when I became a monster... I put him to the sword, burned his castle to the ground, and fled the country.

...

I learned a few years later that he was the one who gave the order to assassinate my father. So you see... I killed him not by a noble act of vengeance... But just because he took me for a fool.

Eustache: +  Depression

* **He was right to do it**

You know... I think I understand your feelings. You're not a monster. You're just human. We do things to survive, no matter the price. You tried to take the right path, but others made you stray from it.

Eustache: +20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

... You don't understand. I LIKE the path I took. After I slayed the count, I freed myself from the chains. No more lord, no more revenge, no more country... Just me, and the sea. I could live the life I wanted, removing people who got in my way.

Freedom... I never felt really free. I'll tell you about my past another time. It's good talking to you.

Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

* **He's Dangerous**

I see... I shall remember not to fool you...

Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Eustache

What can I say... You wanted the truth... I AM a dangerous person, living a dangerous life. And I love it. I feel alive. Life's too short to settle down and die out of boredom.

Believe me, raising a child is not a boring task. A difficult task, but never dull.

With me, you'd never have to live like a slave. You'd live like a princess.

...

 ### Eirik's Leadership.

Blodeuwedd, can I be completely honest with you?

... You can, and you SHOULD.

I've heard people questioning Eirik's leadership... They fear our leader is too... soft... to handle the infamous Björn and his goons.

... And you, what do you think?

I don't mean no disrespect to your husband, but... I think they're right.

* Eustache: -20 to opinion of Eirik

...

* **I have my doubts, too**

To be completely honest, I have my doubts too...

* [[Blodeuwedd]: -20 to opinion of Eirik

I don't recognise him. He doesn't seem to believe in our future.

* Blodeuwedd: +  Depression

...

* [[Eustache]: +20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Please Eustache... Don't tell anyone I said that. If I have a slim chance of saving my couple... I don't want to destroy it...

... You can trust me... It will be our dirty little secret...

* [[Blodeuwedd]: +10 to opinion of Eustache

* **I trust him.**

I trusted him all these years, and he never failed me. I won't withdraw my support when he needs it most

Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik

Of course, of course... Love...

Eustache: -20 to opinion of Eirik

Love? What‘s that got to do with it?

Everything! That's why I never allowed myself to fall in love with a crew member... Makes you blind to reason... And when you fight on a floating piece of wood... You need to keep both eyes wide open.

* Can this event trigger when Eustache is the only recruited survivor?

 ### Necklace of Flowers.

My dear Blodeuwedd, could you come please? Close your eyes! I have a surprise for you...

I'm not sure I like... Oh!

*Eustache put his hands on Blodeuwedd's eyes and pressed his chest on her back, guiding her to his room. She felt his breathing on her neck... She was not used to this kind of proximity with another man.*

TADAAAA! You can open your eyes now!

What the...!

*Eustache was holding a beautiful necklace made of flowers, presenting it to Blodeuwedd.*

I made it for you! In compensation for all that you do for us, all day long!

That's... Unexpected...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eustache

Oh, but don't worry, that was just the beginning! Here... I've... found... some things for you... Healing powders, some sausage, a good beer... Everything you see here is ONLY for you! Don't you dare share it with anyone! I don't want to reward your sister for slacking off all day long! Aha!

That's...

* **Wonderful!**

I-... I'm at a loss for words... It's been a while that... someone took care of me like that.

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

I'm blushing like a little girl ah ah... you're happy now?

Seeing you smile is the best reward I could imagine.

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Thank you Eustache. By the way, how did you find all these things?

Let's just say that I took a little "tribute" from that stinking bastard Elof...

You're crazy...

Crazily handsome, I know! Ah ah! I live by one rule... If you want something... Take it.

...

* Blodeuwedd: -  Depression  Sickness  Hunger  Fatigue  Injury

* **Awkward...**

I can't accept your gifts, Eustache... The others are suffering. I would be ashamed to not share these precious resources.

Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait  Unselfish permanently.

Aha, I KNEW you would say that... That's why I like you so much. Do as you will, they're all yours. Goodnight, my dear friend.

Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Blodeuwedd diligently brought all the goods to the reserve.

She looked at her hands, still holding the flower necklace.

* **Throw it away.**

It would not be appropriate to keep it. She let the wind blow it far away.

Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

* **Keep it.**

???

 ### Guard Duty.

*It's another rather depressing night... Everyone went to bed early. Only Blodeuwedd and Eustache are awake, on guard duty.*

...

... You know what we need? Beer...

It's true that... I wouldn't say no.

TADAAA!!!

* +  Beer

Where did you find...? Wait, I don't care... Give it to me! Ah ah.

*They shared a good bottle of beer around the campfire, under the moonlight.*

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache both gain the negative trait  Drunk for 1 day.

You want to play a game? Listen... WHO am I... "Urgh! Gross! You don't understand me pfff! You're so lame!"

Ah ah ah! That's her, that's my daughter!

Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eustache

And this one... "I'm so horny that I could sleep with a troll... Here, take this potion, it will make your cock hard..."

AHAHAH! You're good at this game, Eustache!

Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

My turn... Hmm... "I'm so depressed, please... Give me rope to hang myself... Sorry honey, I failed this family..."

BWAHAHA!!! Better than the original!

Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Ahaha! Aha... It's good to laugh...

* Blodeuwedd: -  Depression

Oh! Do me, now!

... I'm not sure if it's a good idea...

Please! For me...

Erm... \*clears throat\* "I'm the most beautiful creature on earth, and yet I'll die on this shithole... I should be a queen!"

...

...

Pffrrtt...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eustache

You will pay for that!

*She started to mock-wrestle him, she bit and she clawed, bursting into laughter. Eustache finally got the upper hand, he ensnared a giggling Blodeuwedd in his arms.*

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache both gain the positive trait  Excited for 5 and 3 days respectively.

*Their faces were so close now... he slowly caressed her cheek with his beard. He softly, yet firmly, placed his hand on the back of her neck... Staring into her eyes... He slowly approached his lips...*

...

* **Give in.**

*Blodeuwedd let go of all her worries, and let Eustache kiss her. Their embrace was passionate, as if there were no tomorrow. They totally forgot where they were... It felt so good.*

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache: -  Depression

*Eustache slid his hand along her waist... and started to strip her of her pants...*

*she whispered* No... Eustache... We can't...

You're sure...? Tomorrow, we may be dead...

...

*Blodeuwedd firmly pushed him back.*

It was a BIG mistake. It shouldn't... It never happened.

... You can pretend it never happened, but I'll remember this kiss forever...

... Cherish the thought, that's all you'll get from me!

*She stuck her tongue at him and went back to the shelter, confused.*

...

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* **Stop!**

Eustache... Stop... It's wrong...

But what is wrong is generally... good... isn't it?

N-... no. We can't..

Blodeuwedd firmly pushed him back.

Eustache: +

I‘m sorry princess... I thought we had something here...

Eustache: - to Opinion of Blodeuwedd

 ### Stolen Apple.

This event occurs during the day.

By Loki's degenerate sons! I'll kill him!

* Blodeuwedd: gains the negative trait  Angry for 3 days.

What happened?!

One of Björn's grunt.. He stole an apple from me!

Ah... You scared me, I thought someone died...

You won't do anything?! They can crush us, we won't retaliate?!

... Honey, be reasonable... I don't want to look for trouble with Björn just for... an apple.

Uuuuurgh! You don't understand! It makes us look WEAK. Today, an apple. Tomorrow, what? All of our water supplies?

Don't amplify the problem... Calm down.

*Blodeuwedd continued to yell at Eirik for a while. Eustache watched the scene with great interest.*

* {{Blodeuwedd]] & Eirik: -20 to topinion of each other.

*Time passed, Blodeuwedd went into the forest to take it out on some poor trees... That's when Eustache came out of the shadows.*

Hey... Here, catch.

...?

*He threw an apple at her, that she skillfully caught.*

* +  Fresh Fruit

What the...?

And I have a few more... I caught your thief. For you.

* +  Fresh Fruit

Why did you do this?

Someone had to do something. Eirik is afraid of Björn's sneezing. I'm not.

...

* **Thank you.**

Thank you Eustache...

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

We may be more alike than I initially thought...

I told you. We're the same.

* Eustache: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

...

* Blodeuwedd: loses the negative trait  Angry that she gained earlier during the event.

* **You didn't have to do this.**

You shouldn't have put your nose in this. It's a matter between my husband and I.

...Okay, okay... Sorry to have done exactly what you wanted. You can keep the apples... I prefer meat. Red meat.

 ### A Break from the Chores.

This event occurs during the day.

*Blodeuwedd was yet again doing all the chores in the shelter. All the others were either taking a nap, or out of the camp exploring. Usually, she wouldn't mind, but... today it was bit harder to bear.*

* Blodeuwedd: +  Fatigue

* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait Depressed for 4 days.

... You come with me. And I won't take no for an answer.

Not now Eustache, I still have to wash all the clothes, and-...

Shhh. Follow me. It‘s a matter of life and death.

*He took Blodeuwedd's arm and led her to a clearance in the forest, by a river.*

Here, it seems perfect. Sit here now.

You're starting to annoy me, Eustache. What is the matter?

The matter is thatI have a good meal right here, a bottle of beer, and even some cheese. We'll eat and drink here, enjoying the cold breeze and the delicate sound of water.

... Well... I guess I can take a small break...

You have to! I'm your personal healer, and I forbid you to not enjoy this time off from your daily chores!

*They ate and drank lying on the grass, among flowers, talking, laughing...*

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache: -  Hunger  Depression  Fatigue

Okay... That was actually really nice... Thank you Eustache, you're full of surprises...

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

But now I have to get back to...

Shhh! You heard?

*Eustache jumped on his feet and walked silently to a nearby thicket.*

Look... Two of Björn's men... They are hiding something in this... cave...

*They hid until the men were out of sight.*

Wanna go check on their treasure?

* **An adventure!**

Hmm... Since we are here...

*They sneaked into the cave. They quickly found a locked chest.*

I'll open it!

*Eustache started to fiddle with the lock, when... A bear entered the cave! Blodeuwedd took her axe and fought with the bear. She ended up injured, but slayed the beast.*

* Blodeuwedd: +  Injury

*Eustache managed to open the chest, to find... Some dirty clothes...*

* +  Fabric

At least, we know what we will be eating tonight...

Yes... Ah ah... AHAHAHAH!

AHAHAHAH!

* Eustache gains the positive trait Excited for 4 days.

*The two of them continued laughing for a while, sitting on the bear's corpse.*

* +  Raw Meat  Pelts

...

You see... You're not made for this boring housewife life... You're made for the thrill! The adventure! That IS who you really are. Don't fight your inner self, Blodeuwedd.

* Eustache: +20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

... \*sigh\* Maybe...

* Blodeuwedd: +20 to opinion of Eustache

* **Too dangerous.**

???

 ### Return to the Cave.

This event occurs after the previous event, "A Break from the Chores".

\*whispers\* Come to the bear cave after dinner, tonight...

*Eustache disappeared. Blodeuwedd was confused... What was it this time? She had not had time to protest, so if she didn't come, Eustache would wait for hours... She felt tricked, but at the same time, excited by a night out of adventures with the bold pirate.*

* Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait  Excited for 5 days.

*She discreetly went to the cave, her heart racing. She saw some lights coming from inside the cave. Careful! Could it be enemies? She took her axe in hand. She entered, ready to strike, when... Her jaw dropped... the cave was filled with candles. Flower petals entirely covered the ground. In the centre of the room animal skins covered the floor along with a few bottles of beer. She was astounded by the effort Eustache had put into arranging the cave... All that just for her?*

* Blodeuwedd: +40 to opinion of Eustache

*But... One piece was still missing... Where the Hel was Eustache? She slowly walked around the cave, looking for him. She started to get worried, when... Eustache suddenly appeared just behind her, a devilish smile on his face. She turned around, ready to make a snarky comment. But as soon as she faced the handsome pirate, he... Ripped off her robes! She stood there, dumbfounded, with her bare chest... She saw the mischievous smile on Eustache's face. Immature, wild, crazy and she had to admit, she was drawn to him.*

Oh you... Come here, I'll make you pay!

*As she raised her axe, Eustache ran away laughing. Soon cornered, he face her. She gave him a faintly irritated look, but she was getting more and more excited. He knew that she wanted him... He disarmed her easily, and made a step forward, a bold look on his face.*

\*Slap\* That's for my clothes, you evil rogue.

* Eustache: +  Injury

Now that we are even, a kiss maybe?

Come and get it, if you dare...

*He stepped forward and gave her a passionate kiss. She slapped him again, this time Eustache's cheek bled from the blow.*

* Eustache: +  Injury

*But this time... Blodeuwedd kissed him in return! She grabbed his hair and pulled hard as their embrace was more passionate than ever. This time, he removed her remaining clothes, slowly, one by one. She fondled his crotch... then wordlessly, she turned her back and lay down on the beast skins.*

Come. Now. And show me those fencing skills, pirate...

*They made wild love and drank for hours, until they finally fell asleep, out of strength.*

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache: +  Fatigue

* Blodeuwedd & Eustache: -  Depression

*In the morning, Blodeuwedd woke up, with a good headache...*

* Blodeuwedd gains the negative trait  Hangover for 1 day.

*She looked at the naked Eustache still sleeping like a baby, beside her.*

...

* **I feel... ALIVE!**

\*sigh\*... It feels good.

* Blodeuwedd: +60 to opinion of Eustache

* **What have I done...?**

???

 ### Are You Coming With Me?

So... You come?

... Where?

Anywhere. You're not made for this life... You know it, now, deep inside.

...

It's true love that we share. I've never felt anything like this before.

* Eustache gains the positive trait  In Love permanently.

With you by my side... I'm invincible! We'll roam the seven seas in search of booty, wreaking havoc on our enemies! We'll be feared and loved... As the king and queen of the seas!

...

* **Yes...**

I'll make you a promise.

* Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait  In Love permanently.

We finish this story with Björn. We bring peace to this island. And then... I'll follow you anywhere.

... Deal.

*After that fateful talk, Eustache became more motivated than anyone to overthrow Björn...*

* Eustache gains the positive trait  Hyper Motivated permanently.

* **No.**

## Blodeuwedd & Gudrun

 ### Where Do You Come From?

So, where do you come from?

You come from little Jarl Haraldson's village, hmm?

... \*I\* was asking the question, but... Yes. And you?

Hmmhmm...

...

Little Magnus was a good boy, hmmhmm...

You knew him?

AH! Of course I knew him, foolish girl! You weren't even a - stupid - idea in the mind of your parents that I foretold his future!

Blodeuwedd -10 to opinion of Gudrun

And he always brought me soup teeheehee...

...

* **What did you see?**

Did the gods speak to you?

Yes,yes... Very kind boy. Brought me soup everytime.

... Were you the court Völva?

Yes! Everyday! A good hot soup for old Gudrun teeheehee...

... Okay I get it, you want some soup... I'll bring some to you...

Gudrun -  Hunger

Is it dinner already? No wonder you're so fat if you eat between meals, girl!

Blodeuwedd +  Depression

* **So you come from our village?**

???

 ### Healing Salves

You could make some healing salves for us?

What?

HEALING SALVES!

I heard! No need to scream like a fishwife! WHAT you need healing for, dumb girl? And before you ask, I don't have a potion to cure your idiocy.

...

* **I feel depressed**

Then replace your husband. Kekekekekekekeke...

Very funny.

Here, take this balm.

* Player receives Celandine Ointment.

... Are you SURE it will work?

Don't know. That's all that I have. Try it, and you'll tell me if you feel better.

... Grumble...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Gudrun

* **My wounds hurt**

???

* **I'm feeling sick**

???

* **I'm feeling tired**

???

 ### Guidance

Gudrun... I-... I need your guidance on something.

Ditch your husband.

What?! No... What? No... That's not what... How would you know it was about Eirik?

When women come asking for guidance, half of the time it's because they want to leave their husband. And for the other half... It's not bad advice nonetheless. Teeheeheee.

Can you... Can you ask the runes for me? Please.

Hrmpff... You already have the answer...

...

... But I guess it can't hurt to ask the runes... Bring me some food.

Here! Do you need something else for the ritual?

No. I was just hungry. So... What do you want to ask the gods? Choose well.

* **What should I do?**

AH! THAT is a good question!

* Gudrun: +20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Not like the other ones you had in mind... Stupid girl. The gods say...

You don't throw the runes?

PWAH! That's just a cheap trick. The real thing is right here, in my head. So... THE GODS SAY... Tchh I lost it! Sorry girl, you made me lose the connection.

Can't you try again?

IT'S GONE! So now get lost, you're making me mad.

* Gudrun gains the trait  Angry for 3 days.

* **What should I do with Björn?**

The gods say... Kill him.

How?

USE THE SNAKE.

The snake?

THE SNAKE HE BITES. BUT ITS VENOM HE STRIKES.
THE SNAKE'S LAIR IS THE KEY. SHOW MERCY TO YOUR ENEMY.

* **What should I do with Kari?**

Has the same output as the following answer.

* **What should I do with Eirik?**

*Gudrun throws some runic stones and stares at them for a while.*

The gods say... Ditch your husband.

Really??

Stupid girl! Do you think the gods worry about your insignificant problems?! THEY don't care. I don't care. So now get lost and deal with it.

* Blodeuwedd: +  Depression

## Blodeuwedd & Parvaneh

 ### Tomoe and Moira

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

This Tomoe... Does she have to wear that sulking face of hers all the time? Sheesh... I've never seen someone who doesn't like people as much as her!

She’s a bit cold, it’s true. But she’s nice.

Not to me!

* Parvaneh: -20 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

You know who she seems to be VERY nice to?

...?

Your sister... Moira. A little bird told me that these two... Heeheehee…

* Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

## Blodeuwedd & Shanaw

 ###  Tribe Mother.

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

Are you mother of tribe?

I am Kari's mother... And this is already a full-timejob, believe me.

Yes. Shanaw knows. But are you mother of the tribe?

Heh, who am I kidding? In a way, yes, I suppose I am.

Is husband good to you?

Of course! He takes care of us. We would have been burned alive in our own house if he didn't.

...

What about you, Shanaw?

* **Where is your family?**

???

* Shanaw: + Depression

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait Tribe Mother permanently.

* **Do you have a husband?**

Do you have a lover, someone who cares about you, who's waiting for you in your tribe?

... No. NO! SHANAW NO HUSBAND!

...! Okay... Okay... Sorry to pry... Forget it. (Something must have happened... She's furious. And scared.)

Sorry... Tribe Mother nice with Shanaw, but Shanaw yell.

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

 ### Hunting with Shanaw

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

Tribe Mother! Will you go hunting with Shanaw tomorrow?

Hunting? This isn't really my trade, Shanaw. I could, but I think I'm more useful here at the camp.

Does husband forbid Celestial Vixen from going hunting?

No, no... Eirik doesn't forbid me from doing anything... he is not like that.

... Really, Tribe Mother?

Yes, Shanaw. Why don’t you believe me?

* **Tell me what really happened to you.**

???

* **Is something wrong?**

You don’t look well. Bad memories?

... For days, we played and we played, and was great fun. But didn't end well.

What didn't end well? What happened, Shanaw?

... Shanaw was getting husband. Was supposed to be fun. Was supposed to be fun... But didn't end well!

Why? You can tell me.

Shanaw don’t know. Shanaw sleep now, Tribe Mother.

* Shanaw: + Depression

## Blodeuwedd & Lady Tomoe

### Spirit of Revenge

Lady Blodeuwedd, please have a seat.

You can drop the "lady", Tomoe. As long as I can remember, no one has called me that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. In my former life, respect was a very important part of our lives.

In our land, men and women earn respect by strength alone. It must seem barbaric to you.

... Not really. Strength and honor are two faces of the same coin in my belief. And to me, you seem to have both.

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe.

Aha, you'll make me blush Tomoe! I take my strength from my family, they deserve all the credit. I may be too nosy, but... Did you have children?

... Yes. I had. They're all dead now.

* Lady Tomoe: +  Depression

I'm sorry...

* Blodeuwedd: +  Depression

I gained another type of strength since I lost them. I use the unbearable pain of their loss against my enemies.

* Lady Tomoe: +20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

* Lady Tomoe gains the positive trait  Spirit of Revenge permanently.

I understand... I'm sure you'll make them proud.

## Blodeuwedd & Yaghoub

 ### Far from Home

You're far from Persia... How did you end up here?

Hmm... There was this terrible storm... Some reefs... And my poor navigator's skills.

No, I meant, where were you heading before wrecking here?

I was selling some carpets and jewels to some of your norse lords, don't remember the name. You should have seen those carpets! Pure BEAUTIES! Crafted by the best, with the best materials! And for the best price, of course!

Hmm...

* **What a coincidence...**

That's a crazy coincidence... A merchant from Persia, doing trade on norse land, our land...

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Yaghoub

... and wrecking on the same uncharted island as us...

...

What are you implying, Blodeuwedd? I don't follow your reasoning.

* Yaghoub: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

I don't know... There is something strange, but I can't say what.

The fabled woman's intuition, perhaps?

Sorry to disappoint you, Blodeuwedd, but I have been trading goods with your people for a decade...

And concerning our arrival on this island... Like you, I have no answer.

Maybe we will find something on this island, or someone, who will be able to unveil the mystery?

Hmm...

* Blodeuwedd: intelligence +5

* **Selling human girls too?**

What about Parvaneh? She was to be sold too?

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Yaghoub

Of course NOT! Do I look like a slaver to you?!

Honestly...

AH! You hurt my feelings, Blodeuwedd!

* Yaghoub: -30 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

I never, hear what I say, NEVER sold any slave, to anyone! Oh yes, I could have made much profit... I know that! But my honor would be forever tainted! A man without honor is worth nothing! Nothing!

A man, yes... But a merchant...?

... A merchant with honor is just... Poor.

 ### Parvaneh's Story

Yaghoub... It's been a while now that you have been staying with us...

Indeed! And I can't thank you enough for that, Blodeuwedd!

You see that you can trust us? And I think that we can trust you, if only...

Hmm...?

If only you'd tell us the truth about Parvaneh. You are hiding something. How can you ask for our trust, if you don't trust yourself in the first place?

* Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Yaghoub

... Okay, okay... You've won. It seems I'm a bad liar too... Maybe that's why I'm a bad merchant. He he. I'll tell you her story. Parvaneh was a dancer at the court of the mad king Shahryar. The king one day found his wife copulating with another man... And executed her. He decided that EVERY woman was a devious creature... He would now marry a new virgin girl every day... And execute her after the wedding night... Parvaneh was in a dire situation... Her dazzling beauty soon drew the king's attention... She was to become his thirty-fifth wife. Luckily, the daughter of the Great Vizir and her childhood friend, Scheherazade, came up with a plan. She asked that I abduct Parvaneh the morning of her wedding, and leave to never return. I couldn't say no... I was in debt to Scheherazade. And I am a man of honor.

... Why does she seem to hate you, then?

Ah... I fear that our little exile was not to her liking... Sadly, the mad king's spies are everywhere... So I couldn't let her out of her room, in the ship's hold.

For how long?

...

Years.

...!

* **At least she's alive.**

By the gods... The captivity must have driven her crazy...

* Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Parvaneh

... I offered her one thousand and one gifts to ease her captivity... That's mostly why I was broke ah ah. It helped in the beginning, but... it didn't replace living a real life.

* **What happened to her children?**

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but... You said "children".

Ah... Yes, Thormod is our youngest son, but he had brothers and sisters back home. Sadly they all... You know...

* Solveig: +  Depression

... I'm so sorry, Solveig.

'\*sniff\* They all were taken by a disease. One after another... \*sniff\* None of them survived long enough to see their twelfth birthday...

* **How did they end up here?**

And how did you end up here?

... One day, the Jarl's guards stormed our house. They were rough, and took us to endure the Jarl's judgement. We were expelled from our village, condemned to run as exiles as far as possible. And... I don't even know why! My husband doesn't want to tell me the reason... He has been silent since then.

Hrmm... Reminds me of someone...

 ###  Childhood

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

What was your childhood like?

Oh! I grew up in a laaarge family! I had dozen of brothers and sisters! And I was the youngest! \*Teehee\*

It must have been a real mess!

Oh it was! The house was full of life and sounds all day long. My parents were poor, so the meals were scarce... The punishments were plentiful though... But I loved growing up in this large family, it always warmed my heart. I don't like to be alone, I guess! \*Teehee\*

* **And then?**

And then?

Then... I married a strong and handsome warrior of the clan!

Knut?... Erm... I thought he was a blacksmith?

Oh, he was a warrior when I met him! He wasn't home very much... Always pillaging gods know which village... I didn't ask! Each time he came back home, he gave me a child! \*Teehee\*

Hmpf... Men... When they win a battle in blood, they want to win a battle in beds!

Ahaha yes! I didn't mind! I had my big family at least!

* Solveig: -  Depression

* **I would love a big family, but...**

 ###  Limping

Solvieg?

Yes?

I can't help but notice that you are limping today. Were you hurt?

AH! Aha, yes, I'm such a klutz... I bumped into a barrel this morning. You should have seen me! I fell on the floor head first, it was ridiculous!

You could have hurt yourself really bad!

Nooo... Don't worry, I'm used to little scratches!
