We played a game of Battle Troll, hopefully the start of a campaign.
The four sons of the aging hero Ragnar have been sent on a raid to prove which one should fill dad's hairy britches.
The hero that grabs the most loot and returns to the longship in time, wins the honors.
The village to be plundered.
The appropo libations brought by Dan: beer from Iceland. Pretty good!
And the pig grab begins in earnest...
One of my karls grabs two pigs and heads for the longship, but Nate's hero "Carl", sends his boys to liberate them for themselves.
Dan's hero Halvar heads for a hut and some pigs.
Howard's band led by his hero Ingvar grabs some pigs and searches a house.
Halvar finds a house full of locals, 2 of which are ready to fight. One dies, but the other sends an axe into Halvar's foot, depriving him of a few toes.
Enemy reinforcements arrive and attack Howard. One throws a javelin into one of Howard's karls. It doesn't improve his health.
Ingvar drops one of the horsemen, but in turn is gravely wounded in the shoulder.
I searched two huts and after a small skirmish and chasing children around a table, came away with 2 captives and a barrel of beer.
The mad dash to the boat as the tide goes out.
In the end, Ingvar came away with 3 pigs and 3 horses (and one less functioning arm), Halvar and Karl had 4 pigs each, and I came in last with 2 prisoners and an barrel of beer.
