Kingdom's End Chapter 3 - Symbel Report

General Summary

The warband was invited to a local Symbel to honor the Ealdorman who was visiting to collect the food rent from his Thegns. During the Symbel, the warband had intended to make several boasts to try and gain favor but things quickly became complicated.   Huw the Scop was cornered by the wife of Ealdorman, Osma, who blackmailed him into going after a relic called the sword of Beric. Aesc heard more of the plight of Sister Felberta and agreed to rescue her from the minster once the warband left town. While this was happening, Ketillogh found out that a Thegn named Andhere was seeking the sword of Beric as well to win the hand of the Reeve's daughter Egefride.   A series of unfortunate events later, the party had agreed to work with Andhere to retrieve the sword and boasted that they would find it or die trying. Andhere revealed that he believed that the blade was in the possession of a Dane named Ivar Ivarsson who was assembling a force of raiders in Jorvik.
