Kingdom's End Chapter 5 - The King of Jorvik Report

General Summary

The Group were invited to meet King Guthred in his court, only to find that he was a most unusual King who followed none of the customs associated with the role. He came to sit at their table and immediately offered them to join his personal guard. He talked about his changes to economic policy to fix the issue with coins by issuing more coins with less precious metals in them, which immediately drew concern. Despite his clearly optimism, he was very charismatic, and the war-band started to like his less than Kingly nature, but polity refused any oath that would force him into his service. The King's Councilors seemed better suited to their positions and quickly guided the group to assist them with a few issues around Jorvik that could use their help within exchange for some well-earned coin (and not the devaluation kind). They also discovered their quarry Ivar Ivarsson was to the north in an encampment and that the Councilors too wished to understand his intentions. Felberta's identity was discovered by the local Bishop, leading the group to worry how safe she was here. Huw discovered a long-lost enemy was in town searching for him, drawn by the words of one of his companions spoken in the wrong company so the group decided they should take the missions outside of the city to escape town for a few days.
