CYOA - Raid and Plunder pg. 13
By Elenwe Yngling
TURNING ASIDE TO PLUNDER HERE
Tails it is, so off you go… You cant be bothered sailing further anyway and there is much plunder to be had here. Youre not feeling picky about where you obtain it and nothing really frightens you anyway. This is just as good a place as any and you might as well do all the villages and towns along this stretch of coast. The more the merrier. You are feeling very confident in yourself and in your men’s abilities to succeed, regardless of the rune you pulled. Maybe the runes lied. You weren’t always sure whether to really believe that mumbo jumbo. In any case you don’t really care as you cup more honeymead out of the barrel. You brought a number of kegs for your voyage to keep the beserkers happy and right now it is party time. After that you reckon you will hit the closest village first. Make it real nice and easy… So you drink and wait for cover of darkness to guide the drakkar in towards a sheltered cove. There you set anchor. Its only over the ridge to the next village and you are sure to make it back in a couple of hours or so. Then you can drink some more and go fight again. Drinking, women and fighting. It was your motto and main activity in life. The rest was just extra stuff you didn’t need. But the plunder from your upcoming raids would be rather good and make a nice trade bonus at the quarterly markets in Dublin. While you let your musings wander, you become distracted from your purpose and miss seeing the dark figures creeping up by the rocks. You are surrounded but don’t yet realize it. The men, half drunk and ready to pillage also seem to be pre-occupied, each wandering off into their own thoughts as they psyched up into a beserker rage. But the enemy shadowed all around was well aware of this battle bloodlust, and had prepared for it, for they too were beserkers. You had unwittingly hit on their territory and now they wanted to show you the door. But they had an even better plan in store for you than just the sword and you were about to find out. It was you who was going to be raided and plundered, right down to taking the clothes off your back. For those who survived it would be a humiliating experience and those who died, a blessing. But you weren’t to know the full story. It wasn’t your fate. You were the first one killed when the roaring shadows leapt out from the rocks and that is all your drunken brain was able to register before your head exploded and you were sent packing down into the underworld of snakes at the root of the world tree.
