A Desperate Bounty was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
Description[]
Eivor encountered a man asking for help dealing with bandits.
Dialogue[]
Eivor came across a man yelling for help.
- Hrorek: The jarl needs help! Come, if you have courage!
- Eivor: Which jarl?
- Hrorek: He has been taken by bandits. Come, quickly!
- Eivor: A jarl taken by bandits?
- Hrorek: If you are as brave as you appear, you will come.
Hrorek got on his horse, leading Eivor to the bandits.
- Hrorek: The jarl will be grateful, trust me! We are almost there! Hurry, or they will kill him.
- Eivor: Kill him? Do they not want a ransom?
- Hrorek: Just hurry. We are near. Go on, they are up ahead.
- Eivor: You know where they are. You lead.
- Hrorek: Fine. Follow me.
Eivor and Hrorek reached a clearing where Eivor was ambushed by bandits while Hrorek cowered to the side.
- Bandit: Kjotve has no power here!
Eivor killed all the bandits and confronted Hrorek.
- Eivor: This pathetic gamble has cost them their lives.
- Hrorek: They threatened to kill me if I did not help.
- Eivor: So to save your life, you led others to their death.
- Hrorek: Our village was burned by Kjotve the Cruel. We had to flee to the forest. Those who survived grew mean and desperate. Olaf, one of the men you killed, said we had to fight for our land. But he only wanted to kill for silver.
- Eivor: You picked the wrong fight. I am of Raven Clan and Kjotve's sworn enemy.
- Hrorek: Then we share a common foe, and I was wrong to use you like that.
- Eivor: Your second mistake was choosing me as your prey.
- Hrorek: That was not a mistake. You looked like a good fighter. I was hoping you would kill or weaken Olaf so I could escape.
- Eivor: You are young and still foolish, so I will spare you your life. But cross me again or harm anyone I cherish, and you will join your friends in Helheim's foul forests.
- Hrorek: Y-you will never see me again! I will be a white rabbit in the snow!
Hrorek ran away
Outcome[]
Eivor took out all bandits that ambushed her.
