Signy unstoppers the vial and helps Fastvi drink the bitter liquid. The jarl's daughter winces in pain as she does but soon relaxes as the injury heals. She looks at her sister Runa with a puzzled look on her face "Runa, is everything okay?".

Runa stands close by in an awkward, rigid posture. Her eyes roll back in her head and a deep voice booms from her throat quite unnaturally "A storm is coming to sweep all away. Father will die from bloodied ice. The raven calls for us all.” After a moments stunned silence her eyes snap to and she looks back at you a little embarrassed "What, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me?". A punishing drowsiness comes over you all of a sudden. Entranced, Little Runa's eyes dilate and she turns and starts walking straight for the edge of the meadow, the wee dog yipping about her ankles. Inga crashes to the ground, comatose. Fastvi slumps unconscious too. As overwhelming fatigue assails you, you catch a faint glimpse of movement in the shadows of the treeline ahead of Runa. Then the world spins and the soft ground comes up to catch you as you pass into slumber...

The faint snap of a breaking branch in the tree line catches your attention. Looking in that direction, you can just make out the dark forms of two burly men, well armed and armored, crouching in the shadows of the brush. They hold between them something large and heavy, a shield-sized stone plate with carvings on it. A rather tattered and dirty old woman is standing behind them, muttering to herself and waving her arms above the stone tablet.

.................................................. .............................

You wake up, your head splitting in pain that no amount of mead or ale could have produced, and blood trickles from ears, noses, and even eyes. Your mouth is a dry roadbed paved with molded sail cloth. Signy holds her head, wiping the blood from her face best she can. The sun is slanting down in a mid-afternoon glare — you have been unconscious for several hours. Bees buzz among the flowers in the meadow. Of the girls — and your horses for that matter — there is no sign. The only other living creature you see is the mangy stray dog claimed by Little Runa. It licks at your faces as if happy for you to wake up.

You note two flattened spots in the tall meadow grass where Inga and Fastvi must have lain. Booted footprints surround these two locations.
