The norscan shaman will let you keep the sword at his back "you can kill me, but i dont think youll like the outcome. its your call" he sits calmly, as if unafraid of death. The norscans swivel, but the shaman waves them back. "i dont fear death, old jormung has been a constant companion through my years. if it's my time, it's my time"

the smoke will circle around, and wait.

your call
