After a couple of days, Torsten Halvorsen and his men had crossed the hills into the low country now they were back in their own lands. As they neared the settlement of Sakertstalle they were met by the village headman - who asked for their help to defend the village against a band of marauders that were in the area ...

3. The Marauders:
I've been working on improving some of the scenic items...
I'd thatched a small Conflix barn a few years back, thought it would look better with a more higher status door on it. Filled in and added a door using cardboard and some plastic bits
ready for use ...After the battle at the river side camp the longship with the Viking survivors on board made its way down-river...only nine of them left, just enough to crew the ship...
downstream they went, as the river widened, some of them got some oars out to help with the steering...
A little later, they spotted some men waving and shouting at them from the river bank ... it was Torsten and the hunting party that had gone downstream...The previously shown adventurers have been given shields (the archer has his slung on his back), they are joined by another female warrior (shield maiden from Steve Barber models).
continued from the previous post ...
The viking camp, repairs to the longship had been made ....
They had also made a small watch tower to keep an eye for any approaching saxons...
