hunting party ....

Ragnald's hunting party had been unsuccessful, so they headed back to the ship (- Sven Eriksen would not be happy, food was running short ....)

They skirted the woodland ...

 and as they passed through a large copse, a bear loped towards them... bear ! shouted Ivar

 the bear lumbered towards them rearing up on its hind legs to attack.. the bear pushed away Ivar's spear but Cerdic's spear got the bear in the stomach ....

 with the bear wounded, they set about it with their spears ....

 till it fell to the ground dead ....

well done all said Ragnar - looks like bear meat tonight ....
