Ragnar! After the many hours you've trained in this room, one might think you would know better than to keep me waiting!

You're good boy, but don't think I can't cut a stripling down to size! *hmhm*

You may have bested Sigard and been named to the Odinsblade, but the ceremony at the Runestone is nothing but words...

Tradition says that before you truly become a man you must face the most skilled warrior in the village. You must face ME.

This is the true trial: defeat me in combat, and your place among us as a warrior is assured!

Defend yourself!
