"To je on." Prošaptao je Ivar prebirući krvavi snijeg pod prstima dok je sagnut promatrao tragove pokolja oko sebe. Tijela obitelji Gunnarson ležala su nepomično na padini ispred njihove kuće. Raščetvorena i podrapana sa blijedim izrazom strave na ukočenim licima, njihova smrznuta krv poprimila je purpurnu nijansu pod zimskim svijetlom sutona. U umu mladog ratnika nije bilo sumnje. Prepoznao bi tragove svog učitelja bilo gdje. Stari hersir povukao se u osamu ovdje nakon što je počeo gubiti svoj um. Heroj klana Helmsig i prvi štit velekralja Brynjara Goloprsnog preživio je sve bitke i nedaće samo da bi podlegnuo sporoj propasti demencije, nesretnoj sudbini svih berserkera koji požive dovoljno dugo. Ali što ga je moglo navesti na ovaj čin? Je li zvijer koja živi u njemu preuzela njegov nekoć britak um, gladna za krvoprolićem sada nesputana da lovi kada god poželi? Kako god bilo jasno je da u starom medvjedu još ima borbe i da nije ništa manje opasan. Mora ga pronaći!
Ivar se uspravio i uputio teški pogled svojoj družini. Nije morao ništa reći. Poslani su da izvrše kraljevu pravdu i to će napraviti. Helfdan Haraldsson, njihov mentor, čovjek koji ih je naučio časti, dužnosti, hrabrosti i svim vještinama kojima su ovladali otkad mogu držati mač u ruci mora umrijeti od njihove ruke.
Notes
Potrebno je poznavanje D&D 5e sustava. Ponijeti kockice tko ih ima, papir i olovku i naravno dobro raspoloženje.
"Cattle die, kinsmen die. You yourself must some day die. Yet I know one thing which never dies. The judgement of a dead man's deeds." - Havamal.
Iskloft. A frigid land of honour, brutality, greed and glory. Here, raiders sail the coasts, huskarls stand in shield walls, strange monsters lurk in the deep woods, and witches speak their curses. Jarls scheme in their longhalls, each trying to survive and even thrive in this harsh world.
Iskloft is a viking themed setting for the 5th edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game.
Inside Iskloft you'll find:
- 180 pages of content, explaining the world, its customs, its people, and its new rules.
- 6 classes. Play as the sacred Berserker, the stoic warrior Drengr, the world-wise wanderer Kyrrgangr, the warlord and commander Hersir, the shunned and hated Outlaw, or the mystical and powerful Seiðr.
- Ninecultures, called Aettir, to replace race options.
- Culture specific feats, called Hefðir, including options that only the Drengr (the Fighter) can use, allowing them to specialise in combat forms.
- 12 backgrounds, ranging from simple farmer or fisherman, to the disfigured, or the raiding viking.
- New Mechanics! New skills, rules for traveling, new conditions, and rules for weapons degrading over time.
- New equipment, and powerful relics.
- Brutal Wounds. A critical hit brings dire consequences. Tables for lingering wounds for each type of damage, and for each location. This system is integrated into the classes, allowing some to deal particularly gruesome wounds.
- Three entirely new magic systems: The songs of Odin, the power of runes, and the Nidðgaldr, which allows a caster to become possessed by spirits for power.
- An adventure to bring you into the setting.
- A bestiary, including many denizens of the world, and some of the strange and mighty monsters that lurk within it.
