When it is time for Gundrabu’s action, he lays his sharpened pike lengthways athwart an undamaged canoe, seats himself within, and begins to paddle across to the fallen.

Tillak begins to think of his spell while raising his shield in a defensive posture and crouching.
Her voice is cold, haughty even as she remembers her bloodline. "I am Sigrun, daughter of Hjallmar Half-Hand, son of Ulfgar Bear-Killer," she roared out, slamming the butt of her spear into the ground. "Your brother is alive, for the moment. The great ormr, the serpent has left, the men who are not men are dead and scattered. I have no quarrel with you but if wish me harm or foul trickery, I will fight till my last breath leaves my lips. I haver not seen humans in these lands in for...some time. I would talk in peace. If not, we go on our own way."
"What say you?"

"If you offer parlay, then I accept it. What of my brother, though? You say he's alive, but I do not know if this is true. We were victims of those beast men, not their allies. Will you allow me to see him and know that he is well, then I will parlay with you."

“Come in peace, then, and see your brother,” Sigrun replied. She relaxes her stance and waits.

Tillak lowers his shield and advances up the hill, but keeps his pick at the ready. As he reaches the top, he moves past the hunts-woman, keeping and eye on her, and towards the prone form of Kondor. Tillak kneels next to his companion and examines Kondor to see if he lives. He shakes the barbarian in order to awaken him as he gives the warrior woman with the spear a cold glare, the eldritch power of his arcane might giving his normally brown Esquimeaux eyes a bluish tinge.
"Why did you do this. Kondor is an honorable man. Did he attack you?" Thinking of her name, and marking it's Nordic keen, Tillak asks the same question in his passable Norse tongue.

Sigrun matches the Esquimeaux’s cold glare with her own. “He was at the edge of my camp. I did not want him to catch the attention of either the men who are not men or the ormr. I told him not to make a noise, and he did. I knocked him out cold rather than run him through with my spear. Who are you? Why are you out here?”

I am Tillak, Esquimaux. This is my brother, Kondor. We and my other brother, Gundrabu, were tricked by the beast men and captured. We mean you no harm. We just want to leave this place." Tillak kneels and shakes Kondor again, calling his name while doing so.

Kondor remains unresponsive.

It was strange, she thought, talking to humans again. It had been many winters since the last of her hunting party had died.
“Come to my camp and I’ll get the fire going again. I’ll help you with your brother.” Sigrun will help Tillak drag Kondor over to the small ring of stones in the middle of the clearing. Then she will crouch low to the fire and breathe life to the embers, keeping the two within sight.

As Tillak helps drag Kondor over to fire, he speaks to Sigurn again, this time in Norse. "How long have you been out here? This is a hostile place. The beastmen, the ormr," he stumbles over that last, unfamiliar word. "Where are your people? You are obviously strong and brave, but to withstand so much alone. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not believe it."

Gundrabu walks to the water's edge and looks across to the fallen barbarian.

The air cools as Helios begins a slow sink behind the ridge.

Gundrabu kneels and checks for signs of life. If he finds any, he binds wounds — searching through any belongings the person has that may be of help.

No, gundrabu is on the canoe side of the water, the barbarian on the other.

Oh, okay. I do the below, then. I think the newcomer before the latest is Votin and that he is “dead.” I’m trying to get to him.

Ah missed that.
Gundrabu arrives at the fallen man. His wounds are deep and much blood is lost but he yet clings to life.

Tillak looks past Sigurn at the river. "I wonder if Guandrabu is alright," he mutters under his breath, steeling himself against the incoming night chill.
