Not warning Jofrodr of the sound was a mistake, since soon as Jofrodr opened a bit of the door he was face to face with the bandit that had moved towards the door.

The bandit attacked first, stabbing Jofrodr in the left leg.

Jofrodr remained perfectly quiet despite the injury and instead lunged with his sword at the bandit, bursting through the now open door. He managed to stab the bandit through the stomach, the hide armor doing little to stop him.

The squatter examined Kal for a moment and then shook her head. "Sorry, but I buy all my food from the local farmers. The Battle-Born farms sell their produce at quite the affordable prices. You might want to check there."

Kal could tell that the woman was lying to her. It was pretty clear that the squatter didn't trust her and wouldn't be spilling her beans so easily.

Skorm arrived at the keep at Morvunskar.

It had been built long ago to protect the city of Vindhelm from any enemies to their west. It had seen many battles, being destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries. The last time was after the Dragon War when Ostmark was at war with Hvitstrad, before the signing of the pact that made the Atmoran Confederation and "ended" hostilities between the holds. It was tradition for the Jarl of Ostmark to appoint someone to serve as Thane of Morvunskar, to be the guardian of the west of the hold.

Skorm had never been an ambitious man so he never dreamed of much more than starting a family and serving his liege. He had never thought that would lead him to becoming a thane. He was now a nobleman, though one of minor status. Still, he had a keep and lands to call his own until his death.

His wife and kids weren't too happy with leaving the city so soon after they had moved back there, but they had lived for years in Morvunskar when it was ruled by Harald as the thane so it was a homecoming for them. Now with the added luxury of being the owners of the keep.

Skorm, though, was not a man for luxuries either. He spent his time at Morvunskar doing his duty, training soldiers for Harald's upcoming war. He would not let his Jarl down.
