Born at night in Tempest tossed seas far from land he my have been, but Olaf Titbit of The Hebrides now lies dead in the mud of the hamlet of Lindale.<\/p>\n

In the cold months after Christmas Olaf led his ragtag band from his lands with fire and plunder in his mind. The quiet hamlet of Lindale was his target; but no man sneaks around Andraes Vilhelmsson\u2019s lands without his knowledge!<\/p>\n

Defending Lindale at first was the local levy archers; they were charged by one of Olaf\u2019s units of Hearthguard and were pushed back with casualties but did not falter. After exchanging blows with the levy a few times, the Hearthguard carried on through Lindale towards Andraes and his reinforced Warriors who had arrived on one side of the hamlet opposite Olaf and his Warriors, while Andraes\u2019 Hearthguard arrived on the other side.<\/p>\n

One of the Hearthguard units chased Olaf\u2019s war band round the hamlet and caught up with some of his warriors, in the following fight all the Hearthguard fell but took most of the warriors with them.<\/p>\n

The other Hearthguard unit reinforced the levy in the centre of the hamlet.<\/p>\n

Andraes lead his warriors into an attack on Olaf\u2019s Hearthguard in the hamlet; eventually wiping them out.<\/p>\n

Olaf\u2019s warriors then advanced on Andraes\u2019 warriors launching salvoes of javelins as they approached, eventually charging into melee, which they won.<\/p>\n

Andraes joined his levy and the remaining Hearthguard in the hamlet. After trading arrows and javelins, and with fatigue building up in Olaf\u2019s warriors they were defeated by the Levy\u2019 shooting.<\/p>\n

Andraes\u2019 remaining Hearthguard started towards the edge of the hamlet, looking to engage the remains of Olaf\u2019s warriors, but as they did so Olaf moved back and charged them challenging them to single combat. The first of the Hearthguard to face Olaf fell beneath his sword, but the second was of sterner stuff and smote Olaf a mighty blow, cleaving his head from his shoulders. With this the remnants of his warband could take no more and fled the field.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Olaf had partaken of a little too much \u2018uisge\u2019 before deciding to attack?<\/p>\n
