Episode 9b – The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Judgments)

In this episode, Andy and John wonder about Gunnlaug and Hrafn’s motivations, the quality of their poetry, and evaluate their swordsmanship.  We also take a closer look at their love of Helga the Fair.  As always, we count up the bodies and offer praise to the wittiest saga lines before getting down to the more difficult choices.  With no clear villain in the story, who will be outlawed?  Would either Gunnlaug or Hrafn make a good thingman?  There’s one clear gem of thingman in this saga, but John’s choosing first.  What happens when Andy doesn’t get his way? Find out in the Judgment section for The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue.
