"Victory over the beasts!" Dag roared to the crowd gathered on the village's central hill.

They cheered back, and from the great hall were carried several barrels of mead to be passed around.

"Drink! To victory and Kjorn and Sigdar."

A celebration began, but it stopped again just a moment later when Sigdar emerged from the longhouse after having found new clothes. His old ones had been ruined by the sheer amount of mud and blood to soak them.

There was silence as they all regarded their champion with something between awe and fear. Most of them hadn't gotten the chance to have a good look at the runes upon Sigdar's body until that moment.

Sigdar sated their curiosity with an account of all that had happened since he had left the village days ago to gain Kjorn's favor, and at the end of his story there was another long silence.

And then the tribespeople roared, "Sigdar for High King! King Sigdar! King Sigdar! King Sigdar!"

Taken by surprise, Sigdar looked back at Dag and saw look of shocked disbelief on his father's face. But just as the king looked as if he were about to indulge their demands and surrender his rule, Sigdar's voice boomed like thunder and spoke over the entire crowd. He told them that his life was Kjorn's and that he would leave the crown to his able father, for it was Kjorn's will that he train more warriors.

Then Sigdar began walking away. "Were are you going? What will you do?" Dag yelled after him.

"Back to the forest, where Kjorn's runestone was. Those who want the war god's favor will follow me and begin their training."

The king nodded and watched his son leave with no less than twenty at his back. Dag sat and thought for a short time, but then he pushed all that out of his mind. There was much to be done.

He began to organize the villagers and their giblin thralls to repair what was ruined by the flooding and to build a nearby barrow to inter those that had died in the battle. As in for the Deep Ones, he had them piled up and burned before the shrines to Father Frost and Kjorn. It was less work than it would have been to bury the monsters or taking them far enough into the sea that they wouldn't just wash back up on the shores, and he didn't trust the look of their foul flesh. Perhaps the gods would see this as a fitting tribute, even.

-There's a little party after Dag gives a short speech and has the mead brought out. Sigdar explains what happened and they try to make him king, but he lets Dag stay in charge so that he will be free to carry out Kjorn's will and train more Chosen.
-A barrow was dug outside Dagshall to bury the dead warriors.
-The dead Deep Ones are burned as a sacrifice before the shrines to Father Frost and Kjorn.

-Main turn action is expanding military. Sigdar took about twenty people to Kjorn's Mark so that they could begin training to become Kjorn's Chosen.
