[The Fool]

"You fools. In doing so, we hope to lose more than what we've gained. Our brother's lives will be spent in vain!

Phalanx formation! May they meet us in true combat!

Advance!"

We'll keep formation until the enemy is weakened. Then we'll charge.

[NRDL]

Your men have completely formed a shield wall, only one viking has managed to escape the onslaught, he's a tough one. 



The puny vikings clash against your shield wall, killing a few of them in the process.  Shaking off their initial surprise and shock at the reinforcement of the enemy, your warriors have taken heart and fight with great vigor!

You still wanna charge?  Come on people, I need input here. 

[Tiruin]

"Advance! Those in the phalanx! They shall meet our combined arms and know the power of we Vikings! Cut them down!

Rally to me, my brothers! Rally!"

[terkiey]

CHAAAAARRRRGGGGEEEE!

[NRDL]

Darn it, I was gonna do the turn already...

Any tie breakers? 

[10ebbor10]

"Advance! Those in the phalanx! They shall meet our combined arms and know the power of we Vikings! Cut them down!

Rally to me, my brothers! Rally!"

+1

[NRDL]

You order your men to advance, still in a line, and they do so with great eagerness.



The monks in the southern area rush your open side, but it hardly matters.  They shall lose!



You yourself charge in, along with several others who were just on standby.  Most of the monks are killed, and the ones on the fringe surrender.

VIKINGS WIN!!!

So what now? 

[Talvara]

we take our treasure, we take our fallen and gtfo.

if the monks wear silver crosses we take those too. I think its time to bring the bread back to our families.

Leave our dead, they will only slow the ships down. Off hand I think vikings burned their dead anyway, but we don't have time to do that so let the earth have them.

Throw them into the sea. That way they can sail away on their Ghostly longboat taking the treasure the monks already dropped.

I was gonna suggest making funeral fires, but that might be a bad idea to do there and then. WeŽd get some bad karma if we treat our fallen brothers with disrespect methinks

We just killed a bunch of monks. If Karma exists in this game we would already be screwed. Either way we can just collect some logs real quick and put them in a pile then pile the bodies on top and burn them, respectful enough. Or maybe minus the logs, that would be faster but hardly honourable.

Plunder, tribute to our fallen warriors.

Historically, no. Vikings did kill monks, raid monasteries, pillage villages and hamlets and the like. Not going into what they did to their victims, especially women, as ethics in those days were very different from now.

Funeral Pyre for the dead.

[LordBucket]

1) Load treasure onto our boat

2) Take a quick look into the "sea" that the treasure has been tossed. The monks are dumping it on the beach, not the middle of the ocean. There might be a couple hundred pounds of gold and silver 10 feet into the surf. It's worth checking.

3) Do we gave a home base? I don't see one on the map.

3a) If we do, then take our dead with us and return home so that we may give them proper burial, inform their women, revel in our good fortune, etc.

3b) If we don't, then burn the dead. All of them. Do this last, so that we're not setting off a massive smoke signal to the world while we load treasure onto our boat. Pyre is last thing we do before we leave.

 * It gives proper respect to our fallen friends so they don't haunt us
 * It keeps morale high, since those still alive will know they're not simply being used and discarded
 * It hides our losses to whomever comes looking for us. If they find a massive pile of burned corpses, it looks like we simply came in and slaughtered everyone. If they find lots of viking corpses, it tells them that we can be defeated, and are weaker now than we were.

4) If we don't have a home base, then return to the monastery and start building defenses. Also, look for nuns. We will need women to breed more vikings.
