Beyond the Ragnarök

Halp waits until Veldir had debarked.

He leaves his pack in the longboat, taking only that needed for a melee. Then he wades to shore. 

He starts up the hill, shouting to his companions, "With their vantage we have not surprise, surely. If you want not yet your seat in the Feasting Halls, than send your foe there first..." 

And he charges up the hill, 'cutting a trail' he supposes, light hammer in his off hand, sparking the shillelagh cantrip on his main-hand club (with his BA) and casting Bless (with his A) on the three foremost of his companions. 

"Come!"

Quote from PlotArmored >>

“Who would like to cut a trail uphill for us?” He asks, implying that we weren’t to wait for the owl’s return before starting our hike.

Sólmyrkvi also has his backpack, thinking that it's best to be prepared for anything even though they don't plan to go that far from the ship.  At Leif's question, he waves off the role with his hands, saying, "I'm no tracker."

Halp....starts up the hill, shouting to his companions, "With their vantage we have not surprise, surely. If you want not yet your seat in the Feasting Halls, than send your foe there first...Come!"

Sólmyrkvi is caught off guard by Halp's sudden "charge" up the hill, but once he gets started, Sólmyrkvi does his best not to fall too far behind the others.  Even though he sees no reason to expect that they're racing immediately into a fight, he doesn't want the old fighter to stumble upon something dangerous while he's on his own ahead of the rest of the group.
