Dialog
Niall Glúndub
Fóghnamh! Hold the line, men of Éire! These sea-wolves break upon our spears like waves upon the cliffs!
Viking Chieftain
Hah! Your cliffs crumble, little king! Today your blood will feed the ravens, eh?
Niall Glúndub
By the Morrigan's spear, you'll find Irish steel bites deeper than your empty boasts, Northman!
Viking Chieftain
Skál! A king worth killing! Let's see if your death-song pleases Odin!
Niall Glúndub
To me, Tuathal! Flank left - drive them back toward the river!
Viking Chieftain
Clever fox! But my wolves already swim in your rear!
Niall Glúndub
Then we fight back to back like the Fianna of old! For honor! For Éire!
