Today's story is primarily about Thurisaz and Algiz.

Thurisaz is a rune of conflict, and there will be plenty of fighting today.
Algiz is a rune of protection, and is associated with the valkyries.

An hour ago, the mead hall was hail with laughter and conversation. Mere minutes ago, the room fell silent. Now, the only sound which could be heard over the chaos of spears and axes was the sound of Baby Dagaz crying. #futharkvillage @Hyrrokkin89 @ILupine @MarieHa44988077

The spear which had entered through the window had been followed by two more, causing the people inside the mead hall to draw back. Eiwaz had popped his head up through the western window and loosed an arrow. He had ducked before hearing a man cry out in pain.#futharkvillage

Algiz thrust a spear out through the window blindly, and was rewarded by the sensation of hitting a throat. She hadn't had time to celebrate her success, though, because that was when the banging on the front door had started. #futharkvillage @rhipossessed @SRCExplores

Tiwaz, Thurisaz, and Hagalaz had propped themselves up against the door to reduce the power of the ram the intruders used. With each bang, they had been thrown back, but they quickly repositioned themselves. Then the door had splintered.#futharkvillage @MightySigurd

A small oak tree jutted out through the door, shattering the wooden bar with which it had been held closed. The three warriors stood with sword, hammer, and club, watching as the oak retracted, pulling the door with it.#futharkvillage

Then there were armored men charging into the room and all was chaos. Thurisaz lost sight of the others as he engaged two charging metal masses of muscle. He raised his hammer over his shoulder, parallel to the ground, with the head pointed back.#futharkvillage

Rather than swing the hammer, though, Thurisaz allowed the handle to slide forward through his hands, jabbing the first warrior in the face. The warrior fell back, nose broken, and Thurisaz adjusted his grip to swing at the second.#futharkvillage

Thurisaz let go of the hammer rather than be thrown off-balance, and threw his left forearm into his opponent’s right wrist. He winced at the contact between armor and flesh as he twisted his hand to grab the pommel of the sword he had just blocked. #futharkvillage

Thurisaz lifted the pommel of his opponent's sword over his head with his left hand and, twisting, grabbed the armored warrior's face with his right hand, and slammed his face into the table. The warrior let go of his sword.#futharkvillage

Thurisaz looked around to assess the battle, and saw that Tiwaz was being overwhelmed. The lawyer was a good hand with a sword in a fair fight, but he was being attacked by two armored opponents.

Thurisaz slid his sword under the back of ones helmet.#futharkvillage
“They’re taking the seeress!” Thurisaz looked up as General Algiz’s voice rang out through the room. Two warriors were carrying an unconscious Sowilo out of the room, her golden hair trailing under her on the ground. #futharkvillage
