Here's the coastline along the Humber Estuary, a small, navigable river, leads inland to the pokey little village of Klee. It's a bit of a dump but may offer up some loot, slaves and livestock. Close by is an edifice anything but pokey... the church of the Good Bishop Bonk, crammed to the rafters with goodies.

An overview of the Estuary.

The glittering prize of Bishop Bonk's pile of riches...

And the direct but swampy approach over the bridge...

"See you on the beach!"

In the dawn's early light, Longships ghost onto the beach near Klee. One disgorges it's crew west shore, keen to loot and pillage their way to the Church they've spied among the trees...

A second Longship beaches to the east, it's crew taking the direct route to the village of Klee, they are led by the redoubtable Bok the Berserker...

A third Longship, this one crewed by Queen Gobetha, renowned Shield Maiden, and her bodyguard of Veteran Huscarls headed up the River Klee in support of Bok the Berserker and his men...

Fortunately for the wretched peasants of Klee, a unit of Lord Putrid son of Putrid's warriors have turned up. They're on the way to Bishop Bonk's Church carrying their Lord's dispatch finalising his daughter's up coming nuptials, to be held next week in the good Bishop's Church...
Their commander sends a message back to Putrid's Great Hall telling him of the oncoming storm. He then takes his helmet off and scratches his head. He's torn between rushing to the village to protect the little Milkmaid he's sweet on, or making sure the Godless heathens don't ransack the church and make off with the Kingdom's treasure!

The Northmen storm ashore and the raid is on!

The Leader of the Saxon Warband finds duty calls, more than his milkmaid! Scattering fleeing peasants the column reaches Bishop Bonk's Church. The good Bishop, once a fearsome Warrior himself before taking Holy Orders, takes charge and prepares to defend both his flock and his Church's dosh!

First blood to the Vikings, Olaf the Woodsman is overtaken and butchered!

Meanwhile, Queen Gobathe's flagship, Long Serpent, continues it's early morning voyage along the River Klee...

Egged on by Bishop Bonk's exhortations, The Saxons draw first blood with a spirited assault on the Northmen!

Over on the far shore Bok the Berserker has reached the brisge over the river Klee. Seeing Saxon Warriors approaching he begins to roar a challenge and capers about a bit. The nondescript looking little man, armed with a bow, takes a very dim view of this carry on first thing in the morning. He is one, Digoth, the parish's most accomplished hunter...

Without further ado Digoth sends two shafts thudding into Bok's whistlepipe, giving the giant Viking a one way ticket over the Rainbow Bridge!
