What Moli actually said in-character:
Bjorn Bjarnesson
Rode on lone bone tyrant, [1]
Road haste made waste on foe.
Giant stomping monster storms!
Giga mashing he smashed!
Army big, me sees small,
Arms large[2], charged to the ground [3].
Rad though his death unbad[4],
Rated not fated day.
[1] GRAVITY REX
[2] Goliath
[3] Fall
[4] Awesome
AN: @Walliseatscheese, I hope you like this one! I think it even follows all the skaldic rules fully, barring stress/unstressed which is done by the speaker anyway.

And since Erik just emptied a couple of his extra fasts by giving away a few inventory items... hm, he can do exactly that! Thanks.
Ingegärd is perfectly capable of smashing a skeleton-man's skull with an axe. As long as no one asks too much of her, she'll be fine.
A basic Norse cultivator with no relevant 1 PT combat skills is still capable of giving Captain America very serious problems in a straight fight, though to be fair this is in large part because it would take a truly ridiculous amount of blunt force trauma to put a Norseman down and blunt force trauma is Cap's stock in trade.
(Well, okay, the problem there is that Cap always only ever hits people with his shield or his fist, and getting hit with a fist is a shaming blow, so he's fucking up your cultivation with every attack. Still, you get what I'm saying)
Yeah, this. If the skeletons actually manage to win, any surviving Norse are going to get picked off in fairly short order by something or other. Furthermore, anyone who wants any credibility among the Norse as a relevant adult has to either be participating in this battle or have a damn good explanation for why they haven't.
Grid got her arms chopped off a couple weeks ago, and do you see her whining about it? No, you do not! She stuck those arms back on, they reattached, she walked it off, and now she's piloting a goddamn zombie dinosaur-mecha thing!

A Disappointment (KittyEmpress)

A Disappointment
A golden blade smoothly moves through bone as the short dance comes to an end. Strewn around the small norsewoman were numerous bones; and her current allies. Valo was cousin to whom she currently was in the employ of, so she had stuck close to the man in the fights, despite not feeling the need to do so. Amlodi was clearly skilled and intelligent, but... Eirny didn't say it, but she felt like fighting was not his passion, not in the way it was for some. For her. Vatn was brave, his axe cracked skulls without hesitation, even as he risked blows from their weapons.
But as the girl came back to herself she felt a gnawing... hunger, for something more. Something more interesting. These skeletons did nothing to sate her, they were as weak as a child - weaker still than a properly raised child, even. A sense of malaise filled her as she ran with her fellows towards the next fight, the next band of worthless bones to sever into pieces. As she slipped back into the blade trance, as she stepped past the blades of two and severed the head off of a third there was no feeling of victory, no satiation of the desire to end.
Her blade felt as empty as she did, as it met bone after bone. No matter how she cut, they fell, they shattered, they lost themselves to her. And she had used nothing but the strength in her own body for that. Her finely tuned reflexes moved her between blows without fear - the shield she had been given by the one who paid her services unneeded as she danced through the narrow gaps in the jerking, weak motions of the skeletons. There was no glory in kills like these - in kills against those who could not drive even a faint raise in heartbeat.
As doom barreled down on her home, the woman realized that all she felt between fights was a bitter sense of disappointment. Were these lands Draugr so weak? She joined this group because waiting at home, waiting for battle to be fought, was far from her goal, from her lifestyle. But now she found it worse than if she had stayed - at least then she had the joy of imagining how great the battle would be. Of how her blade would feast upon the marrow of these fell creatures. Out here, in battle, she had to imagine this was what must await her in Hel, a battle unending that provides no satisfaction.
A step down on the skull of one that she had severed through the spine, she turned to look at Valo, her eyes regaining clarity as she looked at the man. She gave no smile as she met his eyes, only emptiness dwelling in her depressed sword. Her exhaustion with this fight growing by the moment, as she realized her heart was not in it. As she lifted her foot from the shards of bones, she glanced down with an anger for the weaklings. For they had left her unsatisfied.
She couldn't even watch the light in their eyes disappear as they fell.

Well first was that since was the first time we really interacted one to one, I imagined that Hardhead had really just stared hard at me, marched over and just put the shield in both my hands before nodding satisfied with himself.Well, that was something he personally handcrafted, and it might save her life, but sure lol.
Second of all, I feel that you have not spend enough time around kindergarten teachers
(They will, without meaning too, sometimes treat you like you were five)

Hardhead's that type of socially awkward. He tends to spend a while thinking over his ideas before acting on them, sure, so the intense stare is quite possible! But he'd at least explain himself as to what he has in mind by handing Agnes a shield.
Oh, I know how it is- professional reflex can take over at the damnedest moments.Second of all, I feel that you have not spend enough time around kindergarten teachers
"Whatever lol" is not the same as "this person is behaving unrealistically." Oddly, perhaps; unrealistically, no.

Note for the record: Ragnarr usually uses a spear. But he's not above using an axe if he needs to, so that's valid.

Sure, but that acting with a very serious look on your face before explaining, is behavior that Agnes sees in her younger cousins so your character get headpats
. Most of her interactions growing up were with either kids much younger than her or with her mother and aunts who would run the store. Some people, Agnes thinks, are just really big kids.This does mean that Agnes will sometimes not be afraid of someone or respect them properly when she really should <^_^;

Well, with everyone else trying art so did I.
This is obviously Ragnarr in his first fight with a skeleton. It is largely accurate to events, if not the best art ever.

I can't either, post it in discord, then use discord to "View Image" that link will work.

I am. What host are you using for the image? Some of them limit who can see a hosted image on other websites.

Tried filtering through Discord, does that work now?
I just used Google Photos. I have no idea what I'm doing uploading images.

It works, but since it is being shared via Discord, it will only work for twenty-four hours.
I recommend imgur. It is my go to for image hosting.

Necromancer POV: On the Stream
"What's up, boys and girls? Alright, so last year, we scouted the new human village, well, village was pretty generous, more a makeshift village, really. Then one of the villagers decided that dead things are supposed to be buried, but some sweet micro saved the ass of skelebro. Too bad for them, it's time we added them to our skeleton army."
".. and now we get on the task of queue command, queue command, hang on, what's that-"
"NO, NO, NO! Shit, they all executed their contingent orders, NO!"
AN: This is my interpretation of the Necromancer. I choose for this to be canon. I reject all evidence otherwise!
