The mission: Your story in Reykjavík
You're a stinking, middle aged Viking called Ingólfur.
Everyone in this village and the ones nearby follow orders commanded by you and your lanky wife Hallveig because you are the Chieftain.
A tense, sweaty peasant approaches your tent one winter morning with word of a group of men arriving by a grand-looking ship at the west side of Reykjavik with weapons drawn and looking to cause trouble.
