Has anyone seen a movie called the 13th Warrior? It's about an Arab named Ahmed Ibn Fahaddlan who is sent to be an ambassador to some European country, but he meets up with a lot of Northmen(Vikings, to the lay person and stupid people)and he hangs with them for a day or two. The next morning, a ship somes up with a little boy from the Northmen's homeland, with bad news. A horrible ancient terror has been attacking them and it cannot be named. Their leader, Bulwyf, calls for the "angel of death", a priestess essentially. She reads the bones and she says that 13 (number of months) warriors must go to defend them from the flesh-eating meanies.They pick a guy with armor, their new king(Bulwyf), a scout with a mullet, an old guy, a old fat guy, the Irish guy from braveheart(now a redhead), a tatooed guy, a young guy, a bowman with a weid pony tail, another bowman, Ahmed's translator( who is my favorite) and one other guy who eludes me at the moment. The angel of death sez that the 13th warrior can be no Northman, and he goes with them. The Warriors make him the butt of all their jokes, but eventually he earns their respect and learns their language. LONG STORY SHORT: They get to the homeland and find out that the town is being attacked by a creature from the mists: the Wendols. I wont tell you the end, for space's sake and this topic is getting boring, so I'll just tell you about the bad guys:Wendols. They are Cave men with Bear cloaks and bear stuff: Claws, cloaks, Clubs with claws in them, etc. LSS again, i think the wendols would be really cool as a unit, kind of like a Norse mercenary. They rode horses too and could be more powerful in groups and weaker solo. They paint their faces and look really cool. Maybe we could incorporate them somehow into the Norse tech tree. Post your ponders...
