After a break for Round Four--where Kolya lasts more than a round against Lord Evelake, which makes him a winner in our book--the Danger Gang is wafted northward from Ribe by the air elemental K was given by Ilya Muromets. In between Denmark and The Hat, they find the lovely "city" of Aalborg, and inquire of its Viking cheftain whether he's seen any Jew stuff about. Of course, there are no Jews in Denmark, buuuut he is able to produce a scroll containing Crazy and Undecipherable Runes. It's a Tanakh, complete but for Esther and Lamentations. Twas found in the burial grounds in the Lindholm hills, where the DG hastens forthwith. Finding a stone marker scrawled upon in Hebrew by two different hands--and an wee, unburied pitch-covered casket--they determine this was once a hangout of the Wandering Jew, Ahashverosh, who warns: "Please don't destroy the golem--it's protecting something important." But you know, whatever: the golem destroyed at some cost to the party (esp. as the damage inflicted can't be magically healed by a cleric of Gershom's level), they discover an underground genizah, a repository for Hebrew texts, most of which are deadly dull. However, they do uncover Details of the Diaspora of the tribe of Dan, and learn that their descendants converted to Norse..ism. Except for a few who headed west towards Ireland, where perhaps the DG will wend their steps next. Provided they can heal up their fighters in short order.
