b'In this episode we rejoin Thorgils Scar-Leg\\u2019s Step-son on the icy shores of Greenland. Of the 35 men and women who traveled with him to Greenland, his only companions are his son Thorleif and a pair of helpful brothers, Kol and Starka\\xf0. And then there\\u2019s the child, Thorfinn, nourished by his father\\u2019s love and bloody breast milk. Together these castaways must battle the elements on land and sea to make their way home again. Along the way they\\u2019ll encounter troll women, a polar bear, terrible Vikings, and more than one opportunity to duel. There\\u2019s even a guest appearance by everyone\\u2019s favorite grumpy pagan, Eirik the Red.\\nNearly a decade after being shipwrecked in Greenland, Thorgils finally returns to Iceland. He\\u2019s greeted by his daughter Thorney, now grown into a beautiful young woman. In his absence, Thorny was married to Bjarni of Grof, an arrangement that Thorgils finds less than ideal. And when he attempts to take the lovely Helga as his own bride, Thorgils ends up feuding with a rival suitor, Asgrim Ellida-Grimsson, a familiar name from Njal\\u2019s Saga. This conflict threatens to disrupt the relative peace of the region and prompts one of John\\u2019s thingmen into action.\\nWill young Thorfinn survive the journey from Greenland? Does Thorstein the red-shirted Norwegian companion ever die? Will Thorgils manage to rearrange his daughter\\u2019s marriage to his liking? Does Helga choose Thorgils or Asgrim? Or is her opinion not worth a hill of beans? And which thingman emerges from John\\u2019s mead hall to settle the dispute over her hand?\\nFind out in the sometimes thrilling but poorly told conclusion to Floamanna Saga!\\nThanks as always to Matt Smith for contributing another original drawing.
