b'While 12 years may have passed since the slaying of Bolli, not a day passed that Gudrun wasn\'t thinking of getting her revenge on the Olafssons and their companions. Now that her two sons, Thorleik and Bolli, are old enough to avenge their father, Gudrun arranges a secret meeting with Snorri godi to lay out a cunning plan. Unfortunately for Gudrun, Snorri doesn\'t share her enthusiasm for attacking the Olafssons, or most of the other Bolli-slayers for that matter. There is one man, however, whose death could satisfy the demands of Gudrun\'s revenge and the honor of young Thorleik and Bolli.\\nIn this episode, we trace the evolution and flawless execution of Snorri and Gudrun\'s cunning plan, witness the oaths sworn at Gudrun\'s fourth betrothal, meet a strange man calling himself Killer-Hrapp, and discuss his apparent reference to Reynard in most English translations of Laxdaela Saga.\\n\\nStep into the conversation on our social media:\\nSagaThingPod on Twitter\\nSagathingpodcast on Facebook and Instagram\\nand\\nThe unofficial official Saga Thing Discord\\nThe above illustration of Bolli Bollason and Helgi Hardbeinsson was composed by Jacob Foust (aka @skarphedin_illustrator), our special guest illustrator for Laxdaela Saga.\\xa0\\nMusic Credits\\nIntro Music - "Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4236-prelude-and-actionLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license\\nReview Music - "The Royal Vagabond Medley" by Jocker\'s Dance Orchestra\\nOutro Music - "Stormfront" by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4421-stormfrontLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license'
