Well...it's not all that valorous. It's a little Seven Samurai. Though the Vikings were certainly trying to be valorous.

Clara and I landed in a Viking village. Moments afterwards, fake Odin showed up and took some of the warriors "to Valhalla." [ And he makes those air quotes. ] Anyway, we're left with the women and the children and the inept. Which really, wouldn't be all that bad, except Ashildr accidentally declared war on fake Odin. Turns out that fake Odin's part of the Mire. They're an alien race who focus mostly on war. They build up their reputation on being fearsome warriors...just after they steal away and kill the actual warriors of the race via dirty tricks.

Anyway, I'm left with Clara and a bunch of useless Vikings who are too stupid to actually leave. Training them to fight doesn't work in the slightest. And that's when I discover the eels. Eels in Scandanavia! Who cares how they got there, because they're useful. We use the eels to rig up an electromagnet, use the electromagnet to steal a helmet, use the visual link from the Mire helmet to hack into the other Mire helmets to make them think a dragon puppet was a real puppet. Clara took a video of the whole ordeal and we successfully shamed them off Earth.
