Gudrod scanned the battlefield with a sense of urgency. Ragnar Lodbrok, his liege, was lying motionless to his right, about to become a prisoner of the vicious Hibernians. Gudrod's shieldwall was collapsing behind him, his brothers in arms losing their nerve. 

Desperate for guidance, he looked to his kinsmen, but they were nowhere to be found, save for his son Hrolf, fighting fiercely by his side. To make matters worse, the wound inflicted by a Hibernian javelin was throbbing with pain, demanding attention. 

The sun was setting, casting an ominous glow over the blood-soaked earth, as the carrion birds began to circle hungrily.

What should Gudrod do?  

Heal his wounds, or Rally his warriors?  Would it be better if he were to Reform his men back into shieldwall or to Summon his separated Kinsmen back beside him?  Is rescuing Ragnar all that ought to be on his mind?  Would Odin help if he were to Pray?

Or should Gudrod just draw his sword, turn to those still with a fight in them, and shout, ‘Charge!’.  

What would you do?
