		Hrunting had saved him in many a tight situation, and in most cases where he only faced a few or more dead, the blade was necessary in preserving the precious ammo he needed for his shotgun.
		Taking Hrunting from its sheath at his side, Olaf cut his shirt into strips and managed to wrap a makeshift bandage tightly around his middle.
		Olaf’s blade sunk and was stuck in the wood of the club, and with another surprisingly deft move the man raised a leg as thick as a tree trunk and kicked Olaf square in the stomach.

		Hrunting orbits a dim red star and has a standard atmosphere, a gravity of 0.5 G, fairly normal temperatures, and oceans that cover 30% of the planet.
		If the GM feels the need, the ship bringing in the cargo to the players may be armed enough to discourage the party from trying to change the deal or force new terms at the point of a gun (if his players are inclined to this sort of action).
		The "pirates" in the Hrunting system should be armed enough to make the fight interesting, but the odds of the players losing both the space battle with the "pirates" and the subsequent boarding action should be low.

		Aurra was chosen to be Fan of the Month because she happened to be talking to Wealhtheow when she (the wise, awesome W-one) decided to choose a FOTM because, frankly, her pal Hrunting here got a tad lazy and refrained from updating this site for a few months.
		Adrienne was chosen to be Fan of the Month because she was sitting across from Hrunting at lunch when she (Hrunting) realized that there was no FOTM for the month of April and Adrienne was the perfect candidate!
		Hrunting is slow and didn't get around to updating until then, and it doesn't make you any less cool, Melissa!

	The Geats go home
		Beowulf returns the sword Hrunting to Unferth, being diplomatic about the futility of using this weapon against Grendel’s mother.

	Essay Info :: What are the values of Beowulf the Geat?
		It seems clear that he could quite easily have been a character in the Finn episode, if he could have been persuaded that he was fighting for honour or conquest.
		The failure of Unferth’s sword Hrunting, in the battle with Beowulf and Grendel’s mother is perhaps significant.
		The sword it is claimed “had never failed the hand of anyone who hefted it I battle,” and before he leaves Beowulf says, “With Hrunting I shall gain glory or die.” The failure of Hrunting in many ways represents the failure of Beowulf’s values and the warrior culture he exists in.
