Summary

Two stories from Iceland.

On the first, Signy has a shot at the good life. Unfortunately, that shot involves camping out in a cave with giants, tone deaf swans, and magic flying beds. Oh, and some light kidnapping.

On the second the pastorage servant just wants to kiss that dead guy and does not care who knows it.

The creature is stuck between two dimensions, and they're going to take out their anger about that on you. With their club.
