Thank you sir.
We were the least strong of those who showed to defend though....

It wasn't so much whether or not you showed in strength that impressed me. It was more the courage to keep fighting even against terrible odds.
Tyr Skaervegir showed exceptional bravery. When he saw my character speaking with the vampires after the main fight was over and I headed back to the site he attacked me for it, clearly assuming I was with them. He couldn't land much in the way of blows, but held on until a nearby tamer got me, and good. When I then ress'd and he saw me exit the Compassion gate he chased me all the way to the Gypsy camp, where I got some bandies and turned to confront him.
Tyr then challenged me, in full armor, and now with bandages, likely knowing full well I could and probably would kill him. He can't have expected me not to fight, given that we'd fought at Honor, and he can't have expected to win.
That was courage.
We spoke for a bit. I explained, in Lindi's trademark broken common, that I was there for the story-telling. That it reminded Lindi of telling stories around the fire when he was young. But that I was no enemy to any city-man, or rather that Lindi was the enemy of every city-man, and that vampires often would not attack me for I was a cannibalistic murderer and for some reason they liked that.
We then agreed to return together to Story Night to see if it was clear. He soon died to the vampires, but fought bravely. Returning to a known death, that was also courage.
After that I ended up telling my story again for a more shall we say bloodthirsty audience. I found it particularly interesting that although I was telling the same story it came out fairly differently since my audience clearly liked the gory, bloody, details and the telling of Lord British's treachery more than had the kind-hearted city-men who normally listen to me spin a story. Very interesting.
But props for MYTH's courage. And doubly so to Tyr.
