Ah, that makes sense. Cheers for the explanation. Glad you liked the ideas. The Kain reference was in my opening post, albeit briefly; although in all honesty, I cannot remember from where I gleamed that piece of information. So it could be from one of the other representations and not the original. Either way, it seems to work.

Of course, as this fine creatures creator I shall have to let you know the horrors it is capable of. Admittedly it won't spring up in the campaign for a while yet, I'll have to run some mock scenario's though just to get a feel for it. These would be without my players of course, I'd hate to tarnish the surprise. I'll let you know how it fairs when I have found the time to do so.

Thanks again.

Huh. I have no idea how I missed that.

By the way, if you're running a combat against yourself and recording the results, you may want to make a thread with the play-by-play. Something like the Sample Combat thread on the resources board. It would be appreciated, but don't think of it as an obligation.

It's in the original, yes.

About Grendal being a descendant of Cain, I think that was added in the Christanized versions of the Saga, since in the version I found, they pray to God, not Odin, which I find very odd.  Grendal is more likly a Jotan (ice giant), or a scion of one.
That is the only pair of coppers I have to add

So all of my various references to the Ragnorok on this Forum may hold some water...Interesting
