379: Norse Sagas: Forsaken (part 2 of 2)

We finish up the story of Bard with that of his son, Gest, which includes bloody Christmas parties, fun new games for you and your friends will try* and what happens when you forsake everyone and everything you know and love (spoiler: it doesn’t go well). The creature is Sega, a cute little bird who is very, very angry.
