Vic the Viking

Powerful winds coming from all directions, created by giant bellows, are keeping our vikings from landing on the Celtic shores of the self proclaimed kingdom of The Wind Queen.

Drawn to a shooting star that has fallen on an ice field, Halvar and his men are convinced they have found a fabulous treasure.

The Drakkar runs aground on a reef in the fog! When they call for help, the vikings only draw the attention of Sven and his men, who steal their cargo. Vic manages to recover the goods by making it appear like the pirates have been cursed. To do this, he uses bamboo sticks (bartered with a Chinese merchant during their last stop) that are actually filled in with gunpowder (kind of crafted firecrackers). These are loud enough to sound like the god Thor’s thunder, and also explode with an unbelievable show of fireworks.

In order to scare away tax collectors sent by Eric the Greedy, Vic invents a magic lantern.

Halvar, his men and the Drakkar are kidnapped by Sven! In order to catch up with them, Vic whips up some kitesurfing gear with a board and burlap bags.

An old shipwrecked sailor is the accomplice and bait for a group of pirates, who use the tempting prospect of a fabulous treasure to lure sailors in order to seize their riches more easily.
