	~~'''OF PORTENTS AT BERGTHORSKNOLL~~.~~'''~~		Now Flosi speaks to his men, "Now we will ride to Bergthorsknoll, and come thither before supper-time."

			They do so. There was a dell in the knoll, and they rode thither, and tethered their horses there, and stayed there till the evening was far spent.

	Now we ~~must take~~ up the ~~story~~, and ~~turn to Bergthorsknoll~~, and ~~say that Grim and Helgi go to Holar. They had children out at foster there~~, and they told their mother that they should not come home that evening. They were in Holar all the day, and there came some poor women and said they had come from far. Those brothers asked them for tidings, and they said they had no tidings to tell, "But still we might tell you one bit of news."		Then Flosi said, "Now we will go straight up to the house, and keep close, and walk slow, and see what counsel they will take."

	~~They asked what that might be~~, and ~~bade~~ them ~~not hide it. They said so it should be~~.		Njal stood out of doors, and his sons, and Kari and all the serving-men, and they stood in array<ref>'''they stood in array''': “Njálsbrenna er mikil og lýsandi sviðsetning, sjónleikur sem allir taka þátt í, karlar og konur, börn og fullorðnir, hetjur og húskarlar, brennumenn og þeir sem inni brenna, alls hátt á annað hundrað manns. Þegar þeir Flosi læðast heim að bænum hundrað í hóp og þétt saman standa heimamenn úti um þrjátíu talsins „og skipuðust fyrir á hlaðinu“, eins og þeir séu að koma sér fyrir á sviði.” [[Helga Kress. Njálsbrenna, karnival í Landeyjum]] (p. 28).</ref> to meet them in the yard, and they were near thirty of them.

	"~~We came down out of Fleetlithe, and~~ we ~~saw all the sons of Sigfus riding fully armed--~~they ~~made~~ for ~~Threecorner ridge~~, ~~and were fifteen in company. We saw too Grani Gunnar's son and Gunnar Lambi's son, and~~ they ~~were five in all. They took the same road~~, ~~and one may say now that~~ the ~~whole country-side is faring and flitting about~~."		Flosi halted and said, "Now we shall see what counsel they take, for it seems to me, if they stand out of doors to meet us, as though we should never get the mastery over them."

	"Then," ~~said Helgi Njal~~'s son, "~~Flosi must have come from the east, and they must have all gone~~ to ~~meet him, and we two, Grim, should be where Skarphedinn is~~."		"Then is our journey bad," says Grani Gunnar's son, "if we are not to dare to fall on them."

	~~Grim said so it ought to~~ be, ~~and~~ they ~~fared home~~.		"Nor shall that be," says Flosi; "for we will fall on them though they stand out of doors; but we shall pay that penalty, that many will not go away to tell which side won the day."

	~~That same evening Bergthora spoke~~ to ~~her household, and said~~, "~~Now shall~~ ye ~~choose your meat to-night, so that each may~~ have ~~what he likes best; for this evening is the last that I shall set meat before my household~~."		Njal said to his men, "See ye now what a great band of men they have."

	"~~That shall not be~~," they ~~said~~.		"They have both a great and well-knit band," says Skarphedinn; "but this is why they make a halt now, because they think it will be a hard struggle to master us."

	"~~It will~~ be ~~though~~," ~~she~~ says, "and ~~I could tell you much more if I would~~, but ~~this shall be~~ a ~~token~~, ~~that Grim~~ and ~~Helgi~~ will be ~~home ere men have eaten their full~~ to~~-night; and if this turns out so, then the rest that I say will happen too~~."		"That cannot be why they halt," says Njal; "and my will is that our men go indoors, for they had hard work to master Gunnar of Lithend, though he was alone to meet them; but here is a strong house as there was there, and they will be slow to come to close quarters."

	~~After~~ that ~~she set meat~~ on ~~the board~~, and ~~Njal said "Wondrously now it seems~~ to ~~me. Methinks I see all round~~ the ~~room~~, ~~and it seems~~ as ~~though the gable wall were thrown down~~, ~~but the whole board and the meat on~~ it ~~is one gore~~ of ~~blood~~."		"This is not to be settled in that wise," says Skarphedinn, "for those chiefs fell on Gunnar's house, who were so nobleminded, that they would rather turn back than burn him, house and all; but these will fall on us at once with fire, if they cannot get at us in any other way, for they will leave no stone unturned to get the better of us; and no doubt they think, as is not unlikely, that it will be their deaths if we escape out of their hands. Besides, I am unwilling to let myself be stifled indoors like a fox in his earth."

	~~All thought this strange but Skarphedinn~~, ~~he bade men not be downcast~~, ~~nor to utter other unseemly sounds~~, so ~~that men might make a story out of them~~.		"Now," said Njal, "as often it happens, my sons, ye set my counsel at naught, and show me no honour, but when ye were younger ye did not so, and then your plans were better furthered."

	"~~For it befits~~ us ~~surely more than other men to bear us well~~, ~~and it is only what is looked~~ for ~~from~~ us."		"Let us do," said Helgi, "as our father wills; that will be best for us."

	~~Grim and Helgi came home ere the board was cleared~~, ~~and men were much struck at that. Njal asked why they had returned so quickly~~ but ~~they told what they had heard~~.		"I am not so sure of that," says Skarphedinn, "for now he is 'fey'; but still I may well humour my father in this, by being burnt indoors along with him, for I am not afraid of my death."

	Njal ~~bade no man go~~ to ~~sleep~~, but to ~~be ware~~ of ~~themselves~~.		Then he said to Kari, "Let us stand by one another well, brother- in-law, so that neither parts from the other."

			"That I have made up my mind to do," says Kari; "but if it should be otherwise doomed,--well! then it must be as it must be, and I shall not be able to fight against it."

			"Avenge us, and we will avenge thee," says Skarphedinn, "if we live after thee."

			Kari said so it should be.

			Then they all went in, and stood in array at the door.

			"Now are they all 'fey,'" said Flosi, "since they have gone indoors, and we will go right up to them as quickly as we can, and throng as close as we can before the door, and give heed that none of them, neither Kari nor Njal's sons, get away; for that were our bane."

			So Flosi and his men came up to the house, and set men to watch round the house, if there were any secret doors in it. But Flosi went up to the front of the house with his men.

			Then Hroald Auzur's son ran up to where Skarphedinn stood, and thrust at him. Skarphedinn hewed the spearhead off the shaft as he held it, and made another stroke at him, and the axe fell on the top of the shield, and dashed back the whole shield on Hroald's body, but the upper horn of the axe caught him on the brow, and he fell at full length on his back, and was dead at once.

			"Little chance had that one with thee, Skarphedinn," said Kari, "and thou art our boldest."

			"I'm not so sure of that," says Skarphedinn, and he drew up his lips and smiled.

			Kari, and Grim, and Helgi, threw out many spears, and wounded many men; but Flosi and his men could do nothing.

			At last Flosi said, "We have already gotten great manscathe in our men; many are wounded, and he slain whom we would choose last of all. It is now clear that we shall never master them with weapons; many now there be who are not so forward in fight as they boasted, and yet they were those who goaded us on most. I say this most to Grani Gunnar's son, and Gunnar Lambi's son, who were the least willing to spare their foes. But still we shall have to take to some other plan for ourselves, and now there are but two choices left, and neither of them good. One is to turn away, and that is our death; the other, to set fire to the house, and burn them inside it; and that is a deed which we shall have to answer for heavily before God, since we are Christian men ourselves; but still we must take to that counsel."

			„Þá er vor för ill,“ segir Grani Gunnarsson, „ef skulum eigi þora að að sækja.“

			„Það skal og eigi vera,“ segir Flosi, „og munum vér að sækja þó að þeir standi úti. En það afhroð munum vér gjalda að margir munu eigi kunna frá að segja hvorir sigrast.“

			Njáll mælti til sinna manna: „Hvað sjáið þér til hversu mikið lið þeir hafa?“

			„Þeir hafa bæði mikið lið og harðsnúið,“ segir Skarphéðinn, „en því nema þeir þó nú stað að þeir ætla að þeim muni illa sækjast að vinna oss.“

			„Það mun ekki vera,“ segir Njáll, „og vil eg að menn gangi inn því að illa sóttist þeim Gunnar að Hlíðarenda og var hann einn fyrir. En hér eru hús rammleg sem þar voru og munu þeir eigi skjótt sækja.“

			„Þetta er ekki þann veg að skilja,“ segir Skarphéðinn, „því að Gunnar sóttu heim þeir höfðingjar er svo voru vel að sér að heldur vildu frá hverfa en brenna hann inni. En þessir munu þegar sækja oss með eldi er þeir mega eigi annan veg því að þeir munu allt til vinna að yfir taki við oss. Munu þeir það ætla sem eigi er ólíklegt að það sé þeirra bani ef oss dregur undan. Eg er og þess ófús að láta svæla mig inni sem melrakka í greni.“

			Njáll mælti: „Nú mun sem oftar að þér munuð bera mig ráðum, synir mínir, og virða mig engis. En þá er þér voruð yngri gerðuð þér það eigi og fór yðvart ráð þá betur fram.“

			„Eigi veit eg það víst,“ segir Skarphéðinn, „því að hann er nú feigur. En vel má eg gera það til skaps föður míns að brenna inni með honum því að eg hræðist ekki dauða minn.“

			Hann mælti þá við Kára: „Fylgjumst vel, mágur, svo að engi skiljist við annan.“

			„Það hefi eg ætlað,“ segir Kári, „en ef annars verður auðið þá mun það verða fram að koma og mun eg ekki mega við því gera.“

			„Hefndu vor en vér þín,“ segir Skarphéðinn, „ef vér lifum eftir.“

			Kári kvað svo vera skyldu. Gengu þeir þá inn allir og skipuðust í dyrin.

			Þeir Flosi komu nú heim og skipuðust umhverfis húsin ef nokkurar væru laundyr á. Flosi gekk framan að húsunum og hans menn. Hróaldur Össurarson hljóp þar að sem Skarphéðinn var fyrir og lagði til hans. Skarphéðinn hjó spjótið af skafti fyrir honum og hjó til hans og kom öxin ofan í skjöldinn og bar að Hróaldi þegar allan skjöldinn en hyrnan sú hin fremri tók andlitið og féll hann á bak aftur og þegar dauður.
