Eed's a newcomer? Hi Eeds =)
One error, Polly: "He moved with the graceful ease of a warrior, and on his back hung a mighty war hammer" Warhammer is one word. Or a hyphened one. Pick one =P
And niceness =) Though I think it's a bit out of character for Halldór to stand without protest after a slap...I'd've figured him as the type of person who takes a demeaning act like a slap with rage rather than submission =S
Hmm, Siggi, at first he didn't see any value in the dwarf (he's short, how can he be powerful), but after he so easily struck him (plus the fact that he had a weapon), he decided it mightn't be a bad idea to go along with this guy's wishes.
