So... since we're saying my character found Throgrim and Einar by using Divination, do you want to make up one that would have led her to find them here? Or do you want me to do it?
I'm thinking this: she used the Divination some time ago (months? even years?), and it told her of their pursuit of the exiled berserker. For whatever reason, she couldn't actually find Hergierr himself via Divination (I'll leave that part up to you
), and so she instead turned to tracking down his friends' current whereabouts, and the Divination predicted that they would meet upon the road at this place and time (since Nanshork wants to RP out he and Thorgrim meeting again). So she set off to catch up with them before they got to this point. She might not even know their names, only have some vague descriptions of them (Thorgrim might be the hardy son of Grendel's Bane, and Einar might be the Hound of Sif, or something like that.
) So she'll have to piece together which ones are actually her son's old friends by observing (or questioning) them.
I'm going to just go on with this as her (extended) backstory, unless someone has a protest/addition to it.
