von Schwarz didn't forgive Torsten right away, still annoyed by what he had implied. "... You needn't worry about it," was the Ritter's simple reply. There were those who would happily do such harm to these people- Albrecht was actually not among their ranks. As much as he hated the practice of usury, von Schwarz found bullying those unable to defend themselves to be demeaning and base, and whenever some gang of fools had tried to incite him into such wanton violence on the basis of the Jews supposedly killing the Lord, the knight had always ignored such idiotic goading and made sure to avoid the company of such brutes in the future.<br/><br/>But the ritter paid close attention to the cautionary tale of the pack of Norsemen who had accidentally tried Kola's patience and paid dearly for it. "Of course we would need to attack all at once," he nodded at the trader's suggestion, agreeing with the idea. "Before we would even attack, we need to figure out more of his resources... especially who he has on his payroll, fighters especially. Surely many of them would have their loyalty hinging upon how well he stuffed their purses, no matter how much they might like or dislike him. I think we would also need to gain the loyalty of our own mercenaries, to do our fighting." He paused for a moment, furrowing his brow. "... of these Norsemen, do you think we might be able to interest them in some sort of revenge? Perhaps get them to work with us?" He knew such possibilities were slim, at best, but he would not leave any stone unturned.
