'My Lord, upon my sacred rings I swear my fealty to you, but I have a favour to ask. When next you go raiding, take me with you!' the old man spoke, raising laughter from your gathered warriors, 'I am old, yes, but I have been a warrior all my life! For many years I have fought battles, and I have watched all companions of my youth die, but I am cursed, for though I fought with them I was never touched by a blade.' He rises from his knees, 'I am forsaken, bereft. I beg you my lord! Give me a chance to die with honour in battle, to join my friends, to dine with the gods in Valhalla!'

As you awoke to the foggy morning air you sight the charcoal black feathers of a raven perched upon the open window sill. It seems to stare intently into your eyes for a long moment before cawing and taking flight. Later in the day, you consult a Seer over the event, and they claim it was a good omen.
Option A: The All-Father is pleased with my ambition!

Option B: The Seer is wrong, it was a bad omen, Odin has cursed my ambition.
