Otkell smites at Gunnar with his sword, and aims at his leg just below the knee, but Gunnar leapt up into the air and he misses him. Then Gunnar thrusts at him the bill, and the blow goes through him.
Then Kolskegg comes up, and rushes at once at Hallkell and dealt him his death-blow with his short sword. There and then they slay eight men.
A woman who saw all this, ran home and told Mord, and besought him to part them.
"They alone will be there," he says, "of whom I care not though they slay one another."
"Thou canst not mean to say that," she says, "for thy kinsman Gunnar, and thy friend Otkell will be there."
"Baggage that thou art," he says, "thou art always chattering," and so he lay still indoors while they fought.
Gunnar and Kolskegg rode home after this work, and they rode hard up along the river bank, and Gunnar slipped off his horse and came down on his feet.
Then Kolskegg said, "Hard now thou ridest, brother!"
"Ay," said Gunnar, "that was what Skamkell said when he uttered those very words when they rode over me."
"Well! thou hast avenged that now," says Kolskegg.
