Refuse to pick up the axe.

An annoyed snort came from Gyda as Tjorvi pushed the axe out of the way, and made it very clear that he wasn't intending on actually throwing it. Everyone around seemed to be equally confused - what kind of drengr refused to throw an axe when given the opportunity? Tjorvi went off to participate in the festivities, but nobody paid him a lot of attention. The next day, he woke up by himself. Completely hungover and with nothing to show for.

It was time to go home, nobody was going to allow him to join the raids after the missed opportunities...

(I'd suggest going back or starting over to get to the real adventure.)
