Six Stages of Drinking as told by Vikings

I loved this so much I just had to get the figs (by Wargames Foundry). Not sure what  I'll do with them gaming wise mind you...
Having a beer and a snack
Having a Beer and a snack
Stage 1. After a long day, Björn has his dinner. And what goes better with a turkey leg than beer?

Telling a tall tale

Stage 2. Magnhild has had her dinner. And a few beers. Now Magnhild is telling that famous story of the time she defeated seven enemies in combat. Of course it is a long tale, so she needs more beer.


Seeking a partner
Stage 3. Halvor and Ingriðr have had dinner and a few beers. They've told a few stories and had a few more beers. Now they seek each other's comfort and a hug and a kiss. Beer: helping people get lucky since 876.

 Stage 4. Ketilriðr has had dinner and a few beers. He told a few stories had a few beers, and some admirers have given him some hugs and kisses. Ketilriðr doesn't really need any more beer, but he is convinced this is the best thing to do, so he chugs off a bucket to slake his thirst.

 Stage 5. Roald has had dinner and a few beers. He told a few stories, had some hugs and kisses, and chugged off a bucket to slake his thirst. Now Roald has passed out and is visiting the land of Nod.
