Jabbathe was first seen trying to overtake a fortress. They were loosing and Askeladd send out Thorfinn to negotiate with them, suggesting that for half the spoils, they will join them with their 100 men or if they decline, they will join the other side. Jabbathe agreed, although he wasn't planning to split the spoils. With the help of Askeladd, the fortress fell, but to the surprise of Jabbathe, Askeladd had already took all of the spoils, leaving him only the glory of the victory.
