At this point in the saga the manuscript becomes difficult to read and there is a gap in the story. We can gather than Brodd-Helgi is killed as was prophesied and Geitir fosters his son, Bjarni at Krossavik. After Bjarni grows up, he becomes angry at Geitir during a conversation and kills him, an act which he immediately regrets. Nobody demands compensation from Bjarni and he returns home to Hof. Thorkel, Geitir's son, is not in Iceland at the time of Geitir's death but upon his return, denies Bjarni's attempt to compensate for him for the killing.
