After marring Thorild he moved to Haukadal (Hawksdale) where he built a farm. When his slaves started a landslide on the neighbouring farm Valthjof. Valthjof's friend, Eyiolf, killed the slaves. When Thorget borrowed a shovel from Erik and refused to return it Erik stool the shovel back and in a later case killed Thorget.
