Martial Roll: 93+30=123, CRIT, 29+30=59 (182)
A tremendous success!
Learning Roll: 65+30=95
A success!
Finally having some control over magic that can be...used in combat, Loki is eager to train and combine both his magic and his martial prowess for (hopefully) even better results. Binding and Sealing is...strange. In some ways, all it takes is a touch to win if one uses it right but...a true master wouldn't even need to touch their opponent. And that's what Loki wanted.
It's not what Loki got, but he still ended up seamlessly meshing his magic use into his hand to hand abilities well enough to the point that it wasn't much of a burden, if at all.
And that just made him that much more deadly.

--[z] War, DC 55
Roll: 47+30=77
Success!
In the past years, Loki has agreed for the need for a Prince such as himself to know war, hopefully without being subjected to all the trauma, fighting, and general Hel-like-ness of the actual thing. He failed before, but...well he was still a Prince and thus he tried again. And this time, his mind allowed him to drink some of it in and learn. He wasn't an expert by any means or a general or anything like that. But he was better than he used to be and actually had some knowledge of it now.
Baby steps.

-[z] Try to woo Sigyn and make her your beloved/girlfriend. DC 30
Roll: 54+15.5+10=79.5
An amazing success!
Sigyn...is amazing. She likes to help people, she's smart, she's beautfiul, and overall she's just a great and wonderful person. And...Loki tells her this, and asks to court her, officially. Sigyn being Sigyn doesn't jump into Loki's arm in joy and cry in happiness, nor does she kiss Loki on the spot. No, Sigyn...smiles, clearly happy, and accepts his offer of courtship. And continues treating him almost exactly the same but...better somehow (despite changing seemingly nothing). And Loki feels...better about it.
Strange.
This might just work out.
Sigyn has accepted Loki's courtship.
-[z] Have a more in-depth conversation with Osmond. DC 30
Roll: 93+15.5=108.5, CRIT, 100+15.5=115.5, CRIT, 34+15.5=49.5 (273.5)
A god-like success!
Osmond as it turns out, has a lot of ambition, when it comes to science and...less than good feelings on the average...living being. After further conversation, it was clear that Osmond only valued two things: Science and Intelligence. And he valued them greatly. Everything else? Not so much. Or...at all.
When it came to science, Osmond wanted it all. He wanted to explore and discover and invent and study everything it had to offer, and more. And with his mind...Loki almost believed he could. He was passionate about it and very good at his passion, and given the chance, no doubt he could accomplish great things.
As far as human interaction goes, he seemed to like Elym well enough, for her intelligence, and he really warmed up to Loki, clearly seeing him as a true comrade and friend. Loki...isn't sure how to feel about that, given their gap in intelligence and logic, but at the end of the day, it was good to have smart and useful friends.
+2.5 Diplomacy
Loki of Learning advances to -30 DC on Diplomacy actions with more intelligent people (20+ Learning)
-[z] Strike a second contract with Asgard to receive even more guards. DC 75
Roll: 24+33=57
Failure.
Asgard...is less than available for contact. And Loki is a bit disappointed that he isn't able to get more guards from them. And he really needed security too.
-[z] Improve Security at Phoenix Financial. DC 80
Roll: 47+33=80
On the dot success.
Again Loki tries to increase security at Phoenix Financial, and utilizes all of his enchantment and sealing experience. With it, Loki makes...a small adjustment to make things better and less at risk. And just in time too.
What does he choose?
Choose one.
[] Enchantments that detect counterfeit currency
[] Enchantments that detect bad will
[] A Binding agreement upon entering the building that they will not steal
[] A Binding agreement upon entering the building that there will be no violence
[] Enchantment of Tracking on all of his money/currency (until it's released to someone else)
-[z] Attempt to collect other currency to improve your Currency Exchange services. DC 65
Roll: 77+33=110, CRIT, 2+33=35 (145)
A great success!
With the new currency exchange service, Loki needs...more. At the moment, he would take any form and convert it to Asgardian standard, and use what he got from those transactions to do other, minor ones. But he needed more, and he knew it. And so he set out with his funds, to buy other world currency in bulk. He didn't get them all, but he did pretty well this time he'd say.
Choose what Currency he got?
Choose 2.
[] Vanaheim's Enchanted Gold
[] Alfheim's Crystals
[] Midgard's...mess.
[] Outer realm currency (in the Nine Realm Galaxies) (costs 2)
[] Nornheim's Grey Stones.
[] Jotunheim's Sparkling Ice (costs 2)
[] Muspelheim's Lava Stone (costs 2)
-[z] Expand Phoenix Financial's reach to the other realms. DC 40
Roll: 1071
A God level success!
Well...this was unprecedented. Loki attempted to expand Phoenix Financial, hoping to reach all of the Nine Realms. He employed the use of advertisements, word of mouth, incentives, and more to get word of his business to spread but...he never expected this. In just a short while, it appears that word had got out to...everyone. Literally everyone. When business rolled in from Midgard, he was curious. Nornheim came and he was pleased. When Jotunheim and Muspelheim (the former giving him strange looks, with their eyes fixed on his burn marks) began to come through, he was...intrigued. When travelers outside of the Nine Realms began using Phoenix Financial, he was shocked to have gotten so far. But when travelers from all over the universe regularly used his business, that is when Loki was flabbergasted and at a loss for words. He truly had nothing.
What?
Why?
How?
All Loki could do was enjoy his success, though Phoenix Financial was beginning to get overwhelmed without other branches. And there was some concern about security with lots of unknown entities coming and going as often as they did. Loki was...well off when he was still receiving his allowance. He had risen to rich with Phoenix Financial's initial success. And now...he had shot past wealthy and achieved heights previously unknown. At this point, he had more money coming in than all of Asgard. What would he even do with it?
+2 Stewardship
Loki gains the trait, Aggressive Expansion: -50 DC or Half DC to Expanding Business to other locations (whichever is lower)
-[z] Continue looking into Mjolnir until you uncover all of its secrets. DC ???
Roll: 73+24=97
Somehow Loki still found the time to further study his brother's dwarven-made weapon. Being up close and personal with it helped, but for now, Loki felt like he had the basics of it, and with hope and more work on his Forging or Enchanting, he may be able to replicate...some of it.
So Mjolnir appeared to be...a focus of some kind, in which someone could channel their magic and amplify it to a point. Loki had originally thought it to naturally have the powers of Lightning and Thunder, as Thor did, but no, it only shot lightning because Thor himself could. On top of that, Mjolnir could track its owner from almost anywhere and travel with increasing speeds, depending on the disitance it needs to travel.
Overall it was a masterful weapon. Truly one of the best.
-[z] Visit the Library, you've heard so much about all of the different books! So much opportunity, so little time...
--[z] Continue Learning Science. DC 45
Roll: 53+20=73
Going to the Library yielded good results when studying Science. Maybe it's due to his talks with Osmond, or just his own prowess, but Loki felt like he had a good grasp on science in general, and while he was nowhere near Osmond level, he was certainly good enough to be considered an intellectual on the subject.
But still, he could know more.
+1.5/5 to Science 3.5/5
--[z] Continue Learning History. DC 55
Roll: 19+20=39
Failure.
Unfortunately history still eludes him. Greatly. He studies and looks and tries to find what he can, but nothing sticks.
-[z] Enchant Something.
--[z] A ring that will Improve Any Skill, Stat, or Magic Gains Made by Loki
Roll: 33+14.5=47.5
Trying to improve the concept of growth...is far beyond Loki's abilities. He attempts to manipulate his magic and guide it through the ring, but...nothing. It's far too much for someone like him. It'd likely take the Dwarves to do it.
-[z] Enchant your enchanted gear to return to you if stolen or lost.
Roll: 28+14.5=42.5
One thing Loki could do, that ironically the Dwarves also did for Mjolnir, is to make his gear come back to him if stolen or lost. Now it wasn't as good as Mjolnir and didn't have the range, but if it was anywhere within a 10 miles range, Loki could call it back to him.
Loki's gear will now return to him, if it's within a 10 mile radius.
-[z] Relationships: Spend time with some of your favorite people in the world!
--[z] Osmond
Roll: 93
Loki and Osmond continue their conversation and go more in depth on what Osmond's beliefs are, and what he can do for Loki and what Loki could do for him. Their friendship is constantly growing, and Loki finds himself more comfortable with his logical former-classmate. Even Osmond seems to treat Loki with...well he treats him almost...nice. Which is against what Osmond is as a person. It was almost worse than having the snarky boy from before hang around him. But Loki would get used to it.
--[z] Elym
Roll: 31
Elym still doesn't talk much or say...anything. But she does grunt and make non-commital sounds as Loki talks to her, trying to gauge her level of interest and what she wants. He still has no idea, but at least she seems to be warming up? Maybe?
-[z] Enchant Phoenix Financial badges
--[z] For your security force, giving location/communication to each other and to provide mind magic defense.
Roll:3+9.5=12.5
The Enchantment of the badges goes...badly. Some don't work, while others knock the wearer out on contact, likely with Mind Magic. All of them appear to be connected, letting the wearers hear each other's thoughts with no stop gap, and it's at random variables that cause quite a shock when it activates. More than once, a flood of thoughts had knocked out a guard or two who didn't expect it. At the end of the day, the badges had to be destroyed. Forever. And Loki had to order more. It wasn't the cost of the badges but the failure that stung.
-[z] Improve ring/collar combo to protect against mind magic
Roll: 21+9.5=30.5
Unfortunately, Loki doesn't have much success protecting against Mind Magic on his own ring or Hábrók 's collar. It just...doens't stick in anyway. IT's another disappointment as far as his enchantment goes, the third in recent times. Back to the drawing board.
-[z] Accept
Loki Roll: 12.5+5+5+30-25=27.5
Thor Roll: 25+42-25+15+5-30=33
Loki accepts...and he wishes he didn't.
It's not a bad fight, again Loki uses his speed and his nerve strikes to keep Thor at bay, and again Thor fells him with a headbutt. But Loki learns and recovers quickly, not allowing his opponent to ground and pound. So Thor gets his hammer, Mjolnir, and Loki...can do nothing about it. Mjolnir hits hard and fast and...well Thor didn't need much strength in his arms to throw it. As a result, Loki lost, and was on the ground, while Thor grinned from above him.
"You lose brother. But don't worry, after this, we will be even." Thor explains soothingly. And then he raises the hammer and Loki's vision goes black. When he wakes up again...well let's just say he rather not relive the experience. Let's just say Loki was hung up in the middle of town, make up put on his face, tied up and unable to move, with braided hair, a sign that says 'God Goddess of Chastity? Or Daddy's Little Girl?" And nothing on his person but a dress. And with the angle he was hung....yeah the least said about this, the better. And the entirety of Asgard seemed to be out that day. Luckily Sigyn heard the commotion and ended his misery after two or so hours (most of the time figuring out how to reach him and cut him down) and even managed to free Hábrók from the makeshift cage Thor seemed to have imprisoned him in. In the cage was a letter that just said "Revenge complete. We're now even, Loki."
Loki...let's just say he won't be showing his face much for the next century. He's only lucky that no one outside of his family knows about Phoenix Financial being his or this could be detrimental. The sheer embarrassment...
-[z] Politely reject her. (Loki's reasoning: I have finally worked up the courage to court Sigyn, so accepting this would be rude to both of them.)
Loki puts her down politly, citing his relationship with Sigyn. The woman doesn't seem to mind, she only shrugs and walks away. Which is...strange.
-[z] Of course.
Sigyn and Loki's relationship has continued to improve, as they go further into courtship. They avoid anything...inappropriate due to the courting rules, but they do get closer and closer. At this point, Sigyn is probably the person closest to Loki, and she is exceedingly loyal and committed to him.
