It occurs to me; does our family know about the draugr we killed, or will they find out when we finalise the poem?

Ope, my bad, fixingAnd going over the character sheet I'm seriously considering moving training dice to put one into Artcraft or Wordplay or both, I wasn't aware they were only 2 successes from ranking up. Ugh. So many things to buy...
Is there a good reason why we're suddenly dumping the majority of our dice into Ignition?
I did just cut back on that, but the big reason is because they double when we do it. Dice put towards Ignition are just better than ones put towards anything else, as long as the Ignition trick is something we want, and mobility and ranged attacks both very much are.
How would a mobility trick even work in this? What would it do mechanically? Should also mention that sustained flight probably won't be possible with Ignition; or rather it wouldn't be efficient. According to Imperial, Ignition specialises in explosions are short bursts of intense heat, rather than sustained fire. A jump-pack/boost/thing should be possible though.
Eh, I'm not convinced about that. In terms of our basics (as in Pierce, Bash, Chop, etc.) we're behind the curve when compared to 20 year old - which is the average age for raid trials - and while we can still probably pass, I don't see why we're neglecting them.
At this rate, we'll just keep accumulating hugareida or some other thing that will take our attention and forget about our basics.
Why did Gabrial have such a weird reaction? And why did Jeremus get between us? And why did Hallr hiss?
Move you around places. Most single combat scenarios don't require movement tricks, but on the battlefield? Where there might be a mass of warriors or a wall between you and someone you love getting hurt? Significantly more usefulHow would a mobility trick even work in this? What would it do mechanically?
[X] Discard the Poem
[X] Plan And Finally The Meteor
Please, let's go with an offensive trick. Our flying artillery has been loitering with nothing to do for too long.
Yeah, Rocket Jumping should easily be in our wheelhouse. That being said, I've got an alternate suggestion for our offensive Trick @DeadmanwalkingXI , namely, could we switch it instead to just be detonating explosive charges on our attacks? A ranged attack isn't really playing to our strengths right now, and since we're already training a Mobility Trick, this'd be a better way to do it. "Strike a target and then fire ignites" is probably a hands-free way of using it, if only because "Steel on Flint" is one of the earliest ways of igniting a fire in the first place. It'd be weird if this still required a free hand to trigger in light of that.
Wildfire's probably better for the more general fire projection tricks anyway.
I mean, just suggesting "Use our Fylgja as flying artillery" got a lot of pushback in the past. And giving it a proper defense would mean losing it for ourselves. Unless we can learn a Trick twice and have one for our Owl and one for ourselves at least.
That's certainly an option going forward (and getting new Ignition Tricks is not hard)...but I think having a ranged option is worthwhile, and as KreenWarrior notes, we can potentially pass it off to our fylgja once we get a defensive trick for them, which is not a bad idea at all long term.
It being hands free also means we can use it in melee, and having us suddenly breathe fire or shoot eye lasers at the people we're fighting seems pretty useful.
I mean, projecting explosions seems at least as effective as projecting fire for artillery. Also I think part of the pushback for owl-tillery is that it hasn't had a better means of attack than "maybe drop rocks?" yet.Wait a sec, ERA is on the table for us?
Okay, that would go a long way towards making it very scary. Though straight up fire projection is probably better done with Wildfire or something similar, right?
It's more that Fire Breath and Eye Beams aren't really what come to mind when I think "Explosions", which is what Imperial Fister said Ignition mostly revolves around.
It's more that Fire Breath and Eye Beams aren't really what come to mind when I think "Explosions", which is what Imperial Fister said Ignition mostly revolves around, and I'm not keen on wasting our precious time and resources on a potential dead end or a poor use of our Hugareida.
It's not Wildfire, which is all about burning things on a wide scale. It's about short duration high intensity explosions.

HISSS!!!!!Hugareida Trick Training: 3, 5, 6, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3) 11 Successes
Heh. Could have been a training talk, but still fun."Hallr!" You roar at the voice in your head.
'What?!' The voice in your head roars back.
"Teach me fire!"
'Fine!'
...does this work on living flesh/meat too? To keep off infections and such.Runes wrap around the surface of the stick, carved and colored red. According to Blackhand, it's a meat-keeping stick. Which is a stick you stab into meat to keep it fresh for extended lengths of time.
Its shiny new thing. i don't like the fire eyes either, don't worry.Is there a good reason why we're suddenly dumping the majority of our dice into Ignition?
she doesnt have a negative opinion though?I'm not actually super confident on what to do, but Drifa is our one remaining family member with a negative opinion of us.
Hrm, since this would be resolved in universe pretty easily just by bouncing it off of Blackhand. @Imperial Fister , is Ignition any good at these kinds of ranged fire projection tricks? Or would we have to find some other medium to get what people want out of it?
Because there's no way I can see an "Explosive Stare" as being cheap or particularly effective.
yeah, cant really think of a better one, except the drifa part, but not because of her, just the reasoning behind it.
she doesnt have a negative opinion though?
For possible replacement, how about a pure skill spar with Gabriel?
-[] (Personal) Gabriel, he's always down for a spar.
--[] He did said he was constrained to less obvious prayers, make it a pure skill and body enchantment spar. No trick or hugreida or prayer other than those, if he can use those, ofc.
Also, perhaps asking recommendations from Steinar? just so, we have alternatives for later, as well as to use stuff in friendly competitions.
--[] Ask about what tricks he would recommend for: defense, dodging, movement (mention the after images we seen by both the slagson and the draugr), and throwing. Preferably cheap ones.
For the mobility trick, i doubt we could do what Steinar did.... at least, in one go. with a lot of explosions though? easy. Booster assisted jumps and attacks incoming, perhaps?
As for Hallr, perhaps ask him if he knows anything about the far east?
Uness there are other questions?
I'm very hesitant to give you guys a 'stare at people and they explode' ability, at least this early on. So I'm gonna say that stuff like that isn't on the table, at least right now.@Imperial Fister , is Ignition any good at these kinds of ranged fire projection tricks? Or would we have to find some other medium to get what people want out of it?
Because there's no way I can see an "Explosive Stare" as being cheap or particularly effective.
The bossfight won't happen next turn. I'm preparing a special thing for itI'd rather not spar in a turn where we're likely to have combat, which this upcoming turn is. We won't learn much without spending orthstirr.
I didn't think of that, but sure... though walking around with a wooden stick in you can't be very comfortable. Think of it as the size of a No 2 pencil or something along those lines...does this work on living flesh/meat too? To keep off infections and such.
More or less, yes. Don't expect it to be especially cheap, but you could, theoretically, do it.
CorrectOkay, that would go a long way towards making it very scary. Though straight up fire projection is probably better done with Wildfire or something similar, right?
