NorseQuest (A Norse Xianxia)

Reader mode
Well, that went pretty okay. Good.

Apparently Stoking Strike adds +1 damage per 3 Stoked Dice put into it. That's actually pretty ridiculous when examined, and good info to have. If we want to use that as a Finisher, it's a viable one...we could easily exceed Sparkbomb's damage if we build up our Stoked Pool enough over a couple of turns.

Sagaseeker has 49 orthstirr in his reservoir. He can be Sharpened 76/100 more times.

Wait. @Imperial Fister don't Crowfeeder's Runes (or the variant we used) make Sagaseeker auto-repair every attack? Why is this still counting down?

I'll say that you can, but you can't do the instant slash thing with one of those tricks.

Check. that makes sense.

Thanks for reminding me! Ghostly weapon defenses seem to be kind of OP, so I'm thinking on changing it so that they don't use combat dice. If you want to put silly amounts of dice in there, you need to give it silly amounts of orthstirr.

This seems reasonable as a ruling to prevent abuses. So it'd get its Hugareida dice by default (1d right now) and then we'd have to build its dice entirely with Orthstirr from there? And it'd continue to function until broken just as it has been?

In terms of the vote:

[X] Fight the beast as part of a group

We are, as mentioned, pregnant, and there are potential diplomatic concerns, plus the whole 'hubris' thing. That said, single combat is also potentially viable, I'm just a tad more cautious.

Correct. Once it's out, though, you don't have to fuel it again unless it breaks

Watch it, I'd be willing to try it if we didn't have to Perfect Run the damn thing. Fight it as a team, it's a proper Monster and should be treated accordingly.

No worries, these things happen.

Cool. That definitely works then.

Oh! We should have only 17 Odr here, I think? That's what the character sheet says, anyway.

Gotta echo this. We're pregnant folks, let's not risk a miscarriage out of pride, huh?

Pregnant, and this is literally the offspring of something that has both (or will) eaten god-flesh and will kill gods in the future.

Like, sure Halla's good, and thinly divine blooded herself, but like....
This will be the first time we've fought something only two generations from divine.
Seriously, unless I'm mistaken, this thing is effectively the grandchild of a god (if only in spirit)
Until we have a better grasp on what that means, play it a bit safer.

Where did you get this from? Fenrir isn't in its immediate parentage at all. It's only been said that very rarely will the blood of Fenris flow stronger in a wolf, resulting in a Fenriskin... not that they're the grandchildren of Fenris himself.

I'm like 99% sure none of us would stand a chance if that was the case, regardless of whether we fought in a group or not.

I was planning on calling it today. However, as the vote is looking to be close, I may extend it to tomorrow. I'll give it another half hour to see
 
[ ] (Unlocked: Bold) Challenge the Fenriskin to single combat!
[X] Fight the beast as part of a group

Forgot Halla pregs my B

Let me tip the scales a bit. I smell a kenning guys.
Also there is something about a decendent of Odin fighting a child of the Fen dweller.

Question @Imperial Fister
1. Is it possible for Giant's blood to impart talents for certain things? Like Loki and Utgard's illusion based Seidr or Surtr's Fire/World Ender properties?
2. Loki was Jotunar so could Fenriskin be likened to a version of that?
3. In the vein of Fenriskin could a horse have Slepnirkin?

Again, this thing is a boss level monster and we can't afford to take any Endurance Damage.

I do not want Halla to be the kind of person who picks these kinds of fights when there is literal babby inside her. I'm still up for fighting it, and likely getting a cut as a result (Notably, Halla and Abjorn can probably duo it with relative ease, Abjorn can lock it into a pin and then Halla can explode its ass with a folded Sparkbomb while it's stuck), but we were warned not to piss others off with hubris, and we're still in the rookie tier of the Valley's Top Tiers, work as a team, take our cut, and we'll still do well. We've already had a strong start by bagging three wolves with elemental advantage on us in a group of 9 when we had close to numerical parity after all.

In NorseQuest, giants are not Jotnar. Giants are creatures like Grendel. Jotnar, Aesir, and Vanir are all the same kind of being, it's just that they're different groups of them.

For question number 3, it is very much possible.
 
I doubt Halla is the generation starting horseback riding traditions considering her build is to rocket boost around making them redundant.

Perhaps the successive generations can jumpstart a family tradition depending on how things go like how Halla is getting Nordic Plate Armor ideas.
 
3 Generations down the line.

We are playing a Norse wearing Knightly-like armor, riding a bonded horse, Probably get some demesne to rule as lords jarls, have a Monastery Norse school for cultivation with religious rituals established rites and some squires tradition young warriors training nailed down. And probably bound any Cultivator we train with some liege oaths Warband oaths to persecute a war against the Enemy.

Oh, and are jesus claim lineage to gods.

Imperial Fister - "Well, I guess I can shelve the Christain Knight Quest for now."
