[z] Teach Sigyn the ways of the spear (with Eldir). DC 40
Roll: 1213.5
The combined effort of Eldir and Loki works well to teach Sigyn the way of the spear. The different perspectives that both sides hold, does a lot for Sigyn's understanding, allowing her to pick up skills almost equal to either of them. A master of the spear, one could call her, now she just needed a powerful spear to use...
Sigyn's Spear skill: 5.2/5
Loki and Eldir's AL: 3.0
Sigyn and Eldir's AL: 5.0
[z] Speak with the Dwarf King Eitri. DC 70
- [z] With Sigyn (Primary)
Roll: 93
With his wife's help, Loki manages to procure a meeting with King Eitri. The king is no doubt cross that Loki has taken his spot, taken his authority over Nidavellir, and doubly so that it was under the orders of a false Queen (Amora). The fact that Odin let her decree remain, irks King Eitri, but at least now that they've spoken, Eitri doesn't seem to blame Loki or feel negatively towards him.
King Eitri +.1 AL
[z] Improve Security at DARPA. DC 60
Roll: 91
Increased security is always a good thing and Loki manages just that, with his DARPA business. More high tech security cameras and more defined security measures are all he manages, but it's enough. For now.
[z] Try to find out where Torunn is. DC 170
- [z] With Sif (Primary)
Roll: 196+ 10 (Double Down) = 206
Eager to help and find her daughter, Sif spares no effort to aid Loki in his search. It is odd, as Torunn has left behind almost no trace of where she was and where she is, but through reasoning and observation, Loki and Sif are able to put the pieces together. Torunn and Hellbindi clearly have some kind of history together, and it isn't positive. Hellbindi is known as a demon and generally doesn't see wrong actions as being wrong. And coincidentally, as she has disappeared, Hellbindi has claimed that he has a new wife and something 'cool' to show Loki. So logic dictates that Torunn is likely with Hellbindi being held captive.
Loki has to restrain Sif from leading the Valkyrie straight to Jotunheim in an attempt to free her daughter, reminding her of the likely result: war. He also reminds her that they have no proof, and that thanks to Loki's stint over there, Jotunheim is plenty prepared to fight due to high levels of technology.
Sif relents. For now.
[z] Increase your Ice Powers. DC 120
Roll: 892
Through intense study of the Jotun body, Loki manages to find a way to increase his ice powers. Sheer intelligence isn't the only thing to it, but it definitely helps when one lacks the training and the instincts as Loki does.
Unfortunately, the ice won't transfer to Loki's next body unless he clones his current one or repeats the action, but he does now know how to increase his ice powers, and replicating it will be much easier.
Loki gains +7 Ice, lowers DC to repeat the action. Ice doesn't carry over to new body.

[z] Look into Demons and see what Loki could learn about what Tyr has done. DC ???
Roll: 96
Loki doesn't find much about demons, even after studying. He finds almost nothing concrete, only legends and myths, and...a certain ritual. Mistakenly, Loki activates said ritual and before him is an all-red demon with red hair, and a...devilish look about him. The demon appears happy to see him, though Loki can tell that he's not fully realized, not fully tangible. With the demon comes hellfire and red smoke, all part of the presentation surely.
The demon grins wide, steps out of the summoning circle and looks around.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." The demon then turns to Loki and sticks out a hand, for Loki to shake. "Mephistopheles at your service. I've heard so, so much about you, young Loki." Loki can't help but to be hesitant to shake his hand, or to even touch the demon. Seeing this with his own eyes, Mephistopheles pulls back his hand. "Perhaps afterwards...well Loki, tell me, what do you need of me? I am Mephisto, the demon of deals, willing to grant you any request, for the right price. Just name it, and it shall be done." He proclaims with a slight bow as he conjures what looks to be a Mjolnir look-a-like in his hand, reaching it towards Loki, who still wants nothing to do with it.
What does Loki do/say?
[] Shake his hand and ask for a rain check
[] Loki does want something. More power.
[] What Loki wants is... (Write-In)
[] Loki wants nothing of this demon! Begone!
[z] Test your Astral Projection. DC 50
Roll: 56
Testing his Astral Projection doesn't go...exactly well. Loki gets the basics down, figuring out that he can travel outside of his body (if he had one) and can travel much faster as an Astral Projection. The magic was pretty self-explanatory for now, simply allowing Loki to move freely outside of his body, and reach places he's never reached. It also allowed him to survive as a spirit.
[z] Ask someone to teach you more Magic. DC ??? Diplomacy. DC ??? Magic.
Loki wants to learn magic, but...he has to decide from who? Obviously some people will be easier than others, so Loki has to decide who is best.
Who does he choose?
[] Sigyn
[] Lorelei
[] Amora
[] King...Eitri?
[] Frigga/His Mother
[] ...Karnilla of the Norns?
[] Odin
[] Hellbindi
[] Habrok
[] [Learn Magic] Write-In
[] Nevermind, just move on
[z] Relationships: Spend time with some of your favorite people in the world!
- [z] Father
Roll: 21
Unfortunately, Loki and his father Odin cannot come to terms on a time to meet. The little communication they do share, has Odin seemingly stressed and unhappy with Eitri's...crossness and nothing seems to match up.
Other:
-----------
Egil asks Loki for a Stewardship Artifact
[z] Sure
Loki agrees to allow Egil a Stewardship Artifact, the only question is...does Loki make him one himself, or does he have the dwarves forge it?
[] Loki does it (uses one of his current or future actions)
[] The dwarves do
Tyr wants to trade with Loki
[z] Trade
Tyr's trade is...odd. First, he offers a ring of magic protection (around +50) for a look at Loki's memories/life as he senses anomalies in Loki's existence. He'd like to make a copy of memories as well, to look back on later.
He also offers a powerful hammer called Ice Crusher (+20 combat, +20 ice) in return for a 'hefty' supply of Loki's various serums. Tyr wants to be able to order serums from Loki as he needs them, with a limit (for each order) being set by Loki. He wants to start with 5 serums each at the moment.
Tyr then offers to accompany Loki to his set meeting with Hellbindi, and offers himself as a bodyguard for the serums, if Ice Crusher isn't wanted or needed (so no Ice Crusher, but Tyr acts as a bodyguard).
And he offers all three for a special price of sealing Loki's Forging Magic into himself.
[] Take the first offer (ring of magic protection for memories)
[] Take the second offer (Ice crusher for serums)
[] Take the third offer (bodyguard for serums)
[] Take the first and second offer
[] Take the first and third offer
[] Take the third offer (ring of magic protection, Ice Crusher, and bodyguard for Loki's Forging)
[] [Tyr] Write-In
Eldir wants to know if Loki would like his aid on Nidavellir (become a hero unit)
[z] Yes
Eldir seems to be a good soul that only wants to help. Given his earlier actions with Sigyn, and their close relationship, Loki can't help but to agree to having Eldir help him here on Nidavellir. It seems like the start of a beautiful relationship.
Hellbindi wants to show Loki something 'cool'.
[z] Check it out.
Given the discovery of Torunn's likely whereabouts and Sif's...eagerness, Loki has to figure out how he wants to handle this Hellbindi visit. If he brought too many people, Hellbindi might get jumpy or not allow him in, but if he brought no one...rescuing Torunn may be impossible. Assuming Loki and Sif's observations are correct. So did Loki want to bring other people with him? If so, who?
[] [Hellbindi] Write-In
[] No, don't bring anyone
Amora asks for a favor.
[z] Hear her out.
Long story short, Amora wants...a crown, one that increases her mental powers. She also wants enough favor to order more forged artifacts if need be, and without Odin finding out about it. Loki is uneasy at going behind his father's back, but Amora has always been a friend and she is the one who gave him reign over Nidavellir in the first place. Does he grant her favor?
[] Yes, have the Dwarves make her a crown
[] Yes, have Loki make the crown
[] Partially, she gets the crown, but nothing more
[] No
[] [Amora] Write-In
What does Skrullos focus on this turn?
[z] [Skrullos] Military Might
Roll: 43
Skrullos is a different beast, one that already has a fair amount of military might, rivaling the Kree, and the Nova Force. Unfortunately, efforts to increase their already considerable military might, fails.
What does Loki tell Sigyn to focus on with Phoenix Financial?
[z] Technology
Roll: 81
Sigyn focuses on technology, and manages to update the safes with more high tech pieces, doubling the security to not just be magical and physical, but also technological. It's rather revolutionary in the world of banking, to be fair.
Does Nidavellir focus on anything?
[z] [Nidavellir] Security
Roll: 31
Unfortunately, Nidavellir is far to busy and in disarray to take time out to focus on security or make any strides towards it.
