So anyone have any bonuses to use on the question roll? Hopefully getting it to at lest 20 would make it not so bad but it being in the tens seems like it could be a big issue.

Bare success!
It turns out that pets...animals in general are not really ready for combat. Not in the way Loki would like it--them to be. Sure it can fight for its life if the fight or flight response is activated, but taking orders and remaining calm, and even...not panicking and attacking Loki in confusion, those are things that have to be taught and trained in. Luckiily, Loki is smart, if nothing else, and with some time spent with his brand new pet, he manages to achieve these things. It's not the best combat animal, but at least it isn't the worst.
The Roc can fight with Loki and not panic or attack him. Not much else.

Really, what should a pet owner have to do, to get its pet, that is totally dependent on him to eat and have shelter, to like it? It should almost be...inherent if one asked Loki. But alas, Loki tries and tries to get his pet, his totally dependent awesome flying animal, to like him. They play games and do exercises, and Loki makes sure it recognizes him as its caretaker and...the results are OK. It doesn't love him to death, but it appreciates him. And more importantly, it doesn't hate him.
The Roc doesn't hate Loki. Likes him like a pet/animal likes its caretaker.

Of course, a natural step of pet/owner bonding is to..name the damn thing. It's responsive enough and likes him enough to respond when Loki speaks in its direction and touches it but...he'd rather give the majestic beast a name.
And what a name it will be...

A great success!
There is not a lot wrong with Asgard's checkbook or its finances. In fact, it's almost perfect. And that's what makes this such a...difficult task for Loki to complete, but like everything else financial he does, he manages to get it done. There are minor errors here, and inconsistencies there, and so on, and honestly it's not worth the effort that Loki puts towards it. But either way, at the end of the day, it's done. And Loki now knows everything finance in Asgard. From who trades and how much, to what businesses are contributing and which ones are controlled by who.
-[z] Do an official inspection on all of the businesses in town. DC ???

With balancing the checkbook comes noticing which business are taking a little off the top. And with that, comes suspicion that others might be doing the same, and thus comes an inspection, of every single business in Asgard. The Masons and the Smiths, the Merchants and the Artisans, the Carpenters, the Healers, the Pet Owners, the Farmers, the Gardeners, and so on. Loki visits them all.
Politely, he inspects their work, making sure their craft is up to standard, and more importantly that their finances are. There are some hiccups and attempts at hiding money, but Loki takes care of those.
And now he possesses knowledge of every business in Asgard. It was an enlightening exercise.

With so much focus on the ins of Asgard, Loki doesn't have much time to focus on the outs. The trade. Maybe next time. For now, he was busy...

It is apparently difficult to sneak and hide with a pet roc that loves to fly directly at you and screech loudly in excitement when it does. Loki doesn't mind the good will it's showing, but he does mind the interruption of his training. He supposes that it makes it that much harder to train, which is in some way...helping?
What it doesn't help is his frustration.

Dead on, cliff hanging success.
And...observing things, events, people, is also difficult when a giant bird wants your attention. Constantly. And flies in your view at all times, as if jealous of anything that catches your eye. Again, it is much more difficult for Loki to train his abilities of observation and perception, and he...he needs to get a handle on his giant pet eagle roc thing. And quickly.

What else is hard to do with a loud and restless bird as your pet? Reading. Peace and quiet is what Loki desires, and his pet is having none of that. As such, Loki gets nowhere on his studies and is tempted to enchant something to muzzle the bird and restrict its movement. Tempted. He hasn't done it quite yet.

This one, Loki cannot blame on the bird. It seems almost...mesmerized by his magic. It's quiet, it's obedient it's...just staring. It's a bit uncomfortable but Loki can ignore it. Which means only he is to blame for his failures. This time.

--[z] Father
Roll: 88
Loki has a great conversation with the All-Father on what he's discovered about Asgard's financial situation and its businesses. Odin seems...to be surprised by the informtation, but more surprised at Loki's initiative and ability to find and analyze everything the way he did. The conversation is lively and it goes really really well and....Loki can see some pride and respect twinkling in his father's eyes.
It feels good.

"No. Absolutely not. A Prince has....has a duty to Asgard and its people and cannot be...gallivanting around the galaxy doing who knows what--" The All-Father begins, his expression is one of indignation.
"Odin. Please." Frigga says with a hand on his shoulder. She then turns to Loki. "What your father means to say, is that as prince, you have certain responsibilities to Asgard and to the nine realms. As such, while I'd love for you to be able to spread your wings and fly through the skies of the heavens and achieve everything you dreamed of, you unfortunately cannot. I'm sorry Loki."

Just wanted to check if anyone can remember if Odin and Frigga has ever said yes to us. I honestly can't remember and I am trying to figure out what his current mindset would be.
Ok so we are trapped in Asguard, might as well make the most out of it.
Well until we can prove ourselves responsible enough for it, they never said we couldn't just make the occasional trip outside, Thor did it all the time.

Remember that is, gets everything he wants, Thor not us. In canon Loki found portals to other realms in Asgard to sneak out.
It's not about responsibility it us about being a prince. So we are collared to our people, unless we drop Asguards isolationism we won't be leaving. At best we can vist the nine realms and nothing more.
We really need to focus on magic and science maybe dedicate personal options to it.
Maybe if Thor actually becomes King we can do it, after reaching him proper stewardship of course.

I swear that it really seems like the dice are the equivalent of Tiger Moms/stereotypical asian parents in that they only want Loki to succeed wildly in all things involving academics while making it so that Loki is forced to focus on such things. Which is ironic in that while we are definitely great prince/ruler material trying to go for more 'fun' things tend to screw us over quite a bit.

Loki: Tries to get a hobby.
Dice: "You no have fun! You study more!" Gives Loki a Nat 1.
Loki: "Oh come on!" Tries once again to get a hobby.
Dice: "We said no fun, only prince things!" Give Loki yet another Nat 1.
Loki: "Are you serious!?" Tries to go on an adventure.
Dice: "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson young man!?"

More likely is Odin decides Loki becomes king of the frost giants. Think about it Odin sees he is good at stewardship and decides he ain't going no where and attempts to complete the plan.
Or the frost giant's will reject him due to his status as a runt, do we still have that?

Just realized this but after rolling to Nat 1s we roll an 11 which is pretty much double 1s. That's just hilarious to me.
