@DeadmanwalkingXI , if we get a poetry inspiration out of this fight, can we get Halla to create the poetry? It would be so cool, not to mention the orthstirr gains have to be quite good for the feat to have been witnessed by so many badass warriors.
So, we get Orthstirr right off the bat for the fight and the witnesses, no poetry composition necessary.
If we spent an action making Poetry later, we would get Orthstirr from doing so only for the poem, which is based purely on rolled successes on the Wordplay roll, so, on average, about 8 Orthstirr, 13 if we can use Frenzy. If we wait until we've upped Hugr and Hugr Infusion, and spend an Odr, maybe we can make that 16 or so and maybe an ancillary benefit. That's worth an action if it ups Odr income by 1. It's not worth an action otherwise, I don't think. Now, it upping Odr income will 100% be the case at some point and we'll likely write Poetry when it is (if we can free up the action, anyway), but probably not until then.
In the meantime, not spending an action doesn't mean Halla doesn't compose poetry, necessarily, it means the poetry she's composed isn't being widely distributed yet because she doesn't think it's ready...it's the distribution that grants the Orthstirr, after all.
This is more a wuxia really. It's also atypical in that the cultivation system is unknown, the cultivation system(s) as well.
Blackhand threw a ship from Norway to Persia and we've talked with Thor. We're not personally wildly powerful, but this is definitely a xianxia world, if not a super high powered one as xianxia goes.
Having thought about it, Wolf is probably about as strong as Dorri in net, and no stronger. Moonless Night seems really pretentious as far as names go. I mean, naming yourself as the monster who ate the Moon? That's like naming yourself Thor.
Thinking about it further, the Wolf is a narrative opponent for Dorri specifically, as they are both Jarls with their own Hirds.
This is plausible, but not certain. I could still see it anywhere between Almost Peak and Peak.
