Out of curiosity, what made you folks click on the quest for the first time?
"Huh, Norse themed quest? Lets look. Ooh, mystique exploration. Will involve battle, but it passes the sniff test of not looking battle obsessed."
"Long have I waited," the Fenriskin's voice is disturbingly human—a voice perfectly suited to tricking households out into the open, "long have I fed from the scraps thrown to me from the feasting table, but now it is time for me to feast. He calls me Moonless Night and I am why you fear the setting sun."
Mani remains uneaten and Hati
will remain hungry tonight!
God, if we get a Sun Muna out of this, that'll be so god damn cool.
That one would be worth setting up to be Inherited. Sun in particular feels to be very high tier.
Yeah, though i'm more fond of the idea of a moon muna, ursurped from the big doggo.
Moonlit night.
It would go
so well with Abjorns shadow power.
Thematically sun is anti shadow, a light banishing darkness. Hallas new powerthematics would be opposed to Abjorns, weakening.
But moon? That is a light in the darkness of night.
Making herself brighter (strengthening her fire symbolism) and the surrounding darker (strengthening Abjorns shadow power, could also be gread for symbolism if he gets a "Shadebear" kenning or something like that (*cough* Halla does poetry and could influence how the general Zeitgeist sees Abjorn *cough*)).
Abjorn being around Halla, Halla being Abjorns light, (if we ignore the exception of the Mutton incident) would fit their relationship really well, too.
Kinda gutted that we went for the risk-averse option here rather than GLORIOUS SINGLE COMBAT.
I'm fairly sure that the miscarriage mechanic already been removed after a previous discussion, which makes this more perplexing. (Why the hell are we hunting at all if 1 Endurance damage is so dangerous?) If it hasn't, then this vote IMO is a good illustration of how it tends to push outcome towards less narratively interesting and exciting options. Disappointing, but c'est la vie.
Anyway, onwards and upwards, and welcome to the newcomers to the Quest, very exciting to see some new blood!
"less narratively interesting and exciting" options? For some maybe.
And the risk needn't be linear. (First endurance damage having equal risk to the second or third)
Why did we go hunting if 1 Endurance damage is dangerous? Because we made assumptions about the risk and deemed it worth it. As opposed to this fight where we made assumptions and decided it isn't worth the risk.
And uh, THIS is the assesment Halla makes after any fear effect being broken, while having a team with her with multiple people stronger than her:
Death is a very real possibility here, but if you have to die then you'd like to at least gouge his eyes out before you go.
I'd guess this we'll win if we play it right and the dicenornir don't decide to screw us over.
Soloing? I assume we'd have been killed without a miracle. Halla might have turned it into both ending by sticking Sagaseeker into Moonlessnights throath while being chewed on, though. Could have made an interesting Saga beat.
