The next children must be a snake, an horse and maybe something more exotic. How can we give our child an Elephant Fylgja or a Dragon Fylgja?

I want to make Loki look like an amateur in producing magical children.

I don't think a Dragon Fylgja is possible, maybe another Fylgja can turn into a dragon but I don't think it's possible as a base form

As for the Elephant taking a wild shot in the dark i'd guess maybe something involving a long memory, possibly giant's blood and possibly the Hugr enhancing trait as well

Dragon strikes me as an Evolution of some kinds of Fylgja. Not something you can get easily.

Agreed.

If I was doing Elephant I'd have it do a mix of Bear and Owl. x1.5 on both Endurance and Capacity. Because Big and Tough + Memory.

To stay true to Loki, Abjorn has to be the one that gives birth <edit: missing Part of the sentence> to the horse</edit>.

Horse Fylgja... Evolve to unicorn?

Eh, given stuff like Ilmarinen's Flame (the fire of a literal god) is possible, I'm inclined to think Dragon is possible, but I imagine it'd be as hard to obtain and as esoteric as the forementioned Ilmarinen's Flame.
 
Just a mention that dragons are often refered to as snakes (in a degradatory manner).

But yeah, it says a lot there is a possibility at all to turn your fylgja into a dragon.

Kinda curious what would you need for it though.... greed perhaps?
 
now the important question. can owls become dragon:p?

I mean, we are Cindersoot, so we already have fire. and wizard owl collecting treasure. now we just need to merge it with a lizard

unrelated question, but can we make an item with runes interacting with our Hugareida? maybe something letting ignition or the like penetrate fire resistance, for example?
 
We've got one more Fylgja Evolution ahead of us I think? The one at 10.

I think afterwards, it's not evolutions anymore, just steadily getting better at what it was already good at.

Snake is already wealth, and that does seem like where you'd start. From there you probably need, like, fire-related things and combat related things? Maybe?

I mean, IF said dragons are as varied as daurgrs so, i do not see why not.... the question is, how for we would need to push and what conditions there are for it...

Dragons are generally a 'get out of Dodge' sort of deal.

Dragons are a lot like draugar in that they have wildly differing power levels that depends entirely on the dragon in question.

also, do note though, Dragons are powerfull creatures. they do not need to be greedy to amass treasures, they just need to survive the people coming to kill them.
--- Edit: from the begining of the quest:
Imperial Fister said:
In this instance, with the snake earning you money, that's because snakes and dragons, which often hoarded wealth, were thought to be the 'same' creature — sort of, but I'm not going to go into details here. As such, the snake was a symbol of monetary luckiness — and also death, and also wisdom, and also lies, and also and also and also. And for the Norse, being lucky was pretty much the be-all-end-all of your standing in society — to a degree, but I am very tired and don't want to go into any more depth than I already have.

So, Snakes MIGHT really be the ones with dragon options... them and perhaps lizards. ---- Edit end.

Probably can be done as a jewelry.... something something "no kindling shall remain unburned" or something... probably need to channel the tricks through them, somehow though.

Maybe there will be another evolution at 14? I remember that Hugr and Hamr gain something more at 14, why not Fylgja?

With Hamr we could probably unlock higher level Shapeshifting, like turning into animals.

With Hugr i am not sure, maybe something related to Hugareida? Or something that allows us to think faster?

Speaking of Hugareida, we still have Alloy slots, what could we make?

It's 13, and they all get more stuff then, but IF has implied they don't get anything truly new after 10, only improving existing things.

We're gonna make Firestorm soon-ish, so that's one slot filled. Beyond that and maybe Wildfire it's hard to find other good Alloy options.

  • [X] Plan I Think You Need An Exorcism
    -[X] Stoke Frami (+220 Orthstirr)
    -[X] 46d6 Attack (34d6 tricks)
    -[X] 65d6 Defense (65d6 tricks)
    -[X] 0d6 Intercept
    -[X] Sling our Bolt Thrower, pull Sagaseeker and move into melee
    -[X] Activate Stoker State 3 (-9 Orthstirr), Slipstream (-8 Orthstirr), and Ember-Wing Cloak (-6 Orthstirr) as combat begins (all subsequent attacks and defenses benefit from Skyfire).
    -[X] Use Identify Concept on the sword Thomas is holding (-3 Orthstirr)
    -[X] Once we've used Hefty-Halter Chop (whether it works or not), use Orthstirr Enhanced x126 Banishing Rebuke adding 3 Odr (-150 Orthstirr, -3 Odr) to attempt to free him from whatever spirit has entered his body.
    -[X] If the fight is still going after the exorcism make a total of two 60d6+5 Sharpenedx21 Lightning-Charged Flashfire Cleave attacks w/Puncture (-36 Orthstirr each), followed by twelve 12d6+5 Sharpened x5 Lightning-Charged Basic Attacks (-6 Orthstirr each), trying not to kill him unless necessary in all cases
    -[X] Against his first attack use a 65d6+9 Reinforcedx17 Hefty-Halter Chop (-20 Orthstirr) to hopefully disarm him. Do this even before the Semi-Halting Vortex gets a chance to work.
    -[X] Against the next three attacks use Contested Movement (again even before our Semi-Halting Vortex) with one use of Fight Of Our Life each (-3 Orthstirr, 15d6+5) and counterattack with Lightning-Charged combo attacks with Firebomb Strike + Shatter Wrist Trick w/Puncture (-14 Orthstirr each). If that fails to work we'll use a Shield from our Fylgja if possible (-1 Shield) and Focus Guard (-7 Orthstirr) or Sidestep (-2 Orthstirr) as appropriate if not.
    -[X] After that, by default use our Semi-Halting Vortex to defend against everything. In response to anything without the ability to go through Perfects that gets through Semi-Halting Vortex use Halting Vortex (-4 Orthstirr) if possible and Focus Guard (-7 Orthstirr) or Sidestep (-2 Orthstirr) as appropriate if not, and if something somehow gets through that use up to three 60d6+9 Reinforcedx53 Sway defenses (-55 Orthstirr each), while if something looks like it ignore Perfects we'll just use a Quickdrawn Shield from our Fylgja (-1 Shield)
    -[X] If, at any point, we drop below 100 Orthstirr stoke Virthing (+220 Orthstirr)
    -[X] Tactics – So, he's clearly possessed, maybe by that weird sword. We're going to try and analyze the sword, ideally disarm him of it, and kick out the evil spirit. From there, if he's still fighting, we use Flashfire Cleaves, Contested Movement, and Shatter Wrist Trick + Firebomb Strike combos to deal with him in a straight fight, is the plan.
