[X] Sundersight: The ability to look at something and gain an understanding of its weaknesses

I change my vote, i read again the arguments for Sundersight and i found them compelling. I would have liked Soonsight or Scrysight, but Sundersight feels more appropiate for Halla as a character.

I think Eitr is definitely a valid method of killing Steelfathers. But using it is risky. Specifically Imperial Fister said that drowning works but not drowning in water.

So we can drow them in the rivers of Guinganapp? Or in lava?

 

[Grytorm]

I imagine if Halla's Saga gets written down the riddle contest will get padded a little. I mean it finished after four riddles and you want at least three exchanges to be narratively satisfying.

 

[I.F. Ister]

Alright, I just found out that I'm a little early to my appointment so I've got an hour to kill. Might as well get started on the next update.

So, voting is now closed. And also, what in the heck was the rest of this turn supposed to be? That is, the rest of the turn you started adventuring in.

A playdate for the kids and clearing out the Underhouse. One moment and I'll find the exact wording.

 

[Alectai]

I think we were clearing the Underhouse? I can find out real quick.

 

[DeadmanwalkingXI]

Here it is:

-[X] (Personal) Clear Out The Underhouse
-[X] [Social] (Playdates) Set up a playdate between one/multiple of your kids and one/multiple of other kids.
--[X] Inviting Rinda-Ryggia (Fjord Family) and Markvard-Brigida-Siggunr (Asvir Family)
--[X] Suggesting our children spend time especially with Ryggia, Markvard, and Siggunr
--[X] Keeping a particular watch on Asgeirr to ensure there are no further incidents (well, none involving physical violence anyway)

That's what's left of the turn after we get back and receive whatever the final rewards are. We'd probably also want to do one or two things in Asvir of possible, but it's not a huge deal.

Yeah no, lmao. Summer 9 is around ~60k words. I am ready to move on

Fair enough.

Did you see my previous question about what magic weapons Vagn and maybe Jordan Slicksword would like? And Eric, if he'd take one from us, which I doubt (we tried getting that info out of him already).

The Wheel is a cool idea while Jordan has his own magical sword—a perk of having Sten as a brother-in-law

Sweet. How much Iron would a weapon-wheel be, what Element would Vagn like, and does he have runes he'd prefer? Oh, and what Trick would that be to make?

And does Jordan also have mail armor?

One of the worst things that can happen to a quest is when turns start taking dozens of chapters and months irl time to go by. Not every action or roll needs to give a small novella's word count to talk about or describe.

 

[Alectai]

At most, we need to get that heart, but I don't think Skoll's going to be able to put up much of a fight over it.

That and changing our dwarf coins for silver were actually all I had in mind. But if we don't have time we don't have time. Neither is super urgent.

 

[I.F. Ister]

Alright, I'm back and actually ready to write now. Let's get to it!

Also, Summer 9 is actually freaking 70k words. 21% of NorseQuest, baybee

Also, also, patrons have received their Reward Dice. I'll say this again in the actual update, just in case you missed it

Laughs in Xander Quest trauma.

 

[I.F. Ister]

I need three people to each roll me 3d100, please. This is for how well the other adventuring groups of the Valley did in bringing back food and wealth.

 

[mythfan12]

sure.

mythfan12 threw 3 100-faced dice. Reason: ADVENTURE Total: 113

 

[Blademaster]

rolling it

Blademaster threw 3 100-faced dice. Total: 227

 

[Tylonius]

Rolling

Tylonius threw 3 100-faced dice. Reason: Other Shmucks Total: 114

 

[Orbmorb]

Oh boy

Orbmorb threw 3 100-faced dice. Reason: food Total: 172

 

[mythfan12]

Sees that 2 of the rolls didn't even go over half.

Oh No.

Don't worry, I'm sure our one boat full of food will be enough to feed the entire region!

...Norse do only need to eat once a season right?

 

[I.F. Ister]

The dice rolls are averaged together, so the final totals are;
Group 1: 37
Group 2: 75
Group 3: 38

 

[Constenanto]

Yikes. Could be worse, I guess? Not to mention Group 2 actually did pretty good.

 

[mythfan12]

Group 1: 37
Group 2: 75
Group 3: 38

That looks about right.
.... The valley isn't gonna do too good.
