Ah! Grendel it is. Okay, that makes sense.
EDIT: Foeman'd. Ah, well.

Ah, Grendel and his mother then.
I'm going to change my vote for now and go for just the Witch-King.

They certainly aren't instant death after a single mistake like the Dragon is

Fear and cowardice leads to nid, brothers and sisters! If we stay in our homes out of the 'fear of death' when glory awaits us, are we really Norse?
I don't expect to rush Fafnir 2: Eitr Bogalog. Take time, prepare, do our best, not jump into the maws. But if we're going to die eventually, it should be after we've slain a dragon and cemented ourselves as a Legend.

Anything except the Dragon
Because I enjoy playing this Quest and would prefer not lose the entire game because of one lizard

I'm pretty conflicted, all the options sounds interesting.
Also Odr Cultivator Abjorn (eventually maybe)! Good for him, I hope he gets some peace of mind from this. I guess the other people to potentially initiate into it are Sten and Eric, maybe Stigmar?

I'm probably not going to super-kill you folks with eitr, though it'll have its consequences. Probably something, like, Halla is as fractured as Blackhand is when Charred Soul is passed on
Lets, uh, not get that agitated, eh?

Motherfucker. We're fighting Grendel and his unnamed momma.
Edit: Should've looked before I leaped.
Well we could bitch-slap Fafnir, but I'm quite curious about the Witch King.

If Sten can - he might already have an Odr equivalent, in his Finnish sorceries. He does, after all, spiritually trigger Finnish saunas, and we were told that Odr prevents the learning of Zeal or other foreign Internal Cultivation, which Orthstirr doesn't intervene with.
Sten might already be walking his own path to perfection, we just haven't really learned much about the Finnish stuff yet.

So we end up exactly where we started? That's not much better

Choosing your battles so as to ensure victory is also a dreng thing to do, and it's bold of you to assume our victory here. That's what I mean by hubris. Like, we might win this fight, but we shouldn't assume we will. We might also just die and accomplish nothing against it.
I also feel like Fafnir is the most boring option, to me at least. Narratively speaking, our family already killed that guy, he should stay dead. Let's fight something our family hasn't fought before.
Sten can't, he has the Finnish Internal Resource. Eric and Stigmar could in theory...in practice we'll need to see.

He explicitly does, it's literally written on his character sheet
We also don't have plot armor against witch kings, steelfathers and giants I don't get were this idea that this option is certain death? Dangerous? sure extremely so even but so are the other option's.
And it isn't like we're going at him tomorrow we have time to prepare for this.
And I want to kill a dragon.

Being able to force True-Death or close upon people seems very useful, especially when faced with stuff like dad's killer just... rising from the dead on his own, and being like 'Cool, see ya'.

Etir kills souls and will by WoG utterly fuck up our soul when it passes on to the next Heir
In other words it will mean we're starting back at square one and that most of the research we did as Halla will be for nought

All of those are dangerous, but Fafnir is especially dangerous even by the standards of the others. There is a reason why many of us are extremely hesitant to risk going up against him.
