I'll do the kiddie cap upgrades, in that order.

Crafting should all be 29d as normal, plus 1d3 from Sundersight. Runed items get two rolls, one for the item, one for the runes, but the dice pool is the same. I'll roll for Kare's armor.

EDIT:
Okay, that's 12 rolled successes, plus 20 from Tools and Aspects makes for 32 and Wondrous due to Born With A Hammer In Hand.

I guess I'll also roll for the Pot, since someone is likely gonna need to make more than one roll here.

EDIT:
Pot is over 40 on Crafting, 34 on Runework, so Wondrous on both.

    -[X] Sacrifice 81 Food for 9 Temporary Hamingja


    -[X] [Travel] Surveillance
    --[X] Use the box of bees and its bee-spirits to put together a 24/7 spying operation on Dorri, his immediate family, and retainers. Focus lesson trying to breach whatever spells he has up - that will only risk drawing attention and be unlikely to work - and more on building a picture of their movements. They can't ward themselves in public, not easily or completely.
    ---[X] The plan here is introduce ourselves and negotiate with the bees if possible rather than compelling them.
    --[X] We will use Dressed in Rags and mundane Stealth (including enhancing it with shapeshifting), via our fylgja when appropriate, to also surveil Dorri ourselves when it seems unlikely to get us caught, leaving out additional bees in any unusual locations he seems to frequent.
    --[X] When bee-based surveillance starts to put together a picture of where he might be meeting Drysalt or what is otherwise the most important place, go in person. Try and record an Experience, as this will be unimpeachable court testimony.
    -[X] [Social] (Personal) Spend time with...
    --[X] Ingolf, though Kare is likely also along

    --[X] Forged Iron Cooking Pot (+17 successes from Tools/Workshop)
    --[X] Using Whale Bone Ash
    --[X] Duplicating the Runework from our other cooking pot

    Fylgja Rank 10
    In the privacy of an empty field, your fylgja tucks its beak close to its chest as a strange sense of growth overtakes the world. Grass sprouts from beneath your feet as once-tiny saplings blot out the horizon in their haste to grow yet taller.

    The strength of your soul prepares itself to reach new heights as your fylgja readies in turn. Soon, new power shall surge through your limbs as harmless crimson flames lift away from your skin.

    All that's left to do is decide how, exactly, that strength shall manifest itself. Three paths lay before you, each with their promised gifts. One promises to lay great renown across your shoulders as the next promises the right of ruling while a third offers heritage of your father, a connection that tugs at your heartstrings.

    Which route do you take?

    -Doubles Orthstirr Rewards

    [ ] Ruler's Cindersoot Owl
    -Completes Jarlsoul-in-Training

    [ ] Father's Cindersoot Owl
    -Triples basic moves

    0~0~0
    3 x 9 = 27
    Walking back home with soul strengthened by a growing fylgja, something feels... Different. The well-trodden path beneath your feet is familiar, yes, but now it's almost like it's responding to your passage. The trees sway in the wind as they always have, but now it's almost as if they sway to better see your motions.

    It's then that realization strikes like a bolt of Godly might. Your soul, like a burning bastion against the darkness of the night, sits golden in your breast and on your brow. A golden soul shining bright with untapped potential.

    With every step, your movements grow lighter as the trappings of mortal existence fall away. With every step, the hidden bonds once restricting your potential shatter to dust as the Gods themselves take notice of your strength. With every step, the distance you have yet to climb grows ever greater—yet, for all the higher the peak, not once does the thought that it might be insurmountable cross your mind.

    Where once your arms could not hope to break the skin of the divine, now your blades wait eagerly to taste Godly blood. Where once you were doomed to stand with the uncountable masses of the faceless past—remembered by only those few to call you kin—now the annals of history stand ready to record all your triumphs and tragedies.

    For you are a Hero not only in name, but in truth.

    You walk the path of greatness, young Hero, and may your stride grow ever larger.

    0~0~0

    AN: Congratulations, you are now a Hero!

    Good job.

    Now you stand ready to meet the challenges standing before you.

    No moratorium.

    • Man, being able to finish our jarlsoul boon would be nice, but tripling basic moves would go awesome with Stoker State. Start off with a Devouring Blaze to eat any persistent defences, then throw out a Sharpened honed basic attack for 2 Orthstirr per, for 12d6+24, which is very cheap compared to any non persistent defence that can match it. It also makes offensive tuned reflexes way more tempting.

    It's actually even better than that. We usually have +2d from Skyfire and Sunshine, so our 'base' is 3d...add in Sharpenedx2 and it's be 7d, so tripling would make for 21d+24 and an average of almost 100.

    Defenses, with Reinforcex2 alone, would be 15d+51 and even higher. It's really good.

    Ah! An important clarification. Hmmm. That means it's 'only' 21d+8 offensively (averaging 81.5 rather than 97.5) and 15d+17 defensively (averaging 69.5 rather than 103.5) for 2 Orthstirr per...I think I'm still voting for it, but that's a big difference people should be aware of.

    Hey Blackhand what do Fylgja increases do now?

    On a separate note how many reward dice would it cost to learn more about what exactly a hero is?
     
    Alright, vote aside, I'll also do crafting rolls on the Wood Axe. We still also need two more rolls for armor.

    EDIT: Again, that hits Wondrous on both rolls.

    Feels like the most correct one.

    Though mechanically I think it's the best, as Ruler's is basically. A one-time bonus. And doubling Orth rewards feels. Weird. There isn't one for Seidr, interesting.
