So steel contaminates the body so it has to be grown anew, but doesn't cause True Death?

That has some sound logic to me, though I would reckon something like that would need to be Forgefire.

Do we need him to testify, though? Would the Brute not suffice? Like, I'd rather not take the chance of this guy getting back up and wreaking some havoc if we don't have to. I don't see him giving up any knowledge to us, and his body - and the other corpses - feel like they'd be enough if given in tandem with the Brute's testimony.
Is there an Ignition-based equivalent possible?
Thanks! Dunno what the plan is to achieve that, but I'll just leave it out there for now
Can we still raise him here? Or is that isn't something we can do because steel?

That seems like the best idea. The other bandit corpses would suffice if we do need more evidence.

We're hoping to make Forgefire into our first Alloy. We have access to it through Ignition and Campfire.
Contingency for if they have opsec and only the captain knows.
We could also take his body to the last camp.
"He fought. That just meant we did this to him. You have the choice of surrender or end like the Ironbrother. What do you choose?"

Yeah, wouldn't be any cheaper, but you could do it.
No, steel has contaminated the body.

@Imperial Fister, will we be able too loot the mail from the Captain, or did Sten's ultimate attack fuck it up beyond repair? If so, I'll just settle for the mail from the other mook.

You can get it, but you'll have to melt it down first because if weapons that failed are unlucky, then armor that failed are extremely unlucky.
So much that even touching it can leave lingering bad luck on your person.

Ehhh. While I don't think he'd be able to escape if we had Sten, Abjorn, Steinar, Halfdan, and our other heavy hitters guarding him, he doesn't strike me as someone that'd snitch. Well, we could probably bargain for it if we freed him, but I'm someone that likes their threats staying dead/imprisoned.
A deliberate bleedoff projectile counter, a pinning tech, and a potential melee range counter blow of reactive armor?
Pretty good takeaways even if they take a whole to make imo. I'd like to propose Hammer-Fusing-Strike for the Forgefire thing if it's at all possible?

I don't think the loot of a Felag of this quality is going to be lacking.
Big Risks come with Big Rewards. Even if we didn't know the Risk would be at this level when we set out.
I hope we get a chance to find out what the fuck happened to make them all gather together at the specific camp we decided to attack though. Hopefully our prisoners have some insight for us.
Hopefully we manage to recruit the Brute off of this, he seemed like a good guy, and he owes us bigtime for sparing him and his brother.

Fight For Your Life a second time is effectively +5 Orthstirr once per fight. We don't need that. Which is likewise true for Punching Up.
For Tricks, yeah, we definitely need more defensive Tricks. Honestly a Dodge trick that actually uses dice is something we've been looking for since a while ago, but just hasn't happened yet, and while I don't regret Sidestep per se, we could still use one of those. Plus additional auto-defends with different loss conditions, obviously (there was spinning our polearm...we might want to look into that if it's automatic).

Yikes, makes sense though. Pretty sure that Sten can make mail, though, so we should be fine.
Oh, I know. I just mainly wanted the mail - especially after seeing it in combat - and I assumed that the Captain would have the best one.
I get the other suggestions, but what would be the use of such a trick in combat? Unless you don't mean to use it in combat - if so, my bad.
You don't see the value of pinning an opponent in place as part of a melee combo?

I mean, in literally two turns, we can make Mail. We've been working on that Skill Trick for a while now.

We have? I remember investing into it, but I thought we'd stopped doing so. If so, then I'm fine with waiting a few turns for us to do it ourselves so we can get that BWHiH progression.
