NorseQuest (A Norse Xianxia)

Reader mode
Could we just say 'max out all stats' for Orthsirr given our massive reserves at this point?
 
Also when we make armor for ourselves we should totally rune it up as well. Probably go for some sort of buff. Speed boost maybe. Or anti Seidr. Or damage reduction. Or Orthsirr regen. Many options.
 
Alright, looks like this update is going to take me longer than expected to get out. The reasons for this are many fold.

Suffice to say, a lot of stuff happens.
 
We did our due diligence, there's no realistic reason for us to need to scream externally or internally.

Even for me!

It's just this is a turn with a lot of breakthroughs, so it's natural that we have a lot of content.

Gosh though, Halla's really climbing up the ranks. Still waiting for us to get that Skyfire Kenning, but we probably need to have EWC reliably usable before that's on the table.

It's funny, looking at the standard Norse baseline post, our labor and farming type skills are way behind our combat skills, even if we do have a relatively broad set of life skills. We're *very* combat specialized compared to most norsefolk. While they were farming, Halla was training lol.

To be fair, we seem to not be alone in that. Based on Management stuff Stigmar is actually even worse than us at 4 dice total between the three skills (probably the same on Labor and Farmwork but no Management), and our farmhand and his wife are not much better (he has 7 dice to our 6, she ties us at 6 each). My bet is that the twins will be okay, but likewise not much above us taken individually.

7 in their high skill (for a likely total of between 13 and 18 dice in the Management pool) there seems to be the default for 'farmer who can fight', not 'fighter who farms'.

Abjorn's Talent is apparently something else though given how he's still a bit stronger than Halla and apparently has dummy huge non-combat farm skills too.

Plus, you know, HAMR FUCKING EIGHT and all that.

I think the Hamr 8 is basically why he inches out above her in the 'who's most badass?' thing. Like, if they had equal Hamr, she'd equal him or just barely beat him out but then he has the benefits of Hamr 8 and doubled Endurance.

For skills, I think it's less that he has better skills than us and more that they're a lot more focused. I'm very interested in his sheet, but I'd be willing to bet that, in non-combat skills, he has Design (he built the house, remember), Labor, Farmwork, and Overland better than Halla and every other skill equal or worse (including several at 0, I think). Plus a lot fewer Skill-Tricks (as of this turn we will have 10 of those...Abjorn might easily have, like, 2 of them...Climbing and House-Building under Design). Probably fewer actual Tricks, too, though that's harder to judge.

    Cultivating Inside
    As you find a secluded spot on your farm — inside the fence's perimeter, of course — you feel a sense of anticipation bubble up from within.

    What will happen when you cultivate on the inside, rather than the outside?

    Sitting down, you set to finding out.

    Aspects whirling into existence both in and out, the Gate unlocks and a flood of red odr flows through your soul. But... it's different. It's almost like it's being stifled by something.

    Or rather, it's being slowed.

    And more than it should.

    On the other hand, though, it certainly is easier to ride the waves with such little odr fueling it.

    Fylgja
    Closing your eyes, you focus on your fylgja. But, rather then calling it to reality, you instead call it *inward* — towards your soul.

    A formless mass of shifting shadows and bright lights forms out of the soil of your soul. IIt seems to almost resemble a vague outline of yourself. Instinctually, you know that this is the true form of your fylgja — the shape it bears when not reduced to an owl's body.

    From the ever-shifting folds of shadows and twinkling lights comes a single sapling — the twig of the sealwood tree. Taking it in hand, you carefully plant it into the soil of your soul as the fylgja returns to its watch.

    Odr Weapon Investment
    No matter how you try, you struggle to get your odr to infuse with the metal of the superior-grade sax. All that's happening is the odr tries to sink in, but is rebuked by the rigidity of cold metal.

    Frowning, you wonder why that might be the case.

    Bible Study
    "So, this Jesus guy is all about... what, peace? Is he a coward or something?"

    A lesser man might have bristled at the insult to their God, but Jerasmus was no lesser man.

    He merely smiled as he flipped through the pages in the Bible. "Not quite."

    He begins to tell the tale of how Jesus faced his death undaunted, which, you have to admit, was impressive.

    Sagaseeker hums in your hand as it always does, it's spirit ever-eager for potential violence. Unfortunately for it, no violence will be had on this day so it had better settle for disappointment!

    Regardless, there is something that has been weighing on your mind.

    Sagaseeker is a fine weapon, there's no doubt about that, but... well, it's starting to lack a little bit. Not because it's a bad weapon, not at all! It's just that with how ferocious combat has been for you as of late, it's not going as far as it once did.

    However, you've gotten rather attached to Sagaseeker's cat-like personality and, to the best of your knowledge, re-forging it would do away with that particular aspect.

    But is there any way of re-forging it while keeping its spirit intact?

    With that in mind, you visit your eldest brother for his advice.

    Sten squints at you with a face full of soot, his arms crossed before him. "Re-forge Sagaseeker while keeping it intact?" You nod, once again confirming the reason for your visit. He strokes his chin and jaw with thumb and forefinger as he considers the topic. "I can think of two ways, though I can only tell your one of them."

    You arch a brow as you fold your arms in turn. "Can't? Or won't?"

    "Won't." Sten scratches at his beard, offering no explanation. The wind slowly bats at his hair like a cat with a length of string. "But, the other way is much easier as all it requires is extremely careful forging from a master smith." He thinks for a moment before amending his statement. "And access to Forgefire."

    The other brow joins its sister. If that's the easier method, then what's the way he won't tell you? "Which I have both of, in the form of you."

    "Correct."

    After that, you get to work with the day's work.

    And manage to produce a fine work of art.

    Exploring with Abjorn, Drifa, and Sterki (Hamingja: 6x1, 5x2, 4x2, 3x6, 2x1, 1x1) 12 Successes
    You wander through the fields of your farm, Abjorn, Drifa, and little Sterki at your side.

    "So, Drifa." You begin, only to be instantly interrupted by your niece springing to her feet.

    "Yes?!" Drifa leaps into the air as her head swivels towards you, the rest of her body following suit a moment later. She had been kneeling in the dirt, trying to find the medicinal herbs her mother had told her about. She wasn't going to have much luck in a place like this, not that you were intending say anything that might stop the cuteness unfolding before you.

    You smile as she lands before you, curiosity and excitement clear in her steel-gray eyes. When you stopped by your house to drop off a few things, she'd begged to carry a wood axe while exploring — an attempt to further emulate her idol. You caved, of course, and so she now has an axe in her hands. "I was wondering something. What sort of hugareida do you have?"

    She smiles and holds her hands up as twin beds of flame spark into life in her palms. "Forgefire!"

    You blink, not having expected that. "And how did you manage that?"

    "I climbed into the furnace!"

    "Oh."

    "It wasn't that bad." She scoffs as she rolls her eyes. "If Dad hadn't overreacted and pulled me out, I would be made of iron right now!"

    She scowls, muttering something about overprotective fathers. You just stare at her as Blackhand laughs uproariously.

    'Gods, it's like I'm looking in a mirror!'

    Unfortunately, your wanderings don't produce much of anything. Your fields are well-explored, after all, so it would require some crazy luck to find anything!

    After-action report. (How hard do you drink? 91) Well, then.
    Tryggr Broadteeth grins as big and as broad as his name he sits next to his brother, Trausti Pinchfinger. Trausti looks vaguely uncomfortable sitting in the same room as his killer, Abjorn, but he's more concerned with the bawdy stories Tryggr's telling than past history.

    "And you should have seen the size of her-"

    "Tryggr!" Trausti lives up to his name as he drives an elbow deep into his younger brother's side — his other hand pinching the bridge of his nose. "Not in front of our boss."

    "What?" Tryggr turns his sly grin on his brother. "I was just talking about how much land she owned."

    "And how fertile her crescent!" Stigr adds as the pair laugh and high-five before each downs a hornful of alcohol.

    Suffice to say, Stigr and Tryggr became fast friends.

    "Alright!" You say as you rise to your feet and clap your hands together — drawing the attention of all the feast-goers to you. "Thank you all for coming, but before we can get into the meat of the night, we've got to talk about the reason we all got together in the first place."

    "When you kicked ours and ol' Sparkbutt's asses!" Tryggr shouts from the back.

    "Yes, that," you say as the laughter of all those present draws a smile to your face. Once it dies down, you get to the meat and potatoes of the meeting.

    After giving your own breakdown of the events, you offer the floor to the rest of the crew before taking a seat.

    Trausti stands up, not hesitating to give his own version of events. "Tryggr had just drunk half-a-barrel of alcohol and I was wrestling the rest away from him when arrows started falling on our heads. I grabbed my axe and threw Tryggr his saxes as Bjorn Thraggisson took an arrow to the eye and two to the knee. This one," he points towards Abjorn, "cut him down and we started fighting. I managed to knock his sword out of his hands before he wounded me with it, but he tackled me and we started to wrestle. I had the upper hand until he grabbed me by the teeth and jammed his knife into my eye. After that, I was dead."

    He sits back down as Tryggr climbs to his feet, the flush of inebriation growing on his face as he starts to speak. "Yeah, I was gonna break your man's back for that one, but the little guy," he jerks a thumb at Stigmar, "and later you," he nods towards you, "stopped me from doing that. Caved my chest in and that was that."

    Tryggr sits down — nearly falling in the process, much to his brother's exasperation — and you offer a question to the pair. "What sort of supplies or support did you get from the locals?"

    Trausti frowns, not quite understanding your question. "The locals? The people we were raiding? Why would they help us?"

    Well, you guess that answers your question... as much as you wish it didn't.

    You don't remember much of what happened after that point. It's just a blur of laughter, alcohol, and then a naked Abjorn and...

    Oh.

    Odr Infusion into Hugr
    You lay on your back with the sky transfixing your gaze. Your breathing is heavy as you try to recall anything about what just happened.

    You settled down to cultivate — your arms and armor in Abjorn's possession — and pushed odr into your hugr.

    And then you woke to not only a pulped hand, but a crumpled ball of scrap that you once called a work knife — the handle still clutched in your grip.

    In your madness, you almost did something unforgivable.

    It was only thanks to the presence of Steinarr that nothing happened, that no acts of nid were done.

    "The Frenzy of a Berserk is a dangerous thing to toy with, Halla." Your father's solemn words filter through the air as you lay with your face turned to the sun. "I don't know how you did that without a Shapecrafter, but I don't think you should do it again without one."

    Even now, you can feel it — Frenzy — thrumming just beneath your skin like violent jolts of electricity.

    Steinarr steps forward and his face blots out the sun.
    -Stab, Dead. Slice, Dead. Chop, Dead. Bash, Dead-
    The moment he enters your line of sight, your mind instantly starts working to figure out ways to kill him. Nothing works, but that doesn't stop your instincts.

    It's like this whenever you look at anyone now. Friend or foe, it matters not to your new combat instincts — all are potential threats that you must be ready for at a moment's notice.

    Looking at Sten, at Abjorn like an enemy...

    You can't do it, but you have no choice in the matter.

    If there's one benefit to this, it's that combat will be easier with all the predictions your mind now makes.

    AN: I'm pretty sure I missed something/s in the training/odr spending.

    Anyways, you're pregnant again. Congratulations.

    Also, you're now a Berserk. Congratulations^2.

    25-minute moratorium. If this is too overwhelming, then I can remove the turn plan choices and just let you argue over the child traits for a couple hours and then give you the turn planning stuff while I roll the dice for the child.

    Also, I'm sorry about not putting anything in the training sections for your new tricks. I'm not feeling 100% right now, not really sure what's happening, and that was getting in the way of the rest of the update. If this update is a bit subpar, that's also the reason for that.

    • nah, it's all good.

    Interesting though, you told us to try Cultivating inside, but doing so actually severely impacted our growth because it's being 'Stifled' somehow. Hrm. I guess that's a Research Topic?
     
    Well, that's...very interesting. So way less Odr for the farm, possibly because we need to farm differently? But also clearly safer, even if we were doing it right. The nature of the distinction is definitely very relevant...we should cultivate outside the fence this coming turn, though.

    @Imperial Fister so would we need to do a separate social to get Training Dice from sparring with our new employees, or what?

    Oh.

    OHHHHHHHHHHH

    Ohhohohohohoho.

    I get it, I get it! THAT'S THE TRICK!

    Hahah! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

    EDIT: Giddiness aside, is Frenzy our Focus equivalent then? @Imperial Fister ? Also, is it safe to use now? And the hard part was just activating it the first time?

    But yeah, giddiness, Giddiness, we know how to initiate others, now we just need to prepare a killbox to handle the Reveal Fight and we will be in business.

    It's easier to handle.

    Odr is generated most easily in wild places, and stifled in places that are tamed by man. But that's a benefit for people who are drawing on Odr for the first time, because it's less overwhelming.
