Wait!

Wolfwind isn't outlawed!

He's also right here, and as an outlaw, Horra can't actually give him orders.

We've got a decent shot of holding him here long enough to undo the bomb on his neck, if we act fast.

I mean, he can still give him orders with magic. But it's not crazy talk to try. I'd be willing to give that a shot rather than talk to anyone other than the Headman about the draugr thing.

Right. And the Headman needs to be one of them, IMO.

Absolutely - but if we can somehow manage to pull a save on Wolfwind....

Like, attacking someone while you're in your year of partial immunity as a three-year outlaw pretty much has to be subject to something horribe, right?

I agree that headman and sanctum are pretty much mandatory here.
 
Do it! DO IT! (Hasvir killed and lore discovered) WTF

Can we bring up we weren't able to completely show our evidence for his other wrong doings before Horra becomes a Outlaw offically?
 
...Okay.

So, could Horra actually, be, legitimately, innocent of a good chunk of the shit?

Is Hasvir still around?????
 
So... there are two funny questions.

- Was that a person or a flesh puppet?
- Was it actually Hasvir?

The funny thing is... any of the four options could be the truth.
 
Agreed on the normal turn thing. Sure people would need a chance to recover but we still have a load of time sensitive information that could increase the severity of Horra (and possibly his families) punishment.

Edit: For context how severe was the punishment put on Horra.
 
Oh... and Horra just took some Real Bad Nid, right? I mean, that one should be pretty clear, yes?

Screw it, you can have 4 free extra actions.

For fairness, let's make that "interact actions with the peopel who happen to be right here, right now". That's probably how we'd use them anyway, but it's the only thing that makes it actually make sense.

Also, four is super-generous. I'm not sayign no. I'm just acknowledging that.
 
Weight is High Level Content stuff, being able to resist that being used against us is really strong.

Though +3 Hamingja is also stupidly good, mrrrr.

He was legitimately surprised that Hasvir was a literal fleshpuppet.

That's insane. A Fleshcrafter or Seidr user shouldn't be able to miss something like that!

Let alone someone who can stitch killswitches onto Berserks.

Drysalt is apparently Some Real Shit. Quite possibly a true Jotun rather than the devolved stuff that Trolls and the like are.

Combined with out Standstill powers we could induce heart attack and then prevent them from moving a muscle. It'd be like suffocation while having a heart attack.

More luck is always good; Also the weight thing seems situational for now and we can get a better Muna when we expose Horra

[X] Muna: Horra on Trial (Gives a passive resistance to Weight)

Hilariously, because we didn't even finish our Troll accusation, Horra doesn't know that we saw it go to his house demanding payment.
 
So... peopel to interact with here...
- Headman
- Elephant merchant
- The dude's brother
- Wolfwind
That's about it, right?

Also... I'm starting to think that Horra is basically just the pawn of some higher power... and that higher power is not The Enemy.

It's also not exactly clear how much of a handpuppet he is.

I think it's more "There's nobody that Horra won't do business with."

The people most likely to get conned after all are the conners. Because they've got the ego to think that they can outwit the other guy.
 
Okay, so Occam's razor suggests that a big bad troll is, well, a big bad troll. Shapeshifting is very much within traditional troll powers, but seems out of character for this quest, so I'm guessing he's half-troll, half... giant? Half-dwarf? Half-something, anyways. Or got a drink from the Well of Mimir or something equivalent that lifted them out of ordinary trolldom. Googling "drysalt" hasn't given me much - the myth of the Sampo involves salt, but not trolls as far as I can tell.

Staggering to your feet, you make your way to where Hasvir is standing, still not moving. Is he... dead or something?

You poke his cheek. It's cold and clammy to the touch.

No response.

You poke it again and this time, your finger sinks deep into his skin.

All at once, his entire body pops like a soap bubble before falling in on itself. There's nothing left but a puddle of gunk and meat on the ground.

A heartbeat of stunned silence passes before a wail of utter grief rips from Horra's throat. There's an axe in his hand — where he got it from you've no idea.

"Wh-what did you do to my son?!" He screams his voice raw with his agony as he leaps to his feet. He's moving in with axe held high, his grief quickly turning to utter, heart-rending hatred.

Dafuq? Seriously, what happened here? Because Horra was as confused as we were.
