Is there another skill relevant that we missed that would help, like navigation?

Also is there a Gale trick we could learn in order to blow wind into our sail? in case we very quickly need to outrun a nasty?
 
Hey Imperial Fister. Can you share anything about Horra's capabilities now that he is dead? Or about the secrets he found?
Horra, as a shapecrafter, wins empty-hand melee. Now, he's no combatant so stabbing him with a sword or surprising him results in his death.

Horra found ancient Egyptian jars that grew body parts, which is what he used to create the Threaded Men.
Could Halla (without her weapons) have won against Horra in that courtroom? Assuming Logi didn't intervene and nobody put her on charges of breaking the Thing's Peace and such.
So, if Halla tries to wrestle Horra, she loses. If she hit him with ranged attacks, she wins.
 
.. Speaking of which, when this adventure is over, assuming we get out alive, I think we should make an Ignition trick that is basically an omnidirectional fire explosion, the intention being to free us from any tricks or grapples that tries to lock us down. Because being locked down would actually deny us almost every trick we have.

Did Knappr have Shapecrafting buffs when he wrestled us?

We've already got a plan for that, basically copying from that lightning-surge thing that fucked us up vs Lars.

Problem is, stuff like that is expensive. But yeah, it'd do that.
 
Hey Blackhand. Would it be possible to bottle or otherwise store some Eitr? You know for research purposes...on trolls...on troll-men...on Foemen. You know just normal things... Would that be Odreng?
'Eitr is the single most dangerous substance in all the worlds. If it kills you, it kills me as well. I must beg you not to screw around with it.

You cannot survive eitr. I speak the whole and utter truth when I say that. I am not being coy or concealing something.You. Cannot. Survive. Eitr. Nothing can, not even Jormungandr, whose fangs run wet with it, can survive eitr's bite.'
 
If we Perfect Kindle Spinner, we can also use an Emberwind version of it, right? I've got a soft spot for Flame Tongues (magic missile, fire edition). Multitarget tricks can be very versatile. No AOE problems!

And there's entire lifeforms just made of the stuff.

Fucking hell. That's bad juju.

And that right there explains why this is the most dangerous part of the quest: It's not there's necessarily a higher chance of death than other stuff, it's that if we die to eitr it's an instant Quest End.

I wouldn't call Abysslings alive, but yes.

Eitr is, in truth, closer to yeast than a liquid. At least that's how it's described in the myths. Of course, it could just be the smell, but I'm going with it essentially being yeast because that's way more interesting to me.

Hence my use of the term "Lifeform", which is to say "Something that gives the appearance of a living being".

Still, holy hell.

So, it's not neccessarily that this is a High Level Zone, but that fuckups are not tolerated in the slightest, huh?

Checks out... It did do in Thor. Don't really wanna play around with it at all.

[X] Train (You have 3d6 Training dice to spend as desired)

I suspect it is a high level zone, but we're sneaking through not fighting through...every fight is a fail state. Like sneaking around at Horra's place was, basically.

At least it should be a fairly significant Feat! Might even be worth a Muna!

Of course, I'll set all that aside to protecc our feisty birb friend. I think we've managed to get a good balance of useful information, and prepared well, while still having a good amount of time to get there.
 
Aki should have had Fylgja Endurance 7 + Swordraven buffs, so the StretchMonster should have needed 3 hits to take Aki out. Or a trick.

...Actually, would a say Wolf Fylgja have (as logical) more Fylgja HP than our Owl Fylgja, or would it have had the same (It's just wolf-shaped, in the end)?

The weird thing would be it prioritizing the bird over the two more dangerous people there.

So what the fuck happened that it apparently flipped its shit and prioritized Aki's bird hard enough that it could just effectively one-turn-kill it?

Well it does have 6 attacks.

How the fight probably went was..

Round 1
Threaded Man goes for Tryggr first because Tryggr goes Leeroy Jenkins on it.

Tryggr gets in first, because he's drunk. He attacks and gets multistabbed with what is presumably a very suboptimal plan, but survives due to a combo of armor and some luck.
Trausti gets in with a whole ton of attack spammery. Deals no damage.
Aki attacks and deals some scratch or no damage. Aki is eager to prove himself so he probably spent a bunch of Orthsirr on making good attacks, but less on defence.

Round 2
Threaded Man decides to deal with Swordraven first because it's annoying, and more importantly actually can do damage to it.

Aki attacks, and is immediately hit by 3~6 of the Threaded Man's attacks. He goes down immediately, because he's just thoroughly outclassed and probably didn't spend a ton of dice on defences, and didn't have the Orthsirr to make up the difference.
Trausti is pissed and nukes Threaded man with a gigablock of ice, since low damage attacks do fuckall. It gets through since the Threaded Man has used up its Perfect defences and Trausti is putting a ton of Orthsirr into the attack.

Round 3

Trausti burns a ton of Orthsirr for attack/defence, but still eats 2~4 attacks from the Threaded Man, blocking the remainder. His armor is gone, and he's taken some Endurance damage.

Round 4

Trausti goes full defence and burns Orthsirr nonstop to not die, but still eats 1~3 attacks to the face. He's now down to like 1 or 2 Endurance, and his armor is shredded and is probably out of Orthsirr.
Halla arrives.

I mean... Giants probably aren't bound by Fated Death, if I had to take a guess.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Norns were Giants?
So they may have excluded their people from the whole thing.
