If you're willing to be part of a great struggle, then remember. All three Aspects when you're at rest and weave them together, do it inside the fence of a farm, and have company to wake you up from the shock of the impact. It's dangerous, but you've never shied away from that. This is the gift of knowledge I offer to you, for your friendship, and the hurt you took aiding me and my kin, whether you take it up or not is your choice and your own story."

I don't think it'd be possible? To actually retain odr, you need a Soulscape. You don't get a functioning Soulscape until you open the Gate - up till then, it's just a blank void where your Soulscape should be.

But he doesn't need to retain it, Halla showed she can hold Odr, it might be he won't need the well if it is just a matter of taking one Mote and shoving it directly toward something.

It gets auto redacted

Did we nail down whatever it is auto redacted to those not in the know or to those who have yet to open the Gate?





"Hey Blackhand, do you remember if it is possible to share Odr with someone else?"

I mean, yeah, but I don't see how you'd be able to use it if odr needs to interact with your soul to be used in the first place.

Anyway, I guess we pulled off the Save Aki Arc @Imperial Fister ?

More or less, yes. There's still a bit more to go, but the dangerous part is in the rearview.

If I were you, I would review the wording of the write in. I can't tell you any more than that, not for free.

'While I find myself lacking in details, that does make sense to me. I have no idea the effects or possible complications that might result, but it is likely best to err on the side of caution here, at least in regards with experimenting on your friends.'

Considering that people already found workaround like frenzy, It is not impossible to use effect that mimic Odr, now whatever he could use Odr itself is a valid question, but until Seidr goes online we are merely throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

Humans are friends, not test subjects. Got it.

Shit, the wording is off? Anyone got some reward dice for a hint?

Might need to add to keep it a secret, we don't know if he will get the same warning we got.

Also, just to make sure, Aki should be pass the 30 Orth, right? we don't know what will happen if someone who doesn't have enough for a single mote try it.

Oh, and you didn't mention to cut the flow and close the gate before the Aspects fray.

We should maybe say something to Astmunder. Something seems wrong and Astmunder not whistling seems the easiest inconsistency to check.

Edit: Just saw Fister's comment. We are apparently actually back.

something like this?

[] Yes, there is
-[] Aki's soul may be asleep, but he may be dreaming. "I don't know if you're going to remember this later, but I'm going to tell you anyway. If you're willing to be part of a great struggle, then remember. All three Aspects when you're at rest and full of Orth and weave them together, do it inside the fence of a farm, and have company to wake you up from the shock of the impact. The most important part is to watch your threaded Aspects and close the Gate before your rope fray. It's dangerous, but you've never shied away from that. This is the gift of knowledge I offer to you, one you must share yet with no other, for your friendship, and the hurt you took aiding me and my kin, whether you take it up or not is your choice and your own story."

Edit: Also catching him right when he revived to make sure he doesn't do an opsie like putting Odr into Hugr is important. but this write in is cumbersome enough as is.

Edit2: company to wake up from passing out is the lose situation, because when Halla passed out she had Blackhand to close the gate, and we can't be sure she could have been woken fast enough to close it on her own.

throwing a vote for now.
[X] No, there is not

I've modified the modified version to flow a bit better, is this one better @Imperial Fister ? Or are we still missing something?
 
I mean either way

[X] Yes, there is
-[X] Thank Modgudr for her help and her patience.

Thank her and acknowledge that she punished you for it. Courtesy matters.

And there we have it, the crux of the matter.

Unrelated to the topic of telling Aki anything, but that little nugget of knowledge sure casts outlawing somebody in a new light, eh?

Yep!

So, he can do it, he just has to do it on his own property to have the 'Safer' Initiation, right? (And it means Outlaws have to flagrantly Court Death to initiate into True Cultivation, given how much of a hard stop it is if you don't have a head ghost to help close your Gate for you)

So he has to do it at his own home? Or he just can't do it until he's grown up and has a spot of his own? I know legally, Halla technically can't own land but she could do the 'Stable' Initiation, so presumably people who belong on that estate to begin with are covered, right?

Also reinforces something I was considering before, that our next step in cultivation has requirements based on our literal earthly farm not our soulscape flora.

Halla is gaining Orthstirr for farm ownership (or was when she tried that experiment). She is mystically the land's owner (maybe co-owner with Abjorn?) even if she isn't legally. I think you need to actually own a farm to do the safer version.

-[X] Aki's soul may be asleep, but he may be dreaming. "I don't know if you're going to remember this later, but you've shown interest, and your courage has never been in question. Take from this what you will, but I will leave the information with you here regardless, if you are willing to take up the responsibility and risks of delving into these secrets. When you have a Farm of your own, a place that you can truly call yourself King in, Summon your allies to you within your fence to serve as guardians and companions, and with your Orthstirr at its heights, stoke your Aspects further still. Weave them together as one, and you will find within a Path Forward, should you have the strength and fortitude to endure the flood of inspiration and the courage to face the great Foe of our people and his minions when his eye turns to you later. This is a secret I gift to you, as a symbol of our friendship and my thanks for the harm you took aiding me and my kin, but take care, the Enemy will not allow us to spread it further without challenge, and it may be some time yet before we can prepare a field to face it's reprisal."
-[X] Thank Modgudr for her help and her patience with you.

Ah, but Halla does own the land that she cultivates on. It was explicitly part of her dowry, which, should you and Abjorn ever get divorced (as unlikely as that is) the land and everything on it does not go to him, it goes to you. Now, the land that Abjorn bought to expand the farm does belong to him, and so it would go to him, but divorces get very messy very quickly when fields are spread over property lines.

Ah hah.

Very clever!

So huh, it's impossible to cultivate Odr period except on land you Own, but an area fenced in on your territory suppresses the shock? In effect, "The King has to play nicely in the home of a Freeman". He might be bold on the fringes, but can't do so in your actual home
