Fire is a pretty bad choice to be using underground, due to the fact we might burn through our air supply if we do go all in on fire effects. Electricity isn't that great either with pockets of gas we might find underground.

Depends on the size of the caves, frankly. And the duration of the flames.

Anything big enough to have a horde in it we're probably fine using a flamethrower in terms of air (we'd maybe want to put out any ongoing fires)...the Troll-Men do need to breathe, after all, and probably more than we do since Hamr likely helps with that.

Do we know Halla's birthday? Want to get it for something I'm writing.

All Norse consider their birthday to be on Yule. It was discussed early on. They don't keep track of exact dates, but that's when they're considered a year older.

Does Target-Tracking Eyes not apply it's damage bonus against Allies (for an AOE attack), or even reduce it, since by aiming more accurately you can reduce the chance of friendly fire?

We've never had a friendly fire incident, so we don't know. It probably just allows us to avoid such incidents better rather than changing the numbers.

Hmm.

Hey Halla/Hallr, do you know how the 'you release your Orthstirr when you truly die' works? Specifically, if a person had spent all their Orthsirr for whatever reason, would they still somehow release Orthsirr if they then Truly Died, or would there be no way to tell if they actually Truly Died or only Bodily died?

I think Horra was somehow using tbe Orthsirr of his Farmhands and Thralls.
 
How strong would someone with hamr 7 be? Like, Halla was throwing boulders when she was like, hamr 4/5, so she is clearly superhuman, but what's the limit of her strength?

This is a good question. All we really know is comparative stuff, which is that she's stronger than most younger Norsemen, but not wildly so (they usually have 5-6...a 7 is uncommon but not unusual), and that even some older Norsemen are likely no stronger than her (Hamr 7 is the listed minimum for 30+), while being significantly stronger than almost all women. Like, it would not be surprising if she has the highest Hamr among women in the Hading Valley and she's definitely in the top five.

So, she's pretty buff even by Norse standards. What that means when comparing her to our own or mortal standards though, we have no real clue beyond 'much stronger'.

Nah, Hasvir was able to identify Hirkir's work in terms of killing the draugr, I think he'd have noticed if it was his father's instead. This would also be really dramatically unsatisfying and be kinda out of nowhere. We know where all Horra's particular tricks came from at this point and this wasn't on the list.

Now, he could have fled to continue his father's work, at least in theory, but body hopping would be a copout and bad storytelling, so I have faith it didn't happen.
 
Two thoughts.
1) I wonder if Horra was missing a leg vat which is why he used so many arms for his creations.
2) Xianxia would work really well for a Diablo style game.
 
Oil change went swimmingly as my dad's a real handyman and then I took my grandpa out for lunch. But, I am now home.

It's just the orthstirr leaving the body to go to wherever afterlife the person goes to, if any.

At a certain point, it's difficult to really gauge things like that. If a truck were to hit Halla at full speed, she would be sent flying only to come back a few moments later and throw the truck into the nearest river. Its not linear growth, but its not quite exponential either. Just a general increase that is more than the last.

IF, i was looking throught the thread, but saw it nowhere.... so i am asking, do troll-man also suffer from the trolls' weakness against the sunlight or do the human half protects them from the curse?

"Hey, Blackhand, have you gone on underground adventures? Any recommendations or advices before we jump in?
Also, what do you think we will encounter under the valley?"

Troll-men have nothing to do with either trolls or humans. They're just kind of called that because, much like a troll, they're really hard to get rid of.

'The deeper you go, the more... It's difficult to describe. Not quite outright more dangerous, though it is, it's just... The deeper you travel beneath the surface of the earth, the worse the situation gets. It is unlucky for humans to go without the sun for extended periods of time, so don't spend more time than is necessary down there.'
