It is. That and the first with him wearing armor. Plus, of course, his extensive progress in cultivation since the first one.

Well, as Fister said..
Knights/Squires spend ALL their time training. A Norseman is a Farmer, Fighter, and who knows what else.
No Manacles
Sparrowflight instead of some random sword
Armor
Armor Upgrade (Sten)
2nd Decade -> 4th Decade
Several years of training
So about 6+ levels of upgrades.

I think Gabriel is waiting for us to toss Standstill out.

True, but we train a lot more than the average Norseman.
In fairness, our own gains in the same timeframe have been:
Gotten to the First Realm
Gone from 15 Orthstirr to 561
Gone from 29 Combat Pool to 89
Gone from Hamr 4 to Hamr 7 and 4 Endurance to 13 Endurance
Gained 5 Shapeshifting Slots
Gained Frenzy 5
All other Infusion Effects
Gained 7 Hugareida and literally dozens of Tricks
Several years of training ourselves
Jerasmus can likely teach him the Hugareida-equivalent stuff...well, as well as anyone can. He has a stealth magic option, which argues that might well be true...I don't imagine those to be common among Knights, so him picking it up from Jerasmus is the most logical explanation.
And he can, of course, pick up actual fundamentals like stats on his own, and skills with our help...non-Hugareida-equivalent Prayers (their equivalent of Tricks) are probably the thing has has the most trouble with, but that hurts his versatility more than it does his raw power.

Cool!
Could I put a Reward Dice to each of the Runecraft attempts? (2 total)
Obviously my runework needs the best possible interpretation..
Hey! We could use the Healing Water for our fermentation!
Oh right, removing Manacles also means that Gabriel can actually, well, use Prayers.

- He/Him
He could use 'mundane' Prayers even with the manacles on, just not 'Hugareida-equivalent' ones. But yeah, it's a definite difference.

Fortifying The Thread

The manacles stopped him from cultivating and also from using his fervor in prayers. He was still able to infuse his basic attacks with fervor, but that's a far cry from his actual capabilities.
Sure!

He talked with Jerasmus after the Troll-Men attack, so he was in contact with him as recently as early Year 7. We're at the end of Year 8, so it's possible he's not spoken with him too recently, but he was freed in Year 5, so they definitely had some time without manacles during which Jerasmus could've instructed him.
Ah! So he was limited to only the Hone equivalent. Check. That makes sense.

Incidentally, can we do this:
1) Summon a Trick *behind* ourselves
2) Use Recall/Quick Recall to summon the trick to us
3) Dodge, let the Trick zoom at the enemy.
This could allow Sparkbomb to be used at range, by fixing it's speed issue.

Speaking of which, maybe swap out Beaconlight for Fireside Barrage for this fight?
Also I think that the method the Knight/Squires use to get cultivator animals is the same principle we can use to grant animals (like Flekkr, but don't test on him obviously) )the ability to cultivate.

Well, note that our training is much more spread out compared to Gabriel's. And of course Orthsirr we don't use a in a battle might as well not exist.

True, but the current plan burns 158 Orthstirr plus whatever we spend on defenses other than Atgeir Bodyguard. We are in fact making at least some use of our much larger pool.
I mean, Fireside Barrage seems not very useful to me, and I think we have a free Capacity anyway...but we probably should change things up a bit for exactly that reason, lemme look at our unselected stuff and get back to you with appropriate changes.
EDIT: Ah! Atgeir Bodyguard got slotted in automatically, so we are full-up. Yeah, you're right, Beaconlight for Fireside Barrage is the best change. I'll add it in.

We could use this as the basis of the storage runebox idea!
Can the clay be 'fired' like 'regular' clay?
Either way, this could be a big upgrade for our Storage!

Does Steinarr know that Bram Ironjaw killed Rainmaker of the Jomsvikings?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I think we, Solrun, and her daughter, may be the only people who know that around here. Solrun got a magic vision of it happening and we happened to be there for it...if she didn't spread it around (and I doubt she did), it may take the news longer than this to get here. Like, I'm sure the King of Agder knows, and probably Corpsemaker, but random people in the valley? I'm less sure.

Also guys..
This was.. months ago.
It was there all along.

Also Steinarr said enough Hamr and you can shapeshift into animals.
Does that mean one can also Shapeshift their Fylgja(!) into a different animal(!!!)?

A question about a possible upgrade to WEAPON
The exploding charm was originally designed for pottery, right? And runes are more powerful if they are hidden. So make a jar with the runes on the inside, and small holes in the side. Then put that inside a bigger jar (also runed). Continue until the final jar is the size of a horse.
To arm, fill the entire outer pot with paint or animal blood so the smaller pots get filled too. Throw.

That wa a really nice update.
But this is does make it interesting, figuring out how much mud we need for a real cold room/freezer.
Steinarr we need more details. Now.
This is a whole stand alone topic for sure.
Also a good warning of not going "Death McKill murderhobo grandmaster" with the edgiest fylgja possible.
Also will Gabriel be the forever squire?
His story will be legendary! (And most probably adapted for many stories across the times...)
And IF did said most squires tend to bottleneck in either lure basics, which Gabriel was forced to put a lot of effort into or by open mindedness, which, again, Gabriel was forced to think about.
He also didn't need to deal with jockeying for position or court intrigue while with us, unlike before his thralldom.
... Gues no mud baths then.

Yeah, theory confirmed but the bonus effects are really neat.

Oh! Good for him!

Yeah, no surprise there
Yeah, he knows Halla well. I say we put half our dice on defense, with most of those in basic defenses.
I mean, he was at the 8th bead of 3rd decade when we first met him.

The plan is to let Atgeir Bodyguard handle any Basic Attacks.
No, he was at the 8th Bead of the 2nd Decade. He's come a long ways.

My suspicion is that they have Revelations.
If so Gabriel probably has more revelations than the average squire.

When he gets home he will be the weirdo murderhobo who can't plot to save his life and is constantly insulting people by accident but who nobody wants to fight if they can avoid it.
