Yay!
Okay so based on thoughts that have been had previously by myself and
@LightLan and
@Jreengus here's my thinking on a plan:
[] Plan A Princess, A Future King, and Hopefully a Catbird
-[] [Difficult] Triage Pt. 2:
[Cost: 2 action]. Productivity Like No Other will proc. Apply optional structural materials and any aesthetic changes here. Due end of Turn 37. Gain 80 Favour with Kraka Drakk and 1 Standing and 80 Favour +??? with Karak Ungor. Three limbs to be made, three items to craft.
2 Actions.
--[] Arm: Master Rune of Waking [T4 Troll Heart], Rune of Forged Limb, Rune of Stone, use Adamant. Bands detailing history of Clan with Hearthstone in shoulder.
--[] Leg: Rune of Forged Limb, Rune of Vitality [on Hearthstone], Rune of Fortitude [on Hearthstone]
--[] Leg: Rune of Forged Limb, Rune of the Valiant, Rune of Warding [on Hearthstone]
-[] [Difficult] A Princely Wedding Gift Pt.1:
[Cost: 1 action] Due end of Turn 36. If a rune you want requires special ingredients that you don't have access to I will alert you. Apply optional Rune Ingredients here. Gain 100 Favour with Kraka Ravnsvake. A talisman belt, the band is Magma Wyrm Hide with plates of Pure Gromril carved with images of life in Kraka Drakk, of her craftsmen and teachers and King, and the center three plates of the buckle are Adamant and contain the runes of power. The Pure Gromril plates are studded with Hearthstones and Dronril and images of Azrilwutroth and Dronwut are prominent in the imagery of the plates.
1 Action.
--[] Choose:
Master Rune of Wandering, Rune of Impact (T3 Stonehorn Horns), Rune of Grimnir. Apply any suitable upgrades to the Rune of Grimnir.
-[] Zhufazul:
[Cost: (4 -3) =1 actions] Journeyman of the Odd and Soul of the Earth will proc. The Liquid sits in warded kegs, ready to be poked and prodded at. Preliminary tests confirm it is not in fact some odd water, but something wholly different. Having undergone some no doubt maddening and downright foolish transmutation through the powers of perfidious magick. Harrumph.
1 Action.
-[] Dreng Them:
[Cost: 1 retainer action] Can be taken multiple times. Additional actions add bonus modifier. The Hearth Guard will go out and slay [Write-in] monster. Gain mats, reputation and +2 bonus per action to Recruitment Dice.
--[ ] Peak Clearing:
Gain Flying Monster Mats, -2 to Brana recruit threshold (1D20, DC20) for this turn's recruitment. While the Brana are perfectly willing to hunt and kill monsters themselves, they look kindly upon and welcome any Dawi who wish to aid them in clearing a particular mountain peak of monsters. A service they render in exchange for the food it provides, and in return the local Dawi are freed of pesky beasts that would bother or hurt them.
-[] ORDER: A White Lion corpse.
-[] [Simple] Armoured Maidens:
[Cost: 12 actions] Due end of Turn 40. Productivity Like no Other will proc. Gain 70 Favour and 1 Standing with the Cult of Valaya. Snorri thinks another patron might be found by end of Turn 35.
--[] Accept
OKAY! So, the idea here is to crank out the Triage action with three actions total into it, using the T4 Troll Heart on the Master Rune of Waking. Nothing else is really getting added there as nothing really needs additions.
So for Gimli's talisman I've pivoted to liking Jreengus's idea the most and am willing to give this an artists go. The idea here with the belt's physical structure is to evoke a champion among dawi
and to remind Gimli of our speech to him about how to King, while serving as a reminder of home and using some snazzy materials on it. One bar of adamant goes to the three rune plates in the middle around the buckle area since I hold to the policy that stuff that goes on our royalty should be adamant if at all possible.
Now, the Runes, I'm drawing a lot on what Jreengus has said: The idea here is to evoke Grimnir's valiant charge, the sheer
force with which he hits his enemies with a battle cry. The idea is to also evoke the impact of a meteor, whence Gimli manages to become King in several centuries time. Wandering is to evoke the idea of great speed over any terrain, like a bolt or meteor searing a path to its enemies without being impeded, Impact is for greater momentum and force of the strike, and then Grimnir is for battle acumen and fire as in Pyrestrike and the feeling of The Charge. The idea that when you charge, you are doing as Grimnir did.
I'm using Stonehorn Horns as upgrade for Impact because Impact is probably part of the Master Rune of Smiting and Stonehorns are known to charge and crush things with their big horns. Grimnir's rune I do want to upgrade, but want to leave it up to soulcake after thinking about it for any suitable upgrade mats. I forgot that we specify the ingredients as we do part 1 so sorry
@Jreengus I was mistaken on that.
Then Zufazul with hopes of using it on Gimli's thing and because its generally useful in our armor commissions going forward.
Then I'm picking Dreng Them because I want that +2 to recruitment dice and a -2 to Brana DC because I want to try for getting
@bird yells Nightfeather into the retinue because that is neat.
Then the order for a white lion corpse for later jiggery pokery.
I'm not picking any of the new available requests yet, they're not urgent yet. I'm not sure we'll be able to do Gate to the Sea but no harm if we can't there's good Runesmiths around for it.
E: Added in the Valaya Commission since I forgot.
E2: Added this line to Gimli's thing,
"The Pure Gromril plates are studded with Hearthstones and Dronril and images of Azrilwutroth and Dronwut are prominent in the imagery of the plates."
