I awake. I answer questions both pre and post-doot now.
@soulcake how stiff/light is gromril and adamantine? I have no idea if you will allow the quest move in the direction this all would require (let alone if people would vote for it, or if other characters would go for it especially without our admantine)...but at this point I'm curious.
I assume Gromril is x times stiffer than steel, with it only becoming workably ductile under sufficient levels of heat otherwise there needs to be a lot of force to move it. Adamant is several times more stiff than that, and if it has Runes put on it the metal almost "locks," into place. Obviously, if you beat it thin enough it starts to be more flexible, but that only goes so far. Its fantasy super metal that GW never bothered to go into depth with and has two different explanations of its properties.
@soulcake, I have a couple of Runes for you!
[Weapon] Rune of Wooziness: Weapons bearing this Rune inflicts dizziness, nausea, and inebriation upon their targets. While not directly lethal, an enemy incapable of focusing in combat is a dead enemy.
This Rune was first struck by Thorim the Drunk, who stumbled his way into creating this Rune in a drunken fugue.
[Engineering] Master Rune of Impalement: Ammo fired will strike near instantaneously with no loss in altitude and damage, and has a high chance of breaking through armor and (to a lesser degree) magical wards.
Wooziness: added.
Impalement: Added. Probably derived from the Rune of Penetrating.
I still don't understand what Vragni's problem with Snorri is. What is so radical about Snorri's productivity?
You are a vegan, you generally don't give a hoot about what someone thinks or does and you largely keep to yourself unless asked specifically about it but you have very strong opinions when pushed.
Snorri is essentially a meat-loving obligate carnivore constantly having barbeques and offering meat to everyone around you and being especially flamboyant about it and you live right next to his house. All in all, it's not enough to kill him over but it certainly grates when he's going around everywhere with "eat meat," stickers and yelling to the world that he loves the taste of animal flesh.
Also the smell of his barbeques wafts from his house to yours frequently due to prevailing winds.
It's not an entirely accurate summation of the situation and heavily favours Vragni's POV, but suffice it to say that Snorri is pressing a lot of Vragni's annoyance buttons very hard and very frequently.
@soulcake
What's the story if/when we go into negative favors on something?
You owe them something. You can work it off proactively or wait for them to come to you, with an understanding that it will be a bit of a faux pass to ignore the request.
@soulcake: will Snorri test his hammer's new ability in the next update?
Iunno, probably. We'll see if the Fimir feel daring with the rolls.
Hmmm, i just had a thought
@soulcake . With how we are seen by kraka drakk. How many snotlings called snorri are there? Is it a statistically significant number?
Snorri is the "Dave" of Dwarf society. There are very many Snorris in this world, but that's more likely due to Snorri Whitebeard, eldest son of the Ancestor Gods than it is you. Though you certainly have some cause for the name popping up in the Far North. If I had to guesstimate, I'd say that Snorri is noticeably, but not overly much so, more common when you hit Kraka Drakk and beyond than it is in the southern parts of the Karaz Ankor.
Also, regarding Rudil social, I just put it there as a sort of teaser as to what will appear in the next doot. Please still pick three.
