On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Guys I pick Right, Why? because the description has the word Endurance in it and this part of the test says Endure. You have to wonder if the Ancestors ever want to tell a beardling to stop over thinking everything and just go with something
 
It is the rune of stone. Going with the most basic version of the three is the way.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if there's no wrong answer, only wrong though processes and something weird happens when we pop all three runes in the final trial. Like if Snorri passes, it completes the combo and out pops the Ancestor Rune of Dawi that encompasses all 9 of these runes.
 
"Remember this day lad. Not the saga, nor the glory that comes from it, but the feeling of flesh failing and armour breaking. Of spending every last piece of yourself and then spending beyond even that. Of using nothing but your Will to keep going, because the alternative means all you care about crumbles around you," he says, gaze inscrutable.

Is this the Grimnir quote that people had been talking about? Is compelling, but we have to remember that Grimnir's answer may not be Thungni's answer, after all.

Soulcake just confirmed that to pass, we need to make a Combo. Not a specific Combo, just a functional Combo.

And yet. What is it that separates the Ancestor Gods from their normal kin? What is it that makes them both more and beyond Dawi? All had singular Wills to move their race forward in some way.
 
Oof.....that was the hardest trial to experience so far. At least for me. Being shown what could have been if SHE had lived.....what a gut punch.
Made even worse by being shown the "mistakes" he made with Karstah. That hit hard. Especially when it was shown how exhausted he was after he came out of it.

Only for him to immediately say that if needed Karstah can carry the hammer. Showing that he considers her worthy of it. The sheer, understated believe in her ability shown with that little sentence was a salve on my spirit. Because it shows, from Karstah's perspective, that he does care for her a lot and she knows.

What a whiplash of feelings.
 
Right is definitely the way to go, it's the only option that actually influences someone's (edit: personal) capacity to endure. I'd be somewhat more inclined to the left option if Snorri hadn't just experienced a vision calling out his insistence on 'smothering' people, as the vision itself puts it.

Right makes us tougher, but we are already hellishly tough. Left means we share our already stupid toughness with allies.

Left is best.

I'd argue that we got a hint in the exchange about coddling those around us. While it was just Snorri's fears talking, it also could be a narrative hint towards the best combo. I think right sets us on the path of an ancestor, where we stand at the pinnacle of what a dwarf could be without limiting their potential by smothering them.

I'm very divised on this one. While middle seems the most unlikely with our current chosen combo , the other two both have strength.

-Left is about the Dawi as a collective. Stone added together forming a timeless mountain, each stone strengthen by others one. Alone they are tough but together they are mighty.

-Right is about Dawi as individual. The will is what make a Dawi strong, what enable them to live for so long, to make creation of power and beauty beyond their own. It's what enable them to keep going forward, to keep grudge and favor century after century.

Overall i would go right since the whole trial is about you as a Dawi rather than your people in general. You are a Runesmith, not a King, your job is to create not to rule. And it also seem more adapted for our current choices.

You're a Runelord. A dwarf with few peers, the prestige and responsibility of a Guildmaster, High Priest and even in some circumstances a King all bundled into one career. A dwarf of your rank, your age, your skill, should be doing more than running herd on a bunch of youngsters!

Being a Runelord means that you are, in some circumstances a King. Your job isn't just to craft, it's to lead, which is why the responsibility to be both guild master and high priest as well as sometime king is mentioned.
 
I'm actually thinking Left, because of that line about "Embodying Us". That's the only rune that offers a collective boost out of the group instead of being solely for the benefit of the wearer.
 
[X] [Stone:] Right
[Improves general toughness. Wearer's endurance and durability increase proportionately to their willpower]
