Do we actually know any heroquests? If we do we should kill someone try one. Otherwise, put another point in mysteries and try to learn one.

We started with Orlanth and Aroka, and an event gave us Humakt the Champion. Not sure if we've gotten any from sacrifices.

In that case, I'd say 2 points in Quests and try for Orlanth's quest this year.

Let's wait another year to heroquest, and try to build our magic stock a bit before then. Luckily our Spirit Fetches will help with that!

I'd like to see us try to set up a trade route with someone. Keep them silver rings rolling in. I don't know whether it's Diplomacy or Trade magic that helps with that.

I believe everything on the "relations" screen is affected by diplomacy and everything on the "trade" screen is affected by trade.

Yeah we're totally going for treasure :gifttank:

We promised our dear wife we would speak to our our Nephew, Daga, and then totally murder him.


Nephew, we would have words with ye!



He might be an evil Dust Skeleton, but he's still kin.. probably best not to murder him.



What would Brian Boitano do if he were here today?



I'm sure he'd kick an arse or two! That's what Brian Boitano'd do! :getin:


OK, so the event image has 3 enemies. Logic dictates that one of these hideous affronts to god has to be the Dark Woman...

Our magic will suffer if we let them lob dirt at our temple. But we weakened the Elmali magic by doing the same to them. (3)

Elmal must always be subordinate to Orlanth, or so our laws say. The Stag Hearth laws are different, however.

It's good to see Elmal getting picked on, instead of Eurmal. (4)

I am ashamed of what our brothers and sister have done. (1)

Elmal must always be subordinate to Orlanth. (4)

A tangible gift shows greater respect than do pretty words. (3)

Our magic will suffer if we let them lob dirt at our temple. (4)

Hey man, did I tell you about that time I did a Heroquest and didn't use a single hint? :smug:

- Allow them to lob dirt clods at your temple.
- Compose a poem of apology.
- Offer them compensation.

It does, but that only takes heroquests from "suicidal" to "usually suicidal".

Poetry slam condolences

Once Korlmar dies (he's old as balls) I think we're gonna be hard up on good combat nobles especially since Riker died on that away mission. Next heroquest should be spent beefing up a dude imho.

The Windslayer liked the Klanth, IIRC, but I also recall some of those were bugged in the GOG version, so I have no idea how these work out in the Steam version.

Joining in on the poetry slam bandwagon though I'm not sure how good we actually are at whatever that is (Bargaining? Customs?)

The treasures were fixed for the Android release.

Hints for Godquests were added to the Android release. I have no clue if they were on the iOS release, as I only have the android release. The steam version is a port of the android version, but it's still worth it.

It's basically a big ball of combat checks - the really hard part is killing Aroka at the end. I'm curious to see what Varsens' Combat skill is, since it must be fairly high.

Do we have any of the Glorantha lore heavyweights in this thread? It'd be nice to have effortposts about the harder to understand aspects of the setting, like heroquests, and I only consider myself barely qualified to do them (though I will if there's nobody actually qualified).

Well, what would you want to know about them? Since talking about just "heroquests" in general will lead us nowhere. Either that or the thread will end up looking like Arcane Lore, one of the more esoteric Stafford Library books (and that's saying something).

Also, great job on the Heroquest there!

As for these Elmali assholes - Offer them compensation. No way are we letting these guys lob dirt at our temple!
