The Lay of Regin

Where are you right now? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/44251559220628a784dc593cfb0a3623/tumblr_pgpy50v2hI1x0ckxyo1_640.jpg> </div> [[A path.]] [[A river.]]

You are slain. This is what Otr would have done. Pro tip: Do not be Otr. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/379c888da3d291b850eb173376972913/tumblr_pgpyswCclH1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Try Again.->Where are you right now?]]

You and your two traveling companions are walking down an unremarkable path as you so often do when venturing away from Asgard. You come across a stream and an otter, that if cooked and skinned properly, could wield tonight's meal and a nice pelt. What do you do? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/d2ab594655f7c0b90248ede575ebdd53/tumblr_pgq9ziBj5F1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Hunt and kill the otter.]] [[Build a fire.]] [[Set up camp and keep watch.]]

You killed the otter and your companions were very appreciative of the meal. When you seek shelter tomorrow, you will also have a gift for your host, assuming they aren't morally opposed to animal furs. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/34fb43d7decae14c9eab36d8d1dfe40c/tumblr_pgqc6qjjtW1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Go to sleep.]]

You, in your infinite wisdom, built a fire to cook dinner over. One of your companions caught an otter, which made a tasty meal. When you seek shelter tomorrow, you will also have a gift for your host, in the form of somewhat smelly water-rodent fur. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/34fb43d7decae14c9eab36d8d1dfe40c/tumblr_pgqc6qjjtW1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Go to sleep.->odin]]

You stood watch while the other members of your party built a fire and caught tonight's meal, fresh otter. It kind of looked like you were doing nothing, but when your on the look out for potentially murderous rogues, doing nothing is a good thing. You look forward to presenting your host with a sleek otter pelt when seeking shelter tomorrow. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/34fb43d7decae14c9eab36d8d1dfe40c/tumblr_pgqc6qjjtW1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Go to sleep.->heimdall]]

You had a restful night's sleep and headed out early that morning. Later in the day, you stumble upon a castle. You figure this place looks as good as any to spend the night, and are ushered through the front gates and into the castle. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/386cf5a82b19874a57899bedda56f7a4/tumblr_pgqe2gLhUF1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Greet your host and present your gift.]]

Upon greeting King Hreidmar, you present him with your offering. He is shocked, not out of admiration for your generosity, but horror. The guards restrain you as the King declares you to be regicidal maniacs. You have killed the prince his son, Otr. You forgot dwarves could shapeshift. What do you do? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/b667e394d2ceac216353492c43094dc3/tumblr_pgqgafhnRy1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Threaten violence.]] [[Say nothing.

You are very small. The King laughs, ignores your threats, and demands reparations in gold. Hopefully you know where to find some </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/9414c008560c928931692703ac4c58b3/tumblr_pgqibe4ghc1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Agree to collect reperations.->"I can get you all the gold you could ever desire, provided you untie me first."]]

The King tells you you shouldn't lie. He demands reparations for this senseless killing in the form of gold. What do you say? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/9414c008560c928931692703ac4c58b3/tumblr_pgqibe4ghc1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [["Alright, I'll find some gold."->"I can get you all the gold you could ever desire, provided you untie me first."]]

The King (while assuring you no amount of material wealth could make up for the loss of his son) willingly agrees to be paid off, if said form of payment is cold hard gold. What do you say? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/9414c008560c928931692703ac4c58b3/tumblr_pgqibe4ghc1x0ckxyo1_640.jpg> </div> [["I can get you all the gold you could ever desire, provided you untie me first."]] [["I have three dollars."]]

King Hreidmar releases you from your fetters to go and fetch the gold while keeping your fellow travelers as hostages. Where do you look first? </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/e9cdb1fcd367267b92cd3136b0921a65/tumblr_pgqh22Ghw71x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Andvari's cave.]] [[Your house.]] [[You don't.]]

You are released and immediately set course for Asgard, your home. You are the leader of your tribe and people throughout the nine realms both depend upon and fear you. This is what Odin would have done. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/d44d82a2d86491638a47091e94de2690/tumblr_pgq9a9Fng01x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Play Again?->Where are you right now?]]

You are released and begin traveling back to Asgard. You can see Svartalfheim just as well from your lookout tower, Himinbjorg, as you can right now, WITHOUT the additional risk of being held hostage. This is what Heimdall would have done. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/0e20d6538312191acce11a95df27d7de/tumblr_pgq4pvGRyx1x0ckxyo1_640.jpg> </div> [[Play Again?->Where are you right now?]]

You enter Andvari's cave and everything is just how you left it. Including Andvari. You hastily scoop as much gold as you can into the pelt, linking two dwarvish murders in the process. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/aa06389dab85906f29ac1b41c79414f8/tumblr_pgqkq8ApjW1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Return to Hreidmar's Castle.]]

You arrive home and and find Andvaranaut, a magical ring capable of turning anything into gold. You fill up the pelt with a wacky assortment of now golden objects from your house. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/36481a46442e68a59d520ea80696803e/tumblr_pgqpgp2ahp1x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Return to Hreidmar's Castle.]]

The Norns are fed up with you making terrible decisions and twist your fate, forcing you to to collect the gold as promised. You realize you are holding Andvaranaut, a magical ring that turns anything into gold. You zap some pine cones and stuff, and fill the pelt with gold. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/29c388464d81db31a5009c545eac3305/tumblr_pgqjtrasbw1x0ckxyo1_640.jpg> </div> [[Return to Hreidmar's Castle.]]

You return to Hreidmar's castle and give him and the two remaining princes otr's gold filled pelt. The two princes, Fafnir and Regin, respectively release your two traveling companions; they usher you off of castle grounds and respectfully but firmly make it clear that you are not welcome back anytime soon. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/6c0e6dda6fcf837b9dfe212eac852c88/tumblr_pgqnisBlQ61x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[Leave.]]

You and your buddies immediately head in the direction of Asgard, your adoptive home. You sense they may still be upset with you for getting them into such a big mess, but ultimately don't see the big deal as you resolved it in the end. This is what Loki would have done. </style> <img src=https://66.media.tumblr.com/d21e894a822753502f99f2bdadd90008/tumblr_pgq3g7LGu41x0ckxyo1_540.jpg> </div> [[End.]]
