I know, right? :D

In Ironsworn it's a bit tough to regain spirit. The best way to do it is with a sojourn. But for that you need to spend time in a community. Not always easy while on the road.
Other ways are make camp or test a bond. But they only give you +1 each.

In Starforged, they introduced this new move. It's basically the same as the heal and resupply moves (+2 on a strong hit) but for spirit.
I suggest we make use of this one too.

You read my mind. I was looking through the core moves recently, but as you say, regaining spirit ain't easy.

I agree that using this move will make things more balanced.

In addition, I was thinking of making a custom Asset that mitigates spirit loss. It fits Etta, as she wants to be fierce and strong-willed.

I'm all for it! :)
We can do a sort of milestone leveling instead of XP-based if we want to. Or would you be replacing one of your current 3 assets?

I'll wait until we're done with this quest, which will put us at 5 XP. Enough to get a new asset, then upgrade an asset, if we so choose.

I'm not really hankering to level up more quickly. Unlike a system like D&D, in Ironsworn it almost seems like an afterthought.

But if you want to see your XP coffers fill up sooner, we can brainstorm ideas. I think we discussed some possibilities earlier.

That works for me. No need to change anything.

Nice post, I like the lore you introduced with the monks and Steelharbor :)

I might not be able to post until Monday. If I find the time I will but I'll be out of town for a few days.

Thanks! Tried to tie everything together. Give you something to chew on.

OK, have fun! I don't know how you can survive without RP for that long, but anyway....🤣

Turns out I couldn't! Haha

To clarify: the duo will accompany us to the borders, but then expect us to travel with them back to the "pitstop"? So we'll have to make a round trip?

And will this be an additional Iron Vow? If so, what rank?

The way I see it, the monks don't live inside the village. And Malik is specifying they will not go into the village. So they could still join us to the monks if they want to.
Otherwise they would wait for us to return from what we need to do and then we take them back.

I'd say a troublesome vow. It's more about the promise not a difficult task.
