Vikskyr

Vikskyr is a Nord who can be randomly encountered on Solstice. He is accompanied by Lorkik as they play a game.

DialogueEdit

You will find the pair playing a game called tooth and claw as you approach them.

Lorkik: "I am a dreugh, a hard-shelled storm-caller!"

Viskyr: "And I am an ornaug! A sea-riding, shell-cracker!"

Lorkik: "I am—curses! You win again, Vikskyr!"

If you speak to Vikskyr, you can partake in the game.

"Welcome, friend! Have you come to face Vikskyr in a game of tooth and claw? Or, will you quiver in your boots like these other so called challengers?"

How do you play tooth and claw?

"Tooth and claw is a game of wits played around the halls of Shor's Stand. I name an animal and you choose another to counter it. We keep going until one of us fails to name a creature than [sic] can overcome the other."

Is that all?

"Is that all, the little bird says? I propose a test. As I am the champion, I will begin with a beast and you will name its counter.
If I say, "I am a wolf, with a flesh rending bite," how would you respond?"

I am a bear, with a thick hide and mighty claws.

"Aha! There we go! A wonderful counter by naming a more ferocious beast. You seem to know what you're doing. Are you ready to face Vikskyr, the champion beast tamer?"

Let's play tooth and claw!

I am a snake, with a venomous bite!

"Ha! You chose to counter a big bite with a small bite? My wolf just gobbles up your pitiful serpent!
Forgive me, I should not judge you so harshly when this is practice. What say to a real game? Ready to face Vikskyr, the champion beast tamer?"

If you answer his first prompt with the bear, you will be dropped into a proper game of tooth and claw:

"We begin with a small, yet feisty beast.
I am a rat, with a pestilent bite!"

I am a raven, with talons like knives.

"I am a cat, with claws that cut wings!"

I am a dog, with a taste for sweet cats!

"I am a boar, with tusks that break bones!"

I am a troll that loves pork charred or raw!

"I am an ogrim, my club pounds trolls to dust!"

I am a dragon, with teeth like swords and a breath of fire!

"Genius! Perhaps your breath is flame as I can feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment! Tales will be told of how you bested Vikskyr the champion beast tamer of tooth and claw!"

I am a senche, with claws that tear flesh.

"^(?)"

I am a guar, with a head like solid rock.

"^(?)"

I am a rabbit, with keen eyes that see all.

"^(?)"

^(?)

"^(?)"

I am a squirrel, with nut cracking teeth.

"Ah, the beast you chose is too weak to stand against my tooth and claw! Come find me again after you sharpen your wit."

If you best Vikskyr in the game, Lorkik cheers:

Lorkik: "Amazing! You beat Vikskyr! Nice work! Watch out, Vikskyr, I'll beat you next!"

Vikskyr: "Ha! Then let's head to the inn. I need a drink if we're going to play again."

If you lose to Vikskyr in the game and talk to him again:

"Little thrushling, have you returned to face Vikskyr? I welcome the challenge!"

The two then head off to Shor's Stand.
