Vikskyr

Vikskyr is a Nord found during Random Encounters on Solstice. He is accompanied by Lorkik.

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!
"(?)"
(?)

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 sench, 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.
"(?)"

If you best Viskyr in the game, Lorkik cheers:

Lorkik: "Amazing! You beat Vikskyr! Nice work! Watch out, Vikskyr, I'll beat you next!"
Viskyr: "Ha! Then let's head to the inn. I need a drink if we're going to play again."

The two then head off to Shor's Stand.
