Judgement: Storvacker
Side quest: Judgment: Storvacker
Characters involved: Svarah Sun-Hair, Storvacker
(After granting the legend-mark - see the side quest “Guests of the Hold” - Svarah will ask the Inquisitor to pass a judgement on Storvacker. Interact with Storvacker who’s standing near the entrance to the Thane's hall in order to initiate the cutscene.)
Svarah: I hear you judge wrongs among your people, Inquisitor. If you are willing, I ask you to judge Storvacker.
PC: I’m sorry?
Svarah: As a warrior of our hold, Storvacker should have died rather than submit to the vile ritual the Jaws of Hakkon had prepared. It is... unclear whether the augur or I should judge such a thing. You are here. I would be grateful. [1]
[1] Dialogue options:
General: If it helps? [2]
General: I'll "bear" that burden. [3]
General: She's. A. Bear. [4]
[2] General: If it helps?
PC: I... suppose I could render judgment. If it helps the hold. [5]
[3] General: I'll "bear" that burden.
PC: Very well. I wouldn't want life in the hold to become... unbearable. [5]
Party comments:
Cassandra: Ugh.
[4] General: She's. A. Bear.
PC: She doesn't even have the faintest idea why she's here! [5]
[5] Storvacker: (Great yawn.)
Svarah: (Sighs.) Storvacker, will you speak to the hold for your deeds? [6]
[6] Dialogue options:
General: Cut back on her treats? [7]
General: We'll "bear" her misconduct. [8]
General: This is punishment enough. [9]
Mage: Tranquili-bear? [10]
Special: I'm recruiting her. [11]
[7] General: Cut back on her treats?
PC: I... assume she gets choice scraps now and then? Storvacker: No treats for a week.
Svarah: Yes. Fullna should not have snuck her honeycakes. Perhaps she will fight better with less fat on her. [12]
[8] General: We'll "bear" her misconduct.
PC: Storvacker, I demand an unflattering report of your performance as a hold-beast. It will be recited to you every day for one week. I trust this is sufficient... em"bear"rassment?
Party comments:
Cassandra: Ugh!
Svarah: (Sighs.) It will give our skald a challenge, Inquisitor. [12]
[8] General: This is punishment enough.
PC: As leader of the Inquisition, I declare this trial sufficiently scornful to be punishment. Live well, be free to go, et cetera.
Storvacker: (Inquisitive snuffling.)
Svarah: I see the tales told of your kindness did not lie. [12]
[10] Mage: Tranquili-bear?
PC: When lowland mages commit grave crimes, there is a Rite of Tranquility. Now, just hypothetically…
Svarah: No. [Back to 6]
[11] Special: I'm recruiting her.
PC: As honorary member of the hold, I believe a hold-beast can travel with my people and still "keep her oaths.” Storvacker, as Inquisitor "First-Thaw," your punishment will be to serve my Inquisition.
Storvacker: (Inquisitive growl.)
Svarah: Lady! (Sighs.) The Master of the Hunt will make mockery of me for this. [12]
[12] (Storvacker leaves the Thane’s hall.)
