MM&D S2 Ironsworn Episode 3: The Quest Revealed

My Ironsworn character died today. I intended to End the fight with 10 marked progress boxes, and rolled two 10 in the challenge dice, a match. Also, I previously challenged the villain to a duel to the death, so I was pretty much doomed.

[@Kuzcotopia-g2m]

He/she is remembered!

[@UntoldRelic]

Man, I love Ironsworn. I especially love how easy it is to add another player when they ask what the hell you're doing at the kitchen table. My daughter has become Ygrid the Shieldmaiden and joined in the quest to find a suitable location for a new settlement for our people after a cursed storm destroyed our village with lightning, leaving only a handful of the clan alive.

[@lengeschder]

Between this awesome story, getting to learn new TTRPG/mechanics, and your performance, this show has been such a boon to my weekend. Hope more people find this gem!

[@JevousGaming]

Not gonna lie, had goosebumps when we find out what the scourge of the mountain was. And may I just say how perfectly the music sometimes crescendos at the perfect times? Chills.

[@infosecdefender]

I gotta say, you are a wonderful story teller. I started watching this series because i was trying to learn to play ironsworn and was super confused. You really made the game easy to understand and i just played my first one shot by myself yesterday. Keep up the great work. The story lines can twist on a whim so its amazing. My goal was to form an ironland army because one hadnt existed and i had to go from village to village gathering support from overseers (forming bonds) each bond was progress on the main vow. It was a lot of fun and honestly, way easier to manage than DnD solo

[@AttilaVoices]

When he rolled for the scourge of the mountain and the first word was "Raid", i was halfway expecting the second one to be Shadow Legends and an ad to start playing lol

[@paavohirn3728]

Ooph 😬

[@nrais76]

"It came down from the mountain, destroyed a settlement and it raids wealth...are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Hold on, let me pause here. "My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!" - Smaug, "The Hobbit" ...and yes, I am thinking exactly what you're thinking. (Oddly enough in episode 1 when you mentioned "the scourge of the mountain" I thought "fire wyrm?") Awesome job as usual.

[@nzundist]

I think the spear's name, or at least its identity, is: "Oddgeir". Transformation or spiritual transposition or some other high strangeness. That's why Oddgeir was trying to return to Yoruun (sp?) -- but perhaps he does not know or remember why!

[@VileoSufora4]

Rather than taking an obvious naming option for the spear, I went with something decidedly Norse: Valksgipt, literally meaning "Valkyrie's Gift." Was it given to Vestlidi (or one of his ancestors) by an actual valkyrie? Who knows! But it's a cool name. Maybe it also pairs with a shield that protected Vestlidi from the dragon's breath attack (be it fire or something else).

[@JoshuaMeehan]

Spear names: 1. Jarnkaldr (cold iron) 2. Jarnstokkr (iron tree trunc) 3. Jarnulfr (Ironwolf) 4. Hornfiskr (a type of long thin fish) 5. Varulfr (werewolf) Loved this episode! As well as your interpretation of the oracles! It may just be the superb editing but the oracles feel easy and natural! Cant wait till next week!

[@DIngointheface]

A fantastic show, can't wait for the episode. I'll put my money on that MM&D is gonna blow up pretty soon!

[@mansmord]

Spear name: Kalapokie :D in all seriousness, this has become by far my favorite channel on YT!

[@FrancisLeBaron]

I don’t have a name for the spear, but I think its tip was forged from one of the dragon’s own scales - the only thing hard enough to wound it.

[@DreamsOfBrokenStars]

The spear was forged from a meteorite fallen long ago in the Ironsworn land. The unearthly metal, blessed by mistics and forged in blood, can hurt things that no iron can pierce. The night it fell, the sky seemed to crumble down on the land, and it was therefore named Sky's End

[@SapperTV1]

The spear is Aegir Tosk which is Norse for “gods tooth”

[@CoreyBatie]

This is SUPER fun! Best Ironsworn play I've seen. Stunned you don't have more views! Recommending to friends now.

[@youreright...9254]

27:40 - Hope you rolled for that question. "Surely there is a weapon for that..." *roll failed* "No..." "Well... we're doomed then."

[@ChambersWrestling]

Spear name: The CaliPOKEe

[@mrnpc5e713]

Genius!

[@crapphone7744]

You were way too happy about the dragon. What fun! Smaug makes a guest appearance.

[@zcotty358]

Like many others, I originally watched the first episode to learn about Ironsworn... but dang, this some topnotch storytelling. I know you dislike that term but as a viewer, this was a story unveiling itself. Better than a lot of things on TV. 😂 That reveal at the end of what the scourge really is... the roll really aligned there. Brilliant.

[@DMVincentBrooks]

3 years on and I still love this show.

[@garthajones]

Yayyyy A Dragon. I love it. Proper fantasy!! Name of the spear: FROSTBITE

[@doctor_foobario]

I lolled at 8:25. "I swear to you Yorin, I will find this Oddgeir", then a subtle cut because he lost his shit and started laughing his ass off

"AND ITS A DRAGON" ok, season 2 will be short T_T

[@Kevin-Peter]

Really enjoying this amazing season Trevor, simply brilliant! Just a quick FYI, my usual gaming group and I were forced to go virtual early this year due to Covid, so we play D&D 5E using Roll20 on Thursday nights. The rest of the weekend, me and my girlfriend have been playing RPG's together co-op using either Mythic or the Game Masters appentice cards, and are huge fans of MM&D season I. But, after watching the start of MM&D season II, we recently decided to give Ironsworn a try and are loving it! Your videos here thus far have given us an amazing intoduction and turtioral and both Jenny and I look forward to Arn's amazing journey thru the Ironlands, as well as our own! Thanks for bringing us all so much joy in 2020 despite whats going on around us. Really looking forward to what's in store for the the rest of this season and beyond! Best always!

[@scottkelbell5003]

Great episode, Trevor. You always hit it out of the park. Name for the spear: The pike of peril or perilous piercer. When in doubt use alliteration. Say what?

[@scottkelbell5003]

Maybe Babe of Basilisks,a weapon used to defeat a basilisk by Arm's grand sure. Since it has features that allow it to easily defeat Basilisks, it will also give advantages against dragons.

[@JarethDuLac]

Totally picturing the scene as Arne telling Oddgeir to leave Jorun alone, for his own good. Oddgeir about to argue back, about how much he loves Jorun, only to look over Arne's shoulder at the dead bear with 3 arrows sticking out of it. And promptly agreeing to move on. 😂

[@Anny-me9ny]

Spear names Steel piercer The bleeding Trident Shadow piercer You guys in the comments sure are putting up some competition :D I’m not very good with names, but I have a desire to contribute to the show. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, it was fun! And this whole dragon thing is exciting. Poor lad, odgeir

[@dylanwatts1045]

Yoooooo, I legit got chills when the oracle revealed the Scourge to be a dragon! I just bought the Mythic GME 2e today, and I cannot wait to start participating in this hobby!

[@mrnpc5e713]

Another magnificent episode! This may be my first ever patron subscription.

[@luizricon]

Fantaaaaaaastic! I vote that the spear should be called Frostbite and maybe it causes cold damage to the fire breathing dragon, exploring the creature's greatest vulnerability. Oh no! We'll have to wait a whole week for the next episode? 😭😭😭😭😭

[@wanderdragon1075]

“Came down from the mountains, destroyed a village, steals wealth” Me: Oh no. I know where this is going… “See where I’m going with this?” Yes, yes I did. This should be epic

[@JWMet]

Such an awesome episode. Nice twist about the Scourge of the Mountain. Spear Name: Dragon's Bite

[@DIngointheface]

Fantastic episode, an absolute blast. My two cents, the spear's named for the famous wound Vestidli inflicted: Wyrmfeller.

[@jonwooldridge3766]

Arne is not my favorite character out of three (Simon, Edberd, and Arne), but I do enjoy watching the mechanics work and the story play out through Trevor's interpretations. Looking forward to Episode 3. #Bring Back Edberd.

[@Anny-me9ny]

Yes I’d have to agree with this one, I totally miss Edbert, season 3? 😌

[@crapphone7744]

One is forced to wonder, does Simon still suck, back in the Southern Lands?

[@paavohirn3728]

I feel Arn soon became a really strong and interesting character through his complicated and evolving relationship to Simon.

[@CaioCesarCampos]

I have an idea, Irsia thinks that the spear can heal because the dragon it is not a normal dragon, it is a Dracolich and so the spear has holy properties and the name could be Demonmorder it is a rough translation of Demon Murderer made by google. So not only the spear can damage the dracolich but also if you know what you are doing (I dont know if this is Irsia case) you can use it to pierce through curses and black magic dismissing them. Well thats is my attempt to help you, love your show here from Brazil, see you later next week.

[@gegegebebebe5087]

My suggestion for the name of the spear is, because Kalapunki is finnish and means "fisher town" - Harppuuna, which is the finnish word for harpoon.

[@jordanedwards2633]

I played a dnd game and my cleric came across a fabled spear. It was called "Kal'ramiir" - Judgement of the mighty guardian, and it gave some cool benefits but I always loved the name. I think it would be a fitting name because Arne's Great Grandfather Vestlidi was the guardian of Wolfstone

[@lukedorrington7455]

After not being able to get a dnd party together regularly I wanted a solo rpg and ironsworn looks like it might be exactly what I want! I had originally thought Fate but these videos make ironsworn look better suited

[@nwren4637]

Widow"s Leek Liver Breather Ravenguest Soulfinger I seem to remember that in Celtic lore, the Dagda's club killed with one end and healed with the other.... You are a great actor and storyteller and I would love to game at your table! Thanks for your hard work!

[@pbajzek]

I’m really enjoying this! I started watching because i’m interested in solo RPGs, but I’m hooked on your excellent storytelling skills.

[@DylanDunham-bx8rm]

The spear tip is actually the preserved hand of a renowned healer (witch) which can reach into any creature to remove an illness (or a major organ if used in a hostile manner! Thus able to pierce dragon scale!). It is called, Häxahand, Witch's Hand!

[@jdogcisco1]

I appreciate your energy level, your enjoyment of this game and the production quality. I'm not sure I'm creative enough to give this game a go myself, but I'll certainly keep watching.

"A dragon huh? Simon would know what to do! I'll go ask him."

I am not jiving with this system nearly as well as Savage Worlds XD but I am digging this new setting/feel. I like the emphasis on bonds and oaths to keep people directed without it feeling like railroading; I bet GMs in traditional games love that aspect. Also I've been on the same line of thought for a LOT of these interpretations. My first kneejerk reactions to the story your building usually end up being what you come up with seconds later lol

[@kevin.m.rodrigo]

Frostbane would be a badass name for the spear, and it's easy to pronounce as well. There's also the thematic contrast there between ice and fire.

[@morganheinz9664]

Is Oddgeir's last name "Wilhelm"? Because that scream sounded familiar...

[@andysimmons2648]

Another excellent episode. I’m thoroughly enjoy Arn’s adventures and having him face a dragon is awesome and a fantastic revelation. I thought I was really smart thinking up the Norse for for the spear. I thought that Atgeir ór Jarn (or yarn as in story) which translates as Spear of Iron was pretty clever but there are so many other awesome comments with equally good Norse names. Whatever name you choose, I look forward to seeing how the story progresses.

[@OjoRojo40]

Aren't you supposed to mark A TICK / on your bond's bar?? You marked a whole "progress move" #. Thanks for the video! Great fun.

[@Grilled_Burger]

God this is coming out so good,I was a little disappointed to see you use a different system then the savage worlds for this season but I think it’s very fitting for Arron’s story. Also this is a much different Arron then we saw in season 1, idk if that’s because now he’s the main character or if Simon inspired him to go back home and fulfill his vow, much how Simon went back home and cleared his name despite the odds

[@ianbyrne465]

The spear is called Pokey McPokeface

[@gmrandolfo]

Great Episode. Thanks Trevor. The spear is named "Writhe" (a play on "Rith-ay", which I'm told is Icelandic for "rust") A 12 foot long, black iron spear, half of which is perpetually covered in rust yet it never dulls its jagged blade. Any who swear an oath on this spear are given great powers to fulfill their oath (perhaps, wounds from this spear never heal or it carries a deadly poison - like rust poisoning) . However, like the spear, the owner suffers a slow and wasting curse. Should the quest fail, or they lose the spear, they are doomed to walk the Ironlands forever. Wise heroes have only ever used the spear once and then given it away. Vestildi needs the spear to either free a loved one from this curse or put down one of these abominations (perhaps a fallen king from an ancient battle). Nobody knows the exact connection this spear has to the Ironlands but it is hard to deny that there must be some connection between the curse on this spear and the curse on the lands...

[@robertmartinez6335]

Loving the series Spear names: Gottes-nagel (this is German for god's nail) Himmelfaust (Sky or Heaven fist) and just a typical name Oathbringer lol I am sure that this one is used all the time.

Scourgebane, the dragonslayer spear

[@danielcallaghan6892]

Ascalon ! The spear used by St George in the legend of the dragon. At first George tamed the dragon by giving him sheep but soon it demanded humans instead. When one day the princes was called to be the sacrifice George instead went out and killed it with Ascalon to save the princess.

[@339blaster]

just rewatched it (previosly only listened to it) and the part from the waterfalls really hooked me until the end as for the spear's name, what about Raghnar Rhog? From ragnarok (and Witcher), a dragon can be said to participate in the final battle for the world; and this spear is said to have descended from the heavens to bestow mankind a chance to slay the terrible creatures

[@jamestraver356]

How about Vǫrðr -Norse name for Protector or Caretaker. It could possibly cover the healing aspect and why it was stolen. This is a fantastic series! I wish I could spin a story like you do.

[@AkeelaTheGhost]

I think the spear was probably something already renowned before the wounding of the dragon. I doubt a mundane weapon could deliver such a grievous wound to a creature like a dragon. Dragon's blood (the sap from the tree in real life) is used in folk medicine to treat wounds, and I think the stuff in a dragon's veins might have the potential to do the same with greater potency. The spear was changed in that fight from something that protected Wolfstone by killing into something that could also heal wounds. No idea what it use to be called, but ever since that fight it was known as Astagar, the Bloodkeeper.

[@coreymayo8321]

So of course there's going to be a battle at sea vs. the announced big baddie. Like, Game of Thrones + Moby Dick. So the spear must be a harpoon... likely shot from a ship on fire. I'm in.
