Skidbladnir, the Folding Longship

Skidbladnir was created by the dwarven brothers Brokk and Sindri, the sons of Ivaldi. A truly wondrous creation, this beautiful, gold-inlaid
Viking longship can hold all the gods, their weapons and their steeds for a journey of any duration. Originally it belonged to Loki, but was given to Freyr as part of Loki’s reparation for the theft of Sif’s golden hair. The ship was big enough to hold the whole of the host of Asgard, and whenever the sails were hoisted, a fair wind followed. It could travel over both land and sea. Skioblaonir was made by so many parts and with such ingenuity that it could be folded like a cloth and carried in one’s pouch.

Skidbladnir has the following powers:

-The owner, with a command word, can cause the ship to fold in upon itself till it is no larger than your fist. Repeating the command word reverses the process.

-The Folding Longship travels twice the speed of a normal longship under similar conditions and can cut through solid earth as easily as the waves.

-Regardless of weather or magic, Skidbladnir always has a Favorable Wind.

-The ship has fire resistance 30.

Gullinbursti (Freyr’s Boar)

When Loki had Sif’s hair, Freyr’s ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin’s spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokkr that his brother Eitri (Sindri) wouldn’t have been able to make items to match the quality of those mentioned above.

So to make gifts to Freyr, Eitri threw a pig’s skin into a furnace as Brokkr worked on the bellows, and together they manufactured the boar Gullinbursti which had bristles in its mane that glowed in the dark.

Roleplaying

Gullinbursti is the golden bristled boar crafted by the dwarves Brokk and Sindri during their wager with Loki. He later pulled the chariot of the god Freyr. The boar is said to be able to run through the air and over the sea, day or night. Also, it shines so brightly that wherever it goes, no matter how gloomy the surrounding, the boar will light the way. His body is crafted from adamantine and his eyes from rubies.

Combat

Burst of Light (Sp): 5/day – The bristles on Gullinbursti’s back may call forth a Radiant Burst of light in a 150 ft. radius (as the spell Sunbeam cast at 15th level).

Construct Traits (Ex): Gullinbursti has no Constitution score and is immune to mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, energy drain and nonlethal damage. He is not subject to critical hits, flanking or death from massive damage and is immune to effects requiring a Fortitude save unless they also affect objects.

Immunity to Magic (Ex): Gullinbursti is immune to spells and spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. An electricity effect slows him for 3 rounds with no saving throw. A fire effect breaks that slow effect and instead repairs 1 hit point for every 3 points of fire damage it would otherwise deal.

Trample (Ex): As a standard action, Gullinbursti can trample Large or smaller creatures for 2d8+25 points of damage. A target that does not make an attack of opportunity against him can attempt a Reflex save (DC 57) for half damage. The save DC is Strength-based.

Charge (Ex): Gullinbursti may charge an opponent, lowering his head to use his mighty tusks. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows him to make a single gore attack that deals 4d8+25 points of damage.
