That's a good point. Abjorn could become (even more) terrifying if he learns to use Leverage properly.

Definitely.

And yeah, Abjorn's dad seems like an asshole. I'm surprised that Steinarr is friends with him.

Some people are charming enough with their friends despite being shitty parents. Steinarr and he have more in common temperament-wise than he and Abjorn, and Steinarr isn't (according to himself) great with hugareida either. There's also the 'war buddies' thing...the two of them have almost certainly both saved each other's lives, which makes a bond.
 
And yeah, with Leverage? Abjorn can probably create a hell of a shield-parry Trick. Nothing like "I block the attack and now you're getting flung away with my full strength in an instant" to ruin an attacker's day and break up their rhythm.
 
Leverage could be something that works extremely well with... well, leverage.
(What a coincidence!)

So something with a long handle, like a 2-handed sword (like the steel one Sten made for our wedding gift?) or a polearm (are battleaxes something a Norse would use?)
Considering how Abjorn got it (holding a tree), has me imagining a mallet.
 
[X] Plan Raid The Town

I am glad that the plan still has the one with luxurious hair. We took the Beautiful trait darn it, and I wish to leverage it.
 
Been thinking about it for a bit - I wonder what Tricks something like Leverage would have? The only one that I can think of off the top of my head is something that'd let Abjorn hurl bigass shit at people. I wonder if he'd also be able to make himself heavy, which would most likely give him a defence buff if he was able to do so.
Throwing people at bigass shit.

I mean, by rights it should let you utterly dominate the wrestling competitions, you know?

Also, cracking open doors and whatnot.
 
just got here! 16 successes with 11 dice on reinforce shield? assuming that reward dice are just 1 dice thats amazing literally at least 5 double successes

Reward Dice can't fail (they effectively get 1 success on a 1-4, 2 successes on a 5-6), but are no more likely to get two successes than other dice. So yeah, that roll was utterly absurd. The Gods apparently support our endeavor in acquiring Reinforce and Hone for our children.

[X] Plan Raid The Manor

cant see our raid captain suggesting something he thinks is stupid idea and there is no better time to do it, we have the lowest heat, the most men, and the least exhaustion we will ever have during this raid

We might meet a single knight from the manor in town to slay them.
Which would weaken the manors defense.

I don't think we're raiding any of these specific things again. We're raiding one of them and then leaving...we may raid a Manor next turn, but it would not be this Manor, so I don't think this works. I actually agree that if we're gonna attack a Manor on this raid, now would be the time. I'm just not sure at all we should attack any Manors on this specific trip.

Halla and Abjorn are the cutest viking couple ever I swear

They are completely adorable, yes.

Cute couple.

The manor is interesting, but yeah, as much as the Felag is made up of good warriors, I still doubt we got what it takes to fight 3 knights with their squires as support/flanking.

Also poor beardless guy.... But I gotta wonder, is he the healer/skald of the group?
