I suspect it's more complicated than that, but doing something (concentrating or distilling, maybe?) with a whole bunch of Odr is definitely high on the suspect list.

[X] Talk to them first, let's see if they can understand Norse.

I wonder if becoming a Jarl will be needed at some point in the cultivation process?
So far it seems that Cultivation in general is based on internalizing the external world. Converting external power into internal. Our Orthsirr is ours but not really, but Odr is genuinely and truly ours.

Probably not. Like, it'd be helpful, but not necessary. I don't think Blackhand was a Jarl, for instance.

Oh it can do both ; )
It returns to normal rolling once you leave the depths, but lost hamingja does not.

So does permanently turning to stone if you're touched by sunlight.
It is possible to counteract this, same as how dwarves are able to go out in the sun if they've got some kind of cover.

We might want to do that then. We have a route now, heading back up, getting some sun, then heading directly in the direction the Troll-Men came from seems valid.

Ah, finally! Some demonstration of the advantages of platemail!
Now, Halla has reason to try it!
Do we need pestici- Oh, walls.
Yeah okay that makes sense.....
Gods it looks obvious in hindsight, you do need to mark your territory from the wilderness, after all.
Ah, this little trip is full of gains already!
And more will come *rubs hands*
Hey ca- I see Shard already asked it. Nice.
Does locking someone in the dark (underground) counts as a cruel and unusual punishment?
....if they dwell deep, why are they here, I wonder? Should ask our dwarf friends, if there is something funny going on deep down, aside from the lurkaling war.
.... Is dragon heart blood the panacea/snake oil thats good for everything and cures all ills?

So, they have a lot of meat, but we can probably cut a deal with surface food....
The companionship is a bit risky though, if they take that offer for a long term one....

This isn't a plate armor thing, it's a Knight Armor thing. You need actual magic to get through it. Specifically, in our fight vs. the Squire attacks involving less than 7 Orthstirr auto-failed...that number probably varies based on power level and I dunno what Gabriel's number is specifically, but if it's more than zero (and it is), Troll-Men can't do it.
Any plate armor we made would be good, even very good, but it wouldn't do that without a bunch of magic we don't have the first clue how to do added on top.

It could just be like Damage Reduction: 2, something we could duplicate by having 2x Thickened Skin.

Plate Armor we make? I doubt it. It's much more likely be just like Mail Armor only better (higher health, higher defense bonus). We could probably get some damage reduction via magic, though, at least in theory.
