Not sure what this is for, but I'll take it!
"Halla invented Christmas" is probably in the top 10 wildest things posted in this thread.

Oh man, I want more of AbjornQuest. I feel like they rolled multiple nat-100s on the events for generating/statting out his main love interest, and the salt from them being the housewife would be hilarious!

Wholesome House-Husband Quest, i would absolutely read that.

Most of his turns end up being child-rearing and management, while his Gigachad Wife casually forges Wonders, drapes him in Glorious Raiment at his asking, breaks his hips nightly, out-riddles Jotnar, and slaughters berserkers.
And she still gets all melty when he wipes away a smudge of ash from her cheek, looks into her eyes, and tells her that she looks lovely.

Honestly he's not any more domestic than she is, for the most part. Halla is probably more impressive, but that's purely in combat. Their roles around the farm are fairly traditional, although she throws in smithing on top of her other household stuff, I suppose. He definitely does the lion's share of the actual farming, which is the expected role of men in Norse society, while she cooks, cleans, and makes clothing. She does other stuff and so does he, but their gender roles are pretty standard in terms of day to day tasks.
Except, as mentioned, for the fighting. She does far more than her expected share of that. But that's a 'getting overshadowed in a fight' issue, not a 'he's just a househusband' issue. Whole different thing.

@Imperial Fister, what about the training that you left pending? Was it resolved offscreen, or is it waiting for the next update?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
The training has been resolved. We got the following:
Chop 4-5
Silver-Tongue 4-5
Thermic Reckoning (Refined-Mastered)
Contested Movement (Refined-Mastered)
Effort Gauge (Refined-Mastered)
Light Touch (Rough-Refined)
Contention-Connection (Rough-Refined)
Brazier Bomb (Vague-Rough)
Owl-Eye Pulse (Vague-Rough)
I'm not sure the Fylgja Trick is quite what we were looking for, but all the rest seems good.

Maybe with the Fylgia trick, try a few more times to get a passive version and if we can't just bite the bullet at grind one up to Perfect and have the owl look out our eyes and just spam the thing
- Pronouns
- He/Him
We can specify passive next time, though it may be a minute if we want to boost Hamr. I don't regret this one but I think we probably leave it at Rough, at least for now.
Another Fylgja Trick suggested was the Cindersooth Owl leaving a trail of flaming fethers and making them rain on the enemies.
yeah retiring Halla straight away just feels narratively wierd. she has too many arcs that are still ongoing and has lots of places to grow. I'd say not before the war arc
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I mean, our Fylgja can use our Perfected Tricks already, including Kindle Spinner, which can have a very similar effect. I'm thus not sure this is worth the xp, to be honest. Spiritual perception stuff, which we otherwise lack, is a much better investment, I think.
If we resolve the Vestfold stuff and our revenge for Steinarr first, the war arc becomes...impersonal, and I wouldn't feel it necessary. If we need it to take revenge, well, that's another matter entirely.

I would feel safer if our Fylgja had at least one offensive Trick, but i agree is not a priority. Spiritual stuff is more important at the moment. We could still ask Solrun abaout Fylgja Tricks, i am sure she knows many useful things.
I am sure new plotlines and revelations will happen to keep us invested in the story. What happens after the War Arc we will see.
I really don't agree. the war is what everything is preparing for rn, its the grand event looming in the horizon. for every norse warrior participating in that is a very big thing. and its her chance to go big one last time before retiring. the other option is to go through the war with a still young and weak protagonist too which is another problem
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I mean, I highly doubt our revenge on Steinarr's actual killers will be completed before then, so it's sort of an academic debate. I expect the war to be the final arc as Halla one way or another, I was just noting that the personal element was why I felt that way more than anything.

Slight issue is that the Norse Holy Trees are Ash and Elm, which does not look like the Fig tree in the slightest.
btw can we try alloying kennings with stuff? I suspect not but its not impossible.
on another hand, do we wanna advance the twists research?

breath is the key and there is a metallic aftertaste on breath out, huh?
And its and inherited style...
Hey, @Imperial Fister when people eat the heart/something else for power, do they automatically know everything about the powers they get and how to use them?
Because, that focus on breath and the mountain of metal... Did we awaken something from Fafnir?
You forgot the dragon
...Fucking timezones...
I just hope you didn't offer ALL of it. that carbon flour was the key to get unlock forged iron refinement.
Well, onto the second update...
Gotta check the discord for more info then
But you could always just paste it to share with those not in there.
Whew, not all is lost!
Thank you for your generosity!
He would need to get hands first. blade limbed, remember?
If we must do crafting next turn, we could make him a hand? the bonus action could be for Dori's contract.
A Style from Steinar that he himself didn't have? well, he DID go on a pretty big journey...
Wait... Steinar could have learned Blazing glory, a style that needs the user to throw themselves into the middle of battle...
Or one of the other stlyes Ironjaw has, perhaps? We do know that steelfathers are "bigger than life", and so, Ironjaw being the mountain of metal makes sense.
As for something from Gotland... i have no idea.

I mean, it's not on Discord, but when you can buy Forged Iron and Carbon Flour isn't for sale, the latter is obviously more valuable than the former. Like, massively so.Gotta check the discord for more info then
But you could always just paste it to share with those not in there.
Edit: As implied by the current deal, 1 Pot of Carbon Flour is, like, 600 oz Forged Iron.
