Mmmmm, fair enough I guess!
It is certainly cool to be able to say you went on your first sailing expedition at one year old.

I don't think we need to take a bunch of Top/Upper Top/etc people, unless we expect a big fight during this trip? It seems to be a smaller scale thing, personal family business and some peaceful trade, and since we are bringing a ton of kids around we probably aren't gonna divert like last time to raid a castle.

So, yeah, I think this?
[X] Take them with you
-[X] This includes our little brothers, and Randi if she wants to come
I think those are covered in Sten bringing people, but just to make sure.
[X] Plan Bring Everyone
-[X] Bring everyone who showed up.
-[X] Of our own people, Kurt and Haydis are staying home to take care of things on the farm (with a request from us for Halfdan to look in occasionally), we bring the rest.
Our siblings are bringing their kids, so we should as well, and all these people seem fine? I'm not seeing anyone who is gonna be a problem.
EDIT:
Violence can always happen. Better to have powerful backup and not need it, than need it and not have it. They know this is a trading mission and a funeral, they chose to come along anyway, I see no reason to turn them down. Especially since they might find that weird and insulting...like, why would we not bring them? Doesn't make sense to me. They have as much right to trade goods for currency and vice versa as anyone.
Also:
Halle has hit Upper Middle. Go him.

That's fair, yeah. I guess we are telling them this is mostly for trading and funeral purposes, so they're the ones who volunteered despite probably being able to find a good raid.
That makes sense to me!

Come to think of it, Njal the Tall. We know now that progressing through Norse cultivation makes you taller. Wonder if he's an Odr cultivator too. Probably not, since Halla would've probably noticed last expedition, but it would be a logical explanation that isn't just 'he just is.'
You know, could put the wisdom into poems and spread those.
And add literacy to the things we teach our kids n followers/friends.

Yeah, I suspect some of them may be disappointed if this is uneventful, mind you, as they're joining based on stories of the last one...but we are telling them what the trip's about.
Kennings can have physical effects. It might just be that. He got called 'the tall' for being, like 7' without Giant's Blood and then he just kept growing until he was 8'6" or whatever he is.

Well, we could maybe do a little bit of fighting on the way back, as a treat.

Huh. These three are listed twice, once in Lower Middle, then again in Middle. I'm guessing they're meant to all be in Middle, having improved?

Supposed to be in Lower Middle, I believe. They were in Upper Bottom before, right?
- Pronouns

No, those three were Lower Middle last time. The only person from our last expedition who was in Upper Bottom who has survived until now was Audman. The other three (not these three, to be clear, other people) all died in the Revenge Raid.

Hey Halla do you have any idea of what qualifies as an anchor for a Ring Martial Style?

I do not think the rest of the crew would thank us for bringing this guy along in tight quarters on a sea voyage.

We just won't bring his cheese with us. Easy fix.

Bold of you to assume that we can keep a man who is literally named Stink-Cheese from bringing stinky cheese along with us.
But then, what are the Norse if not bold?

He stores stinky cheese in his Fylgja.

Even if we can what if the Kenning makes it linger?Bold of you to assume that we can keep a man who is literally named Stink-Cheese from bringing stinky cheese along with us.

More seriously I'm confident there are some tricks to keep a ship from smelling all that bad

If he had a Fylgja, it'd probably be mentioned. Few people do, so it's notable.
We have Sailwind and Scouring Cleanse. We can make him clean and fresh smelling by force if we have to.

True. It was more a joke than any actual guessing.

I really like to believe that the cheese is a key part of his fighting style.
The man has a Blue Cheese Hugareida.
