It would be a pretty big deal if the Seeds respawn every year, as it means we can use them for.. well, potentially anything.
The progression for plants looks like 3/6/9, although of course it's possible that more advanced plants have more stages or more cost, presumably in exchange for better results.

They give +1 fire damage when eaten, and their oil provides +1 fire resistance when covered.

Interesting. Very interesting. And yeah, we should max out the Sealwood as well since it's affordable to do so.

+1 Fire Damage for one combat round, which isn't a lot, but presumably we can concentrate them with the Brewing Pockets.
EDIT: Aren't you glad I nagged you about investing in this Deadman?

Hearthberries double fire damage for a round

We reached the third tier of Stoker State, btw so we can now spend 9 Orthstirr per turn to get 3 stoked dice per basic attack.

The Hearthberries give +1 Damage to all Fire Hugareida tricks in the round you eat them, and the Oil Fronds can be used as Fire Resistance Oil (reduces incoming fire damage by 1).
Halla is probably also thinking of the other uses of, well, oil.

Wait, is that new? A new effect thanks to maxing it out and it being 'Mature' now instead of just eating them before they're ripe?

Yeah, it definitely worked out. I'm also very glad I specified 'until it's done' rather than just dumping in 18 points all at once.
As others have already pointed out this seems to be a change. Is there a reason for that?

Blaze of Glory sounds hella a lot like Blackhand. Maybe that's why Blackhand and Ironjaw became friends? Also sounds like a Berserker type style, too.
lol
That sounds like exactly what we were looking for.
Next step: enemy tricks and non-trick projectiles.
If that works:
Great Combo with Inertias persistent perfect defense trick.
And we can try teaching it to Drifa (first Recall, then this) to give her something that may makr up for her 11/100 ranged aptitude If she needs to hit enemies outside melee range.
!
The effect can be passed on?
Thats new!
Well, Unbeding Time in the Sun can Deal with that!
...
Aaand it isn't selected.
We could be conservative and plant the second hearthberry in our soul, too.
Then the seed is used and next year change we see If it regrows.
If not its just 18 Odr to finish the newly planted hearthroot to get another seed.
That's pretty expensive just to get a new hearthroots seed. We'll see if planting a hearthroot seed outside we'll progress through the stages regularly.

Our selected stuff is our 'walking around' selections, we can mess with them for a spar (or other specific planned activity) as long as it's part of the first turn's plan. So we can swap things out for Unending Time In The Sun if we want.
We did this with both our shapeshifts and capacity stuff for the Gabriel spar, for instance.

Kind of against the spirit of giving him a chance to see how his shadow magic works.
I'm actually a bit leery about our current setup, we've each got around 18 effective Endurance, and no Armor to absorb some damage, yet we're specced for killing the hell out of things.

But there's no way that will help with making our soulscape better. And it will also double our supply of Hearthroot Berries and also fronds.

Our walking around selection is actually only +2 damage on Ignition. We usually swap it to +4 on hard targets (and did for the Gabriel spar), and maybe should go for that in general starting, like, next turn (as the dice are less needed if we're gonna be doing Basic Attacks and using Sharpen more often), but right now our Kindle Spinners are 6 damage-ish, and our Firebomb Strikes are 6-8.

Worstcase (seed doesn't regrow, we fail to get a seed outside of our Soul):
That locks us out of planting more and of passing it on.
Not very likely, but much worse than 18 Odr (one turn cultivating).

Wait. @Imperial Fister why did we gain 17 Food? My own calculations say we should have gained 9, I think? (26 gained, 14 expended for people, 3 for Trade Deal). Did we get another 8 from our Soulscape?
Also, in terms of character sheet errors:
1. Dead Air does not have successes listed after it, it should have 2.
2. In our Soulscape, our 10 normal Pockets are listed with a cost of 110 rather than 100. Our actual Orthstirr numbers are correct, but this specific line needs to be fixed.

Alright, I'm finally caught up! This has been a really fun read so far.
On the matter of our spirit farms, I wonder if we can dig irrigation trenches from our Odr crater to automatically "water" our crops so we don't have to spend an action doing so. Also, the healing water from the spring in the Hading may be a valid brewing ingredient. Or we could combine a hearthroot berry with sealwood sap to make magic napalm, which is a bit warcrime-y, but potentially quite effective.
