Not quite, the Tribulation's going to be something that the Enemy amplifies because they can't let us have nice things.

Seems like the Akilla ship has set sail. Litterally!
Sorry not sorry.

I love it they'll be a cute couple!
And if Ironjaw's got a problem, we'll... Very slightly impair his march! Probably! Maybe it'll give Aki a round's head start to get on his birb and fly away!
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Undoubtedly.
We can probably be more than a speedbump to him. Not in a fight, obviously, but reintroducing him to his old friend Blackhand in the head of Steinarr's daughter sounds extremely distracting.

Still, all things considered, I was hoping to see Sagaseeker Forma Blanco here
Maybe we get a second update? This isn't exactly a major vote.
We haven't had all the voting options and thingies we normally get for planning the next turn yet, so yeah, I think that's intended for another update.
Also did Yule happen yet? I know this is technically the first turn of Summer, but I don't recall any celebrations or gift-giving happening this turn. (And I could have sworn someone said Aki was leaving just before Yule, but IDK.)

Yule is always in the first turn of a new year in this Quest, usually literally the first thing. And the saying goodbye to Aki was officially during Yule. There was presumably a party and presents but the emotional moment took center stage.

I honestly forgot Bram Ironjaw was Kolla's dad. Aki's kid(s) will be bigger than him lol!
[X] That it resumes its previous task
The new spells, for reference
High:
-Glowstone Spirit Trap: For this, you will need a chunk of glowstone, which serves as the anchor by which you bind a spiritual predator. By placing items that correspond with desired attributes next to the stone, you will then expose yourself to the Dark Forest. However, when a spirit matching those attributes approaches to take advantage of your apparent weakness, it will instead be sucked into the glowstone, as you will have carved and colored runes into the stone. When hostile spirits next approach your house, they will be attracted to the glow of the stone and will be sucked in as well. Either the original spirit will win the ensuing brawl, or you will have a new occupant in the stone. Only works on one spirit at a time.
Low: (unlearned)
-Doorway Ward: A spell that places a barrier around the doorway. When hostile spirits approach, they will find the door locked and barred even if otherwise appearing open.
-Identify Concept: A spell that quickly rifles through known things to identify what a potentially unknown thing is.
-Banishing Rebuke: A spell that forces hostile spirits and spells away by sheer power.

Thank you very much.
I'm feeling a bit exhausted today. Things just did not and are not lining up for an environment conducive to writing, unfortunately. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised I got this much out at all today.
Honestly man I think the your consistency and output with updates is like, pretty Herculean as things stand, I wouldn't sweat it too much.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yeah. An update a day, at the quality they've been at, sometimes more than one? That's ridiculously good by any standard.
@Imperial Fister the drinking horn is still listed in our Inventory
Hey Blackhand, can you take items out of someone else's Fylgja? Assuming they are restrained or willing

Did we give Aki the drinking horn to boost this further?

Yes, we did, which means he can at least cut out his worst trait for free.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
We did, yes.
His worst Trait from his perspective, yeah. Which, in fairness, if it really is Undersized for crappy Hamr, is probably his worst Trait mechanically as well. Could also be Blind, but I think that's actually less bad, both in reality and from his perspective?

Sigurdr is literally a Shounen main character.
Eyvor is Abjorn, if Abjorn had a happier home.
Steinarr is going to come over and just steal Hallbjorn from us.
I can just see it, Hallbjorn is with Steinarr's chicklets and Steinarr gets a flashback to long ago.
Oh my gods
It's a mini-Stigandr! And a mini Aki!

So, we've got a quiet stretch coming up, what do people want to get done?
I think it'd be cool if we aimed for one crafting project a turn, and made items for the whole "squad" over the next year or so. Obviously we're doing Abjorn's armour, but we could think of stuff for the rest of the gang.
Which I guess means to start with, @Imperial Fister, what arms and armour do Stigr, Stigandr, Tryygr and Trausti all own at the moment?

Iron's a gigantic bottleneck, and it's hard to get it in large quantities without spending actions. So armor's not really in the cards outside of Abjorn.
Even Abjorn, it's largely only working because we're using a lot of resonant materials in it too, which should hopefully let him extend some of his DR to his armor layer.
