We could probably craft something for them. Halla's a decent enough crafter to get stuff like that or do some Seidr work for them at cost.

You could also challenge them to a fight over it, if so desired. Would be a dick move (not nid or odrengskapr, just a move that generates animosity) as if they declined the challenge the father/whoever you challenged would eat nid.
Exactly ;P

A proxy might be best, honestly. We did kill a member of the family. We can set something up given a little networking, though. I wonder what proxy would be best to send?
We just finished the last blood feud, I'd rather not start another. Sure, this is a more minor matter than killing someone, but it might enflame tensions to the point where we need to kill someone and that'd be bad.

Nice idea! If we can we could talk to him about this while in Asvir. If we need a full social for it we might need to put it off slightly since I think next turn we should do another playdate...I'd like to do one of those a season if we can.

Arguably, the Owl is picking up discarded things that no longer possess an owner. That's certainly true of the Straw-Guy, and it being true of the others is very plausible...all have been, like, consumables, the sort of thing someone might lose one of and not go on a major quest to get it back.

For all we know our owl is challenging other fylgjas to honorable combat before robbing them.

If we're going to Asvir, I'm hoping we can talk to Folkmarr.
Also, is it possible to have the Shadowbear Pelt be part of Abjorn's Realized Armor, without like, taking up one of the 3 magic option slots for the Shadowbear (I guess we can mechanically still pay out the bling normally)? Because it would look cool.
e: This is if we're planning on using the Shadowbear for the book, to be clear.

The plan is to primarily talk with Audrikr, but probably?
I would also like to do this, and will add it to the plan now that you've mentioned it. EDIT: And added.

Basically, the Bear has 3 magic uses. We used one with the heart being eaten, bone-ash for the armour is a second one, and then theres one use left that is still magic. We can take bits of it for stuff without magic benefits no problem.

It was very nice to write it. A solid break from the shenanigans going on otherwise
You know these monsters (frenzy) fit the 'wolf' archetype of monster, but Gleb didn't get a good look at them to determine exact type before scampering off to warn the Headsman. So, you could get all manner of beastie powers from this, if you're lucky!
Though, only the strongest of wolf monster will be fit to eat the heart of. After all, you don't want a runt's heart do you?
That's an interesting saying

Only Sterki is—and also Leif, I suppose—but Leif is probably being going to be initiated into the Kyrsvikingar via nepotism and Sterki is recieving Steinarr's proper education regimen.
You can specify which you're focusing on, I suppose, and that'll do it
Yeah, swapping now would just be weird as we're, like, 3/5ths of the way through my immediate plans for Halla's story.

The quench in blood/quench in oil will impact our future decisions to craft stuff. We should do them this turn, then put in a conditional for the Armor to incorporate those ideas if the results are positive/useful.

The Strawman can recognize Charred Soul and Blackhand.
Speaking of which @Imperial Fister what do you think of this idea, at least the spirit behind it?
To me, the idea of weapons simply adding to all actions where they are relevant (instead of adding to your combat pool) solves several issues:
1) The mechanical requirement to have backup weapons, for combat dice if nothing else. If weapons add directly to actions, then backup weapons aren't obligatory. Nice to have as a backup, yes.
2) Weapons not really being all that impactful. A warrior with a T8 weapon against a warrior with a T1 weapon will find that, especially towards the mid or higher levels, that the impact of the weapon isn't much if at all.
If so, there are several formulations that could implement this idea:
1) Instead of +1d/tier, it's +1 to relevant actions per tier
2) It's +1d/2 tiers to relevant actions
And so forth. Basically weapons would work like Frenzy or a developed Hugareida. A T8 weapons giving +8 to all attacks would be significant and powerful, enough to be decisive in an otherwise even match.

For the record, while I like this idea there are a few important knock-on effects to keep in mind. Particularly, how it effects dual-wielding. If you just add the two numbers together for dual wielding, then it becomes almost obligatory, and if you only use whichever is making the attack, dual wielding becomes useless absent very specific stuff. This isn't an unsolvable problem at all, but it is one in need of a solution if implementing something like this.
One solution is that a dedicated two-handed weapon gets 1.5 times the normal bonus and off-hand weapons get half the normal bonus rounded up (which would mean shields give at least +1, which isn't bad), but other solutions are possible.

I figure a dual-wielding weapon is a 'single' weapon for purposes of calculating bonuses? That seems the simplest to me.
There's some other good solutions, we can go with D&D-style 'Separate, but Dual-Wielders get an extra attack per round to compensate', for example (they *are* giving up Hugareida and Shields to Dual-Wield, after all..)

Shields are good, as is having a hand free, so dual wielding (and, to a lesser extent using a weapon two-handed...if it effectively allows off-hand hugareida use the same as having a free hand it might need less) needs something to make it viable as an alternative to those. It doesn't have to be huge, and may even require specific stuff to be good, but there should be a solid reason to do it.
Yeah, there's definitely other implementations. Actually, wait, I have a great idea: Rather than giving bonuses to rolls your option for weapon choice gives an ancillary bonus about equivalent to a shapeshift slot:
Two-handed weapon: +1 Damage with the weapon
Weapon + Shield: -1 incoming damage (probably replaces shield Endurance, though you can likely still burn your shield to cancel a Trick), prevents some Hugareida use.
Two Weapons: +1 Attack Speed, prevents some Hugareida use
One Handed Weapon + Free Hand: This one is hardest. Maybe +1 Attack Speed with Hugareida only?
That makes Two-Handed pretty solid all-around, Two Weapons better than one for people without Hugareida attacks, One-Handed better for people heavily relying on Hugareida attacks, and Weapon + Shield being great defensively and can transition to One Handed easily. Maybe that's too fiddly though? I dunno.
