Sounds like there's quite a story behind that.

Hmm, the whole thing about stasis makes me come back to the idea of a sun in the soulscape. Though apparently it's night that's the issue, not day. 🤔 Regardless, it seems Halla is eyeing the stasis as something unnatural that might need to be fixed to fully realize the soulscape. And sunlight is what powers a real-world ecosystem - it creates wind, the water-cycle and so on. Maybe both a sun spirit and moon spirit, to give day/night cycles?

Hey @Imperial Fister can this be done if someone is awake?
If so could this be a way around Disclosure as a form of trail? Give someone a taste of Odr and with minimal hints and certain obstacles, like making your own farm plot, have them figure out cultivation this way?

Seeress said it will just naturally close. It's base state is closed so the issue is trying to open it.

Seems more like the gate closes itself, which makes me think the gate itself wants to be used, and the killing part might be the Enemy propping it open the first time.

A Muna (memory) is a special memory. A memory that has some effect on you. One of the effects observed is gaining or strengthening a Hugareida.
A Hugareida (minds oath) is your understanding of some area. An understanding deep enough to allow you to use tricks of that area (and when strengthening makes those tricks better).
Last time Shopping later meant others bought better offers before us. Unless we fear Audrik leaves we should shop first then talk later (even if I'm really looking forward to the Audrik Talk).
Remember when a worry in the thread was that the hearthroot would take Odr every turn?
Looks Like those worries simply were a bit early.
Wait, isn't her saying the Gate wants to remain closed the thing the Enemy influenced here? Don't we know it wants to remain open because Blackhand had to forcibly close it?

That might be case were it not for the fact he only influenced a single word, not the info after, so from what we can tell, the rest of the info is stuff she's seen. I'm under the Impression what happened with Blackhand was the enemy cheating.

Maybe the word "closed" is inaccurate for some reason? 🤔

Hmm.. It kind of looks like The Enemy's censoring is kind of indiscriminate. If we had learned Odr from the Seeress this would have been intended to prevent us from learning Odr to do anything more than Seidr. Unless there's something more to it, is our ability to detect undertone tied to Charred Soul, something anyone could have heard, something only Odr Cultivators could have heard?
Could it be that at the 9th stage of cultivation you leave The Gate permanently open, or somesuch..?

Fair. Vote changed:
[X] Go shopping!
-[X] Start with looking for things to decorate Abjorn's armor with
Wasn't that just the narrative explanation for our low roll?
[X] Talk to Audrikr and play a game of tafl while you're at it
Is that a one time food for Odr trade, or harvest and regrow later?
Hmm...
Should have on of our Huskarls try it.
And then give an explicit order to them and the weapon to do something (Like "strike at the air")
Time to give Ask and Embla their Odr!
Him needing to Wildfire/Firestorm the seeds away seems to be a realistic threat.
OK, looks like awakened Sagaseeker is more Charming than the unawajened version. Liking him so far, lets see If it keeps.
Looks like they are having fun.
Sad that it didn't Work with Drifa... well they are similar in amount of commonsense.
Good Progress.
Maybe we just need more training with it (vague Idea rather that formalized trick learned to competency), maybe there is something missing.
Obvious so far left to try:
Also try it with an enemy trick like KS, to ensure there isn't something special about those (could work normally, could be a competing diceroll, proximity could affect a theoretical competing diceroll)
Do a "Carrier(galespear) + main Trick (SB)" combo and try to put them both in one string, like baubles in a necklace, to control them together.
Sounds interesting, maybe we should take a lesson on options to get an idea for initial recipes.
And in your soulspace!

The property of Odr itself changes when you filter it with Orthsirr. Possibly only your specific Orthsirr.
Odr Soulshock is almost, almost, like the method to conduct True Cultivation. But where True Cultivation is 27 Orthsirr per Odr, Odr Soulshock is 81 Orthsirr per Odr - possibly because it is someone else.
Man, imagine if the Seeress found out that we have enough Odr in our soul to explode it many times over. She would go ballistic.

True Cultivation involves weaving your Aspects together and creating a Soulscape that can accept Odr. Soulshock is just flooding a body with the raw power without any preparation, so you likely need the extra Orthsirr in order to counteract that.
Also I imagine the Seeress would be very surprised. And even more surprised when a horde of rampaging monsters destroyed the tent and both of us.

Well,
Bling for Abjorn of course.
We did come here to chat with Audrikr.
Kyrsvikingr politics would be next
and that's all the 3 timeslots we normally get >.<
If we still have timeslots, uhh
Probably talk with Gary Tuskpuncher. Get magic items.
Headman's Felag would be last place, probably.

Do norsemen get cold, or is even false cultivation enough to protect from that?
Because I'm imagining clothing with little pockets of heated hearthroot oil in the lining.

They clearly get cold, yeah, though it takes more of it to actually kill them. After all, enough cold to freeze a mortal to death is sort of definitionally 1 Endurance damage.
