Logistics note after discussions with IF on Discord:

We additionally gain 300 Food total and 50 oz. of Bog Iron for each crewman (would've been more Iron and less food if divisions were even, but we swapped some Iron to Farbjorn's crew to get all the Food).

I would like to say that I did try to at least have us look at getting quired stone in Winchester but were going back there so we'll have another chance.

We actually never got the chance to do any shopping there, but yeah, it's on the list now. After magic plants and agricultural stuff. Additional Food would also not go amiss...we have enough now, but who doesn't want more Food?
 
Anyway! Just as an update!

Vagn has gotten enough Reward Dice that he's definitely going to get better!

Hugehands needs 4 more Reward Dice to be Perfectly Safe--I personally think it would be a big flex to bring everyone home after this trip, but ultimately, everyone's dice belongs to themselves! The best I can do is keep people posted and just keep going 'Wouldn't it be cool if...'
 
Having lots of squared-off stone in your home would be prohibitively difficult for real world Norse unless you're a king or something, but with Cultivating Norse it's probably just a pain in the ass because you have to be really careful how you punch the chisel and pinch the extra bits off the rocks.

Or you develop a sharpen like trick that can sharpen away the parts of the stone you want cut.
we also have that dwarwen chise and hammer combo as well, so that helps a lot, even if we need to work at night/in the relative dark.

@Imperial Fister just to make sure.... both treatise is in English, right?

I guess it depends on whether it's Cultivating Rock that punches back.

I am chosing Frisian, simply because we will have ample opportunity to learn/loot bulgarian when we go to the Byzantian empire in another life.

Also, because Frisians are closer to us anyways.

We also aren't likely to encounter any Frisians unless we go looking for them contrasting the Bulgarians who if we go to Constantinople we will absolutely have to fight because they and the Byzantines had a very unpleasant relationship.
 
I chose Bulgarian because we are unlikely to meet them in this life. We can learn abaout Frisian Cultivation in this life with way less effort, information on Bulgarian Cultivation will be harder to find.
 
That's exactly my point. He's arguing for Bulgarian on the basis we'll use that next life and I was presenting a counterargument.
ah, my bad, i thought he was arguing FOR the Frisian one too.
I chose Bulgarian because we are unlikely to meet them in this life. We can learn about Frisian Cultivation in this life with way less effort, information on Bulgarian Cultivation will be harder to find.
But what reason would we have to learn about the Bulgarians when we will, at most, only go as far as the Frisians in this life?
We will go through both land on the way to Constantinople most likely, yes, but it will be that, passing through.
The Byzantines, on the other hand, will definitely have record on the Bulgarians if they are enemies, which we can learn in the libraries or just loot from a Bulgarian castle/fort on a raid.
 
What value do we get from the frisian cultivation knowledge that we dont get from the bulgarian?
Both give knowledge about a foreign cultivation system, so why is the frisian one more usefull?
 
Well, I don't see us fighting the Holy Roman Empire.

But do you know who I do see us fighting?
