I think the concern is that it's building to a reference to yellow cake uranium Which
is a precursor to the stuff you make nuclear weapons out of

Carbon Flour likely refers to the production of Forged Iron, ie IRL!steel, as opposed to Steel.

The worry comes from the idea that this isn't just normal carbon like you'd see with stuff like Bone Ash, that it might actually be the the thing that makes Steel steel, not irl!steel.
Yup, why I think using it like boneash with bog Iron would be interesting (-> Forged Iron)

Would it really be against the law to tell us how Forged Iron is made? The fact is we'd need to get Bog Iron from them anyways and the Carbon Flour would run out eventually so it's not like we would make super bank off of it if that was the case.
Isn't Bog Iron available from human sources too?
And if carbon flour is just carbon dust, we could make our own.
And I think the dwarves learned their lesson about sharing any secret with humans.

Yes. it's a dwarf monopoly it would be like an pharmaceutical company giving up an insulin patent it just isn't going to happen.

Yes. The Dwarves have a monopoly on Forged Iron and want to maintain it. I'm sure it would be very against Dwarven Law to allow humans to learn how to make it.
And Bog Iron is readily available from lots of places, not just the Dwarves.

Me and Deadman have thrown this together for the runes on the second attempt for a 2x dice for Standstill, but aren't quite happy with it. Anyone else got some ideas for it? Its currently a chain we tie the person up in and then they try and escape.

Isn't it canon that simpler runes are better? Or am I reading too far into the Crowfeeder reveal?

Not strictly, and the Runes need to actually say what you want them to do. That wording would just freeze in place things caught by it...no training involved.
Ofteb when making training items we want something thats opposed to what we are training, making it harder to use the Hugareida and thus making training more effective. So what about a Standstill training item thats based on something falling or something with strong Inertia? For example, a weight we need to stop from falling.
Another idea, can we make a wand with runes and stuff that is useful to channel our ranged attacks and amplify them in some ways?

That was the intent with the sphere...I'm not sure how to do that version that's super different from that one.
Plausibly yes, but it's probably not worth it in combat given the uses of having a weapon available. We likely still want one, but it's not a super high priority.
RIght now it might not be super worth it but if we improve with armory pockets and can switch more easily, could be really useful
- Pronouns
- He/Him
There's no guarantee that improving our Armory Pockets makes switching easier. Our current trick allows rapid drawing of things but no switching, and the armor pocket upgrade we're aware of allows armor instead of just weapons...neither is indicative that item swapping is available in that way. It might be possible, but we shouldn't count on it until we get more Armory Pockets working and actually see it happening.

I remember asking (or remember someone asking) Blackhand how he felt about revealing himself to Steinarr a while back now that we can take care of ourself. I can't remember his answer but I'm thinking it'd be good to do it soon. Steinarr already suspects something's up.

Cultivation, Crafting, and General Ideas Folder
So, a day or so late, but I made this to be a compilation post for various ideas we have for research and projects we'd like to do. This is intended so that everyone can contribute, and right now it's a bit thin in places, so if you have an idea you'd like added in, then tag me or @DeadmanwalkingXI and we'll add it in! Help us fill this up with stuff!
In terms of format, I've put ideas in spoilers so that it is easier to quickly scan through. Where applicable, the spoiler box contains a quote of the post where someone proposed the idea. The titles of the spoilers are intended to be short and descriptive, and I've roughly grouped them by theme. The way this is organised now seemed like the best way for quick readability to me, but obviously that can be amended based on experience and everyone's feedback.
When ideas get researched or we get an answer from Fister or whatever, I'll move them to the archival section in another spoiler box at the bottom.
Some opposition to using the witch's bones, with ravens proposed as an alternative.

Soulscape
Miscellaneous
Stoker state... and "stoking" Aspects... HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS
Crafting
Arms and Armour
We make our own version of Knightly Armour - ideally not just the plate, but the spiritual construct which inhabits it.
Architecture
We make a cool sauna and put some runes on it.
Farming
We feed our bees Odr infused honey, making them True Cultivator Bees, and then they... cultivate more Odr-Honey??
Other Crafts
Can we enchant a ship so that it flies through the sky?? Big if true!

This is a really good idea, good job Skippy!
Regarding last chapter, i think we should soon visit the Troll Cave. First we could try talking with the Troll, so we can potentialy gain progress in Speaking Out Of Law. If it dosen't work we can always fight and kill the Troll anyway.
Who knows, maybe we can make the Troll pay the rent for living on our land?

We could still metion it to a couple of our guys, or just inform the headsman.

But in that way we can't make progress in Speaking Out of Law.
...wasn't the plan to make stuff to our huskarls?
and why the hell are we spending every action on crafting, instead of other stuff?
Edit: Also, wasn't the sauna deemed as a cosmetic that can be done anytime?
