We have the ability to set up up to 6 Workshops for different crafts at a time, so I think we can pretty readily set up one for her with no real trouble.

She has that sorted out as well (being able to fly makes such matters very simple)

Honestly, considering Steinarr's uncreativity and Abjorn's dad only ever teaching him the physical side of things, I have to wonder how most adults survive without some lateral thinking, which is how we've been doing so good.

Most of them don't take on people of quite the caliber we regularly have been. Halla is a bit of an overachiever.

Wait with Halla's dad dead what's gonna happen with Gabriel's vendetta? Sorry if this has already come up, I mostly focused on reading the updates to catch up.

Ideally he gives it up, but from a Norse perspective I believe the grudge would fall on us.

Best case, he's able to reconcile with it. Worst case I can see, the rage from not being able to complete it messes up his cultivation, since Wrath is one of the deadlies.

He probably gives it up. He never transferred it to us. The funniest version is that he blames the killers for denying him his shot and goes for them.

Circa the war with Rogaland: "Hey Gabriel, want to go fuck up the people who hired a bunch of guys to kill Steinarr before you could?"
Inviteing the raid also very much leaves open the option, that the food raid caused this.
A plausible story (even with the secret extra we know) with some political speculation by Corpsemaker.
And Dorri has a bunch of thralls for politicking with.
Like, how freaking many are that after a "noone in torture squad gets out easy" request is honored? Still 100+, right?
How many families could be influenced by having promises of their fighters being returned.
What we do?
How about strengthening the Dorri faction, get the mood from the neutrals, convince people to shift?
Talk to Folkmarr.Vaguely talk about the political situation.. Teach him how valuable having a competent Seeress was for Dorris force, mention teaching Seid by rote memorization and basic healing + ressurection, what a massive difference it makes in multi-engagement battles. Maybe drop hints at secret knowledge kept as privilege of Steelfathers and the like and how it is cursed against telling other people, mention that knowing to weave may not be as unmanly as general culture believes. Maybe mention how becoming steel is going against "All men must die", how only memory is permanent, how becoming steel MUST have a price.
I.e. give him some directly useful knowledge and plant seeds for him to become anti steel.
Can we offer her some Odr for her experiments?

Is there any way for us to gain one apple peel to turn into soul-mead?

Noooooooo.
Do not do anything with the golden apples.
Halla does not want to be a Volsung pregnancy.

Good to hear that Steinarr enjoyed the seeds.
Perhaps next time we go to one of the halls we can send him more!
Man, Corpsemaker is full of shit. still surprising that he is younger than Dori. Just what did he do to become a steelfather so young? (just wondering, no serious question)
@Imperial Fister As for the questions...
How do teaching the kids what Steinarr knew will play out? Like, we tell stories to them or do they get bonus dice to sword skills, fire tricks and fyjgla stuff?
Will they know have an easier time with the greenthumb hugreida?
Does this mean we get 2 owl gatcha this winter?
Did the Halding sent any present to Steinarr's pyre?
Was Lidrun anywhere near?
What happened with the heartleaf that Buri was growing?
Does Solrun takes a look whats going on with Aki and Kolla? And if yes, are they doing well?
How long before Blackhand is back?
And yeah, as Shard asked, what happened to Folkmar and his band?

If this is true, we should 100% stay vigilant for anyone who has a lead an some enthralled monk who we can manumit in exchange for their freedom.
@Imperial Fister, for a reward dice, could we roll this into what we're doing this turn?

I don't think we're that kind of slave trading destination, people would come to buy, not sell, and only for a little while.
I'm down for the "buy->learn Latin->free them" thing if it's possible, mind you, I'm just doubtful.
Sure, which is why I said "a lead".
People travelling across a distance to buy slaves are quite much more likely to know about where slaves are sold in the area, giving us a location for our trading/ashes depositing trip next year. They may even be able to act as a middleman and arrange a sale, although for narrative reasons I'd expect that is less likely.
The main difficulty will be resisting the urge to kill them for long enough, given how odious slave traders are, but hopefully we'll power through.
I mean, no need to figure it out ourselves, at least not without any guidance. I am willing to be Solrun knows A LOT about Fylgja development and usage. Maybe we can social with her next turn? Also thank her for helping Steinnar spend his last few days in Clarity.
Solrun is also likely best candidate for Halla's general teacher, the way Steinnar was. She is the best person to have advising us on most subjects we are dealing with.

We can social with her, but she's not available for teaching, so most she can do is just suggest something for us to work out ourselves.
Oh sure. But thats still super valuable. Her advice on Fylgja, or Seidr, or many other stuff we wanna try is really helpful. Heck, even on Hugareida she can advise us most likely, at least until Blackhand is back. She was his olver after all and is very experienced generally.
Honestly just her being there as support is good. She is the only parent/mentor figure Halla has left, and though we shouldnt burden her with our problems(Idunn knows she has plenty or her own), its still good to have her.
Come summer, if we can spare the time, we really should try and advance our Seidr and seer training. If we can be a fully fledged seer or close by Vestfold, it will be great

Fair enough. We could ask around if the opportunity presents itself.
Our next step there is actually figuring out the portal spell on our own, which is on the list for Winter projects, I think. We definitely want to qualify as a full Seer by Vestfold if we can arrange it.

Yooo, just caught up!
What an amazing quest, @Imperial Fister!
Respect for the consistent and frequent updates, and well written and full of amazing inspiration and twists to boot ^^
I'll definitely be following, though probably not voting much, after all I'm a lurker in my heart of hearts.

if we can manage to do the portal spell by winter(which I think is likely though obviously not assured) we should put some action and training for developing our seer stuff with Solrun. I really wanna learn some combat Seidr, for one.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I'm not sure Solrun knows any more combat seidr than we have right now, though we can ask. When we discussed it with Blackhand, he basically said that was Skald stuff, and while I'm sure there's an exception or three that are in the seeress toolkit they almost certainly aren't numerous and definitely aren't really her area.
well hopefully there is some stuff, at least defensive stuff if not offensive. but either way there is a lot for us to learn, and having 10 Hugr might also expand our options there

So, weird idea on the whole bridge teleportation. I wonder if the idea of it is to use the idea of a bridge as "connecting places" and the feeling of the location to make a path to get there, and the burl might connect to Yggdrasil in some way. So the idea is opening a path through the World Tree to your destination.

Sure!
Maybe, but it wouldn't be easy
You tell stories, which inspires them to follow in his footsteps, much like how you did with Hefty-Halter Chop
In order;
-If they acquire it
-Sure
-No
-She left to Jurgdby
-They used it
-She does. They seem to be fine, for the most part. Aki is starting to grow into his own
-Nothing exact, but soon-ish
-Their bodies were found and then resurrected alongside the others
You're not going to be a slave hub for very long, only a summer at most
Thank you very much and welcome to the party!
