I just want to see his reactions to Halla being Halla. Most events that fall under that would be good.
The ending of the whole thing with Horra would also be nice.

Yes, this is what I mostly mean by wanting to see his thoughts on Halla. I want to see Steinarr react to Halla's growth and Halla doing Halla things.
I would like to see how Steinarr views Halla and how she has grown and developed trough the years.

Password Cracking
Leaving a bloody palmprint on the golden trunk of the Warden Tree, you breathe deep of the earthy air rising from the spiral staircase before taking it deep underground. With walls of smooth, well-cared-for stone and soft carpets covering each and every step, it's easy to see that Toki and his family have been doing well for themselves now that they've come into another mine.
Still, despite the niceties the dwarves have lain out for you and any other visitor, the fact that you're here at all stokes the fires of annoyance in your soul. The only reason you're here is because you failed in solving a certain problem of yours by yourself.
Regardless, if even Sundersight working in tandem with your Frenzy failed to crack the dwarf ledger's passcode, then, maybe, you'll have to ask for help.
...No matter how much it may sting your pride to do so.
After sighing heavily and smoothing out your dress' wrinkles, you deliver a trio of sharp taps against the round, carved-stone door leading to the dwarf underhouse.
As the door starts to shake and shift aside, you consider how, exactly, you want to play this. While you're certain that the dwarves could crack the code, if they'll do it for you remains an uncertainty. If you offered up a lot of food for it, you reckon that their greed would overrule their sensibilities, but that may have unintended consequences. You could also have them do it as a favor while making them swear to give it back, but that'd probably damage your relationship a little bit.
Regardless, you'll have to make up your mind soon, as Toki is already welcoming you inside with a great big smile on his face and arms open wide.
How do you want to play this?
[ ] Offer a considerable amount of food for a guide on cracking the passcode (-100 Food)
[ ] Ask them to do it as a favor (-1 Goodwill. The Dwarves will take the ledger from you for 1 Turn)
-[ ] (Optional) Make them swear an oath to give it back once done (-2 Goodwill)
[ ] Write in a different way

Attempting to improve Needlebinding
Unfortunately, though you study and experiment with different styles and knots, it all comes back to one single problem: in order to undo needlebound cloth, you have to go in and undo each and every loop, one by one. With each line of needlebound cloth consisting of dozens upon dozens of knots, each made with many loops of their own, this is a very painstaking process.
However, as you work at it over and over again, something occurs to you in the back of your head. While the knots still have to be undone one at a time, there's nothing stopping you from working at multiple knots all together!
Still, the question of how remains.

Attempting to teach Bjorney Eyespeech
Though you feel quite silly trying to teach a bear of all things how to speak, you can't help but suspect you're making a little bit of progress. Sometimes, when you catch Bjorney's gaze, the hints of spoken word filters through your mind.
You'll have to keep at it. One or two more lessons should do the trick, you reckon.

Attempting to Infuse the Chicken's Hamr
You watch as the chicken happily pecks at the seeds you scattered before it. Its red comb flops around as its brown feathers shake to and fro as its beak digs deep furrows in the ground from how hard it strikes.
This chicken... Is stronger now that you've pushed your odr into it, that's for sure. You don't think that you could strengthen it any further than you already have, but that's probably a good thing given the way it eyes the world around it now that its pecks break rock.

Attempting to recruit the wisps in your soulscape

Continuing work on uncovering the parent style of Time Stands Still
Something you notice, as you focus on your frozen, stuttering breaths, is that the entire Style almost feels... It's difficult to explain, really, but it's almost like it's not yours, like it's something that you inherited.
When you inhale, all is as expected. The air is as crisp as it always is this time of year. The taste of warmth escaping in the face of the coming winter places across your tongue.
When you exhale, though, it's like someone else is breathing for you. The taste is that of iron, hard and uncaring yet ever-there. It presses down on your throat like a mountain of metal.
But, if it's an inherited style, who could you have inherited it from?
That mountain of metal... Perhaps that's the key?

EDIT:
Huh, this is interesting. So, there's a couple options I see for "inherited". It could be something we've inherited by blood, or via right. If it's via blood, then I doubt it's from our dad's side of the family/Blackhand, since we already got Stoker State from them and it would feel a bit redundant. That leaves Asveig's side of the family. Hmmm, @Imperial Fister, what do we know about Asveig's parents? Any famous names associated with metal mountains? I recall us learning something about her having some divine heritage before, so perhaps that has something to do with it?
The other and much less likely possibility, is that we somehow inherited this style from the Lurkalings via the Dwarven Underhouse being on our land. Dwarves are uncaring and would probably have metal mountains somewhere underground. But do Dwarves even have Martial Styles? We can't completely rule it out, but it feels less likely to me based on what we know.
Worth looking for any mentions of metal mountains in Norse and Germanic mythology. Possibly the mountain where Brunhilde was held prisoner? But nothing is coming up on Google, so it might be a NQ-specific thing.
Would offering them one I.O.U. for mercenary work in the future be an acceptable option here? Any particularly annoying lindwyrms they would like to be rid of?

A bunch. We're at, like, 8/10 and can get more for way less than 100 Food per 1 Goodwill. The 100 Food option is a terrible idea.

It's 2 Goodwill, since we need to spend 1 to get their help translating, and then another 1 to actually get it back afterwards.
EDIT: Oooh, ,I've got an idea. The Carbon Powder stuff is valuable to them, right? How about we trade that back to them in exchange for their help cracking it?

I suspect we need an Expirience of a rainbow to put in the burl, to invoke Bifrost.
Given that the burls were assigned to specific destinations, you need to do that somehow. I think an Experience of the destination, carved into or painted onto the burl. Probably not Runes since you activate the spell by breaking the burl.
Are bridges named? A name for the destination might be useful or necessary.
Our first attempt should be for a nearby bridge

We can get 1 Goodwill for a lot less than 50 Food, too.
This seems viable, yeah. Offering that, and Goodwill if that's not enough, seems workable to me.
Googling "metal mountain" doesn't reveal much. There is a Turkish myth involving melting a metal mountain; there is a connection between our family and Attilah the Hun, and Huns are ancestors of Turks, so there's a tenuous connection there.
There's also the Magnetic Mountain from the 1001 Nights; no idea how that would fit in.

I think that the burl needs to be from an ash tree to connect it to yggdrasil conceptually. Then the experience of the place you want to go is implanted into the burl. The knots of the burl are "knots" in the world tree that allow shortcuts to be taken trough reality.
idk why you need to punch the burl tho.

Works for me. Beaver Bone Ash would improve its ability to carve wood. So, like, double bonuses when doing woodwork.
Not much. They were relatively normal people who lived relatively normal lives. They were notable for being strong combatants, but that's not especially unique among the Norse.
The metal mountain is an NQ-specific thing, as far as I'm aware. An information action may help you here.
