Ok. 2 more questions: We infused 64 Odr into hugr this turn, right? Shouldnt our Hugr infusion be 8 instead of 7, or am I miscounting something? And where is the BOOK in our char sheet?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
We only had a 6 in Hugr Infusion before we Infused this last turn. Going from 7-8 would actually be 128 Odr.
Not there yet. I was waiting until we completed the cover. We're not gonna forget about it.
Looks good to me. We mignt want to take some precautions if we make somebody a berserker, better not begin forced to knock them out.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Oh, precautions would be very heavy in that case...I honestly don't think we even want to do that quite yet. We probably want to check in with the berserkers as an organization and get officially inducted first, make sure there aren't gonna be problems...all that stuff.
Infusions other than Hugr are a lot less fraught.

I don't think berserkers are a centralized organization. They feel more like a sub-culture, a community with some informal rules but no true authority.
Considering they are spread in all the Norse realms, i don't think they have a formal institution. Its probably more like small groups of berserkers who do initiation rituals and stuff.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
True, but we still don't want the local ones pissed at us for initiating a bunch of people without consulting them, y'know?
I understand.
By the way, since Vagn is already a berserker. Would't infusing him give him extra Frenzy?
Also, unrelated but maybe we could ask Solrun abaout learning more Elemental Seidr. That is the type of Seidr we know the least abaout.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Infusing his Hugr should do that, yeah. We'll maybe get to find out more about how most berserk's Frenzy works by trying (does his 4th point of Frenzy cost 1 Odr, or 8 Odr?)...we'll need to be careful not to give him too much, but it's doable in theory.
We probably want to burn a Reward Die on figuring out whether that's safe before doing it, honestly.
Next turn when seidr lessons start up for the summer we can ask.

We might want a Shapecrafter on hand, just in case.
Wich remembers me. When we start the whole political intrugue investigation, regarding who supports Corpsemaker and who dosen't. We should check on Hasvir and his family. To see what they are doing and on wich side they are.
Now that Vidar is dead and Abjorn inherited his farm, we an Hasvir are probably the richest landowners of the Valley. Beside the Jarls, maybe.

Spending time with Abjorn
Late one evening, as you bid Kurt and Haydis a pleasant night—the pair had been trying for a second child for some time now, to unfortunately little result—you find yourself finishing up some light housework with Abjorn at your side.
With wet rag in hand, you scour away the gristle clinging to the basin of the cooking pot as Abjorn stares into the fire. His thick, callous-ridden fingers worry away at the new buckle on his belt—a strong, bronze item he'd received as inheritance. As, with a triumphant smile, you finally manage to break the chunk that'd been giving you such trouble, Abjorn turns to you with brows knit together and eyes struggling to look your way, his mien that of a confused, conflicted man trying to process difficult emotions
"Halla?" Even his whispers warble, like he's unsure of even his voice, "I... have a question."
You frown as you set the pot and rag aside. Taking the seat next to his, you lay your head on broad-yet-hunched shoulders as you take his meaty hand in your own. "I'm here for you, whatever it may be."
His fingers wrap around your own as he nods and takes a deep breath. "Am I a bad son?"
"I..." Fear flashes in his eyes as you hesitate for a brief second. Realizing your error, you leap into action without a moment's notice, "What makes you think you're a bad son?"
"Well," he works his jaw. "When Vidar—when Dad—died, I, well, I felt..." He trails off as he dips his head, blonde hair falling across his eyes.
"How did you feel?" You run your fingers through his hair as you brush it away from his face. He leans into you, almost subconsciously. Though nearly insignificant in comparison to his own warmth, your presence seems to have a calming effect on your husband's mind.
"I," shame twists his face as he curls in on himself, but that doesn't stop his quiet voice from finishing the sentence, "I felt relieved. I was happy that Vi—that Dad—died!" He turns to you, pain writ in his upturned brows, "What kind of son feels joy at their father's passing?"

Bjorney's Eyespeech
Teaching Bjorney Eyespeech is coming along very nicely! He can actually communicate in short bursts of intent and emotion, though he still struggles with the finer details like exact word choice and grammar. In time and with effort, those too will come to him.

(Technique Visualization Experimentation)
Asgeirr ripped his hat while playing outside, which gives you the perfect opportunity to test a certain idea you've had rattling around in that brain of yours. Stretching your fingers and rolling your neck, you settle in for the long haul.
It's dreary work, undoing needlebinding, but it's work that has to be done. Removing the torn strands is a long, arduous process, but perhaps it needn't be?
Taking a deep breath, darkness falls across your vision as you cast yourself into your thought-cave. From the empty black pit comes bursts of incandescing color as strands of thought weave into fingers of intent in your mind.
As your vision returns to you, it's to a mostly-unchanged sight. The hat still needs to be worked on, but some of the as-of-yet-untouched strands seem to move on their own—as if unseen fingers worry at the knots.
There could very well be something to this idea of yours, you just need to work at it.

Spirit Recruitment Drive
The minor, empty-minded spirits—which you find yourself referring to as 'tomvaettir'—seem delighted by the mere suggestion of having someplace to live. They roam around the soulscape, feeding on the plant-life and the even lesser spirits that crop up from time to time.
As further tomvaettir enter your soul, you suspect that you'll start to see more complex spirits seeking to feed on them. Depending on disposition, they could even try feeding on you...
(You know have a collection of tomvaettir in your soulscape)
(Tomvaettir - A minor sort of spirit that feeds upon plant life and whatever is weak enough to be devoured. They appear to have little in the way of conscious thought and seem almost emptier than your average spirit. Perhaps you could 'fill' that emptiness somehow?)

Looking through your Fylgja's eyes while it is in the fold
As you send your owl back to the fold between worlds, you take a deep breath and close your eyes.
Opening your owl's eyes, you find that it isn't an owl at all, but a sort of swirling mass of ever-shifting shapes and colors. Looking around, you spy your idling body as you breath in and out in a gray-scale world. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of differences between the fold and Midgard—in truth, it may even be the other side of the same coin.

Ooof. I dunno how to phrase this right, but no he's not a bad son, he's good. We should probably mention that his brother feels the same way. That helps make it clear that Vidar's behavior is the determining factor here.
I'll try and think up some wording.

I'm mostly in, but a specific mention that Farbjorn feels the same way from what we could tell might be good? Like, he was literally disappointed upon hearing Vidar was alive when we met him...that seems worth bringing up.
