The needlebinding thing sounds like a confirmed Trick, so it's no longer research, just xp to get the Trick. The other two are probably happening though, yeah. Other than those we want to try inverting Ignition and see what we get, and someone had an interesting idea for the burl/bridge thing, so we should probably do that. That leaves a couple of slots open, though we do have a bit more Alloy checking we could do if nobody comes up with anything more pressing
trying to research sunfire is good(And pretty fitting to do at the beginning of summer) and I had an idea for trying to put experiences in our soulscape. we can also try to find new ways to defend it. and there is still the martial style research
 
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.
Should we cast a Fertility Ritual for them? We can cast Seidr and all, after all.

Speaking of which, we can certainly give Solrun Odr to use in her experiments.
(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?)
Aside from Odr, maybe stuff them into a plant? Stuff them into something?
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...
Spirit ecosystem.... get?
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.
Interesting. In the Fold, we look grayscale and unreal, but our conscious self is a mass of color?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I wonder if one of this days Kurt will swear himself to us. We have been a more than generous employer until now, but he is basicaly family at this point.

maybe give them land?

I think they need to evolve and become sapient before we can give them land.

So we either need to give them Odr like we did with Bjorney, or give them Expiriences so they develop a personality.

we can try all of those I think

maybe we just need to fill them with straw
 
Hey Halla looking back at our last meeting was Lidrun at Saga Expansion or something higher?

Oh and how much Frenzy did she have?

We probably don't need to research Sunfire is we wait a minute for Blackhand to return, he had it and should know most of the relevant bits. The others seem fine but likely need more details to be viable.

Both are likely viable, yeah. I have no idea if doing the fertility ritual is an action or what, though.

Do we still have that bottle with Lava in it? Are we planning to do anything with it or can we use it for a Lava Hugareida? Also, what do we do with the Copper Rod? Will we use it to aquire Lighting Hugareida at some point?

Mostly, those are currently planned for the kids. Especially the bottle since it may not be reusable. We don't really need a lava Hugareida...the kids could make good use of one. The lightning rod we might try something with at some point, but that's definitely an action and we're action starved at best right now.

for experiences:
capture various important experiences of the actual Hading, such as parts of it, animals, places, various other important things, or even simple things like sunlight and moonlight. and then try to bring them out in our soulscape, or imprint it on a fitting part of it, or whatever we do when using experiences.

most shouldn't take lots of capacity since its a one time thing.

for defense, creating a wall, or a set of wards around the gate.

for martial style just meditate on the mountain of metal or something like that

This is wildly expensive. Each Experience is 9 Work Dice. And we're trying to build an arena before the end of Summer. We can't afford this any time soon...maybe not ever, in its current form.

We did wards already, I believe, and IF implied fortifications were not the way to go.

That seems...not detailed enough to be super useful.
 
@Imperial Fister a few quick questions:

1. What would it be to do a fertility ritual for Kurt and Haydis? 9 Work Dice like grabbing an Experience, an action, or what? Because we'd definitely like to help them out.
2. What does using our Perfected Tricks with Sunfire do? Like, is the damage any different, do they have special effects other than glowing with solar fire rather than their normal version, what does it do for EWC, all that kind of thing.
3. Is warding the entire boundary of our soulscape viable and what kind of action would it be to do so? I'm thinking that's too big an area, but it seems worth asking.

I mean, each is just an idea for what experience to do. we don't have to do all of it, certainly not at once. if we can do it with one experience we have or capture for something else, even better. but either way, just deciding on one experience and trying this with it seems very doable. once we see what it does, if anything, we can decide on how much we dedicate to it, when, and over how much time.
specifically I suggest the experience of sunlight, since we have no sun in the soulscape.this might allow to bring something similiar to it into our soulscape

we did wards around our farmhouse, not around the new border of our realm

One or two is more doable, but probably not immediately. Or Work Dice are a bit strained over the next few turns.

That seems like a much bigger job. I don't even know if it's viable...I'll add this to the questions I asked IF above.
 
@Imperial Fister what would it take to do a fertility ritual for Kurt and Haydis? would it be a work die? an action?
A fertility ritual would consist of three things associated with fertility/growth/or new life. You can cast the ritual up to 27 times (each cast requires a Work Dice).

1 cast results in the minimum
3 casts results in a good boost
9 casts results in a great boost
27 casts is maximum power

She seemed to be at Saga Expansion

She seemed to have around your level of Frenzy, but that doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
2. What does using our Perfected Tricks with Sunfire do? Like, is the damage any different, do they have special effects other than glowing with solar fire rather than their normal version, what does it do for EWC, all that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, it seems that Sunfire is so hot that it needs specially-constructed tricks to be usable.

As for your second question, it isn't viable. Your soulscape is simply too large to ward without having to run around constantly renewing the magic.
