Well. Note to all of us: Take a bit less cargo next time. Ah, well, live and learn.
Okay, so, basic plan idea. For the actions, these are all things we want to to do. I'm fine with talking with Hakon later, but we wanted this info from Sten. Training is focused on stuff we can actually get (especially the Silver-Tongue) and starting on Fylgja, which we should be able to get to 10 this trip with a bit of focus.
[X] Plan We Have Silver-Tongue For A Reason
-[X] Talk to a Crewmember
--[X] Sten
--[X] Ask him about the true nature of Steel, including its Price. We understand his concerns, much better now than when we first spoke of it years ago. We have no desire to forge Steel for any useful purpose, and are willing to swear an oath to that effect. But we need to understand more about it if we are to learn how to defeat it, as we may need to deal with Steelfathers in the future. If he says this is impossible, remind him of our grandfather.
--[X] Using various means to ensure this is as private a conversation as we can arrange (Sten may have his own methods, we'd do Eyespeech and Warding and likely do it somewhere a bit away from others on land). If Abjorn, Eric, or our huscarls want in they could potentially do so, but nobody we know less well.
-[X] Talk to a Crewmember
--[X] Kare Wolf-Seek
--[X] Get to know him better, with an eye towards seeing if he's a recruitment target
-[X] Talk to a Crewmember
--[X] Alvar Half-Elf
--[X] Discuss with him what elves are actually like, if he's willing to open up about it. We've met dwarves and trolls and other creatures, but never actually dealt with elves.
Nights:
-[X] Night 1
--[X] Lodge with local landowners (Silver-Tongue Check, -1 Success for every 10 crew you have, +1 Morale)
-[X] Night 2
--[X] Lodge with local landowners (Silver-Tongue Check, -1 Success for every 10 crew you have, +1 Morale) (again)
-[X] Night 3
--[X] Lodge with local landowners (Silver-Tongue Check, -1 Success for every 10 crew you have, +1 Morale) (and again)
Training:
-[X] (Research)
--[X] Teach Eric and Stigmar Eyespeech. If we can set up a class and teach more of our retainers for the same investment, we would do so – 6 Research
-[X] (Training) Hamr (511 xp to rank up)
--[X] Train Stoker State 64xp (32xp)
--[X] Train Glima 24xp (12xp)
-[X] (Training) Hugr (254 xp to rank up)
--[X] Train Silver-Tongue 32 xp (16 xp)
-[X] (Training) Fylga (102 xp to rank up)
--[X] Train Fylgja itself 48 xp (24xp)
Other:
-[X] (Pockets)
--[X] Add Tafl Board, Weighted Harness, Fylgja Training Harness, Silver Drinking Horn, Forged Iron Chain, and Mastercraft Cooking Pot to our Pockets.
-[X] (Shapeshifting Slots)
--[X] Assign our empty slot to High-Twitch Muscles
I am willing to consider dropping one Social action for some Training.
We get Training no matter what, it looks like. I also think trying to hard sell people on recruitment on our first actual social with them is a bit much. We want to recruit people, I agree, but that takes a bit more time.
EDIT: Used Skippy's suggested wording on the Sten conversation, and added a note that we're making sure it's private.
EDIT2: Forgot the full xp. Added it.
