Sure
Jurgdby has a high quality whetstone mine—just not a very high volume one. Barely enough for the Kyrsvikingar let alone trade.
Thank you!
~80oz silver, on a good day. These are magical, super high quality whetstones.
Same as yours, but also she feels... Weaker? Like if her legs were wooden stumps or something.
Thank you very much!
One of the Ironmasks is. You saw him keeping guard of the beach.
Something about him seemed oddly familiar, though you'd never be able to put your finger on exactly what makes you feel that way.

The blood infusion thing... seems quite interesting but probably less important on a grand level than getting a heads-up on pitfalls for the next Stage of cultivation? But I cannot be bothered to work out how to frame questions on that, and the vote is already decided, so nevermind.
Sorry, I think you already answered this question and said we could? Maybe a wire got crossed here somewhere? If actually we can't because there's not enough, then of course that's fine. But this does slightly contradict the previous answer and also when we were getting ready to go on the Wessex trade mission, so it'd be good to have a definite answer.
EDIT: Sorry, it might be me getting wires crossed if I'm reading this as a reason we can't buy whetstones, rather than additional context as to their value.

She fucked up her breakthrough, didn't she? Which part did she skip? Or miss?
Time to go hunting and WMGing for who he could be!
He's not, like, Forkbeard or something, right?
Huh, so those might be worth buying for their own reason.

Oh damn. We probably want to keep one of those, then, maybe a couple and use the others as rewards rather than trade... What would the effects be? Or don't we know?
Weaker foundation, it sounds like. Like she never bothered to build a farm.
Huh. I wonder if we know this guy when he's not in costume.

So, I'm not really sure if you folks have clocked this or not but you're heading off to go complete the latin thrall quest after this vote, so you should decide if you're going to shapecraft or shop or, perhaps, go hunting for that Ironmask.
It's additional context, but I did also forget I answered that.
All three, no fence, no house, no farm.

Boat loads of money so we can get even more shapecrafting is such a good thing to pick up and I'm so glad we are doing so. Let's get that permanently +10 speed, guys. 😉

For the record, I clocked this. And was voting shapecrafter...the Ironmask thing makes a tempting alternative, though.
To repeat my response from Discord: Hahahahahahahahaha.
- Pronouns
- He/His/etc
Can Ironmasks go plainclothes? I thought they gave up their identity permanently.
Going to see the shapecrafter is in the vote that everyone has made!
I get the sense that the Ironmask is another one of our nine million relatives and has a potential interesting plotline, but the shapecrafter is a shiny that players have lusted after for too long to be denied.

- He/His/etc
The problem is that Shapecrafters are too crazy to be trusted with our body.

I'll tell you that the Ironmask is someone you have met onscreen

My impression was that it's not actually magical becoming an Ironmask. Well, it is, but only inasmuch as everything is. You just put on a mask of a Steelfather's face and dedicate all your Orthstirr to him while wearing it. In exchange, he seems to give these people Infusions, among other benefits.
Eh. A significant fraction of our friends and allies have trusted Limpwrist with their bodies. He's apparently reliable.

Hmmm, interesting. Now I'm wondering who we haven't seen for a while...

Oh, it's Heima, isn't it?
We always thought he was weirdly strong and capable.

Whoever it is has to have become an Odr cultivator since we saw them last, I think (since it doesn't make sense for it to be any of the Odr Cultivators we've met previously)...that probably means not Heima or anyone who was on our most recent expedition.

Oh yeah, I brought it up earlier, but would we need to specifically vote on sliding in "BTW, I was thinking of giving my brother Eric a bit of a boost as part of my preparations, but he's sworn to your Warband, is that okay or would that be interfering and you'd prefer I not?" as part of our moves here.
It'd give us an extra layer of pretext for the privacy.

He would not stop you from gifting a powerful magic sword to Eric, so why would he stop you from doing this?

Mostly unsure of the politics involved, but if that falls into "Common Sense" stuff, then all's well!

Depends on the nature of the boost.
A jarl wouldn't stop someone like us from giving one of his vikings (who's a family member of ours) a magic sword. But he might have some questions if we were about to do some "free of charge" shapecrafting on him, because shapecrafters are weird and it's conceivable that there could be some kind of weird double game going on that would inconvenience him somehow.
Then again, the Norse seem to have a pretty individualist, trouble-tolerant philosophy when it comes to each individual's pursuit of badassery, so maybe I'm wrong.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Fair enough, but none of our available bonuses are troublesome like this. We have Infusions and crafting and that's about all we've got.
- Pronouns
- She/Her
Shapecrafters being weird doesn't mean we should avoid them forever. They're power. Ripe for picking up. Let's pick it up!
- Pronouns
- He/Him
So far, doing so is unanimous. So we almost certainly are. The discussion was more about why Corpsemaker might have reservations about allowing a shapecrafter not under his control to do whatever they wanted.
