Honestly I realize the endstage of that saga is the incredibly wealthy shapecrafter gets murdered by a random viking staring at his 2 million silver hoard.

Shapecrafting is a powerful art. Finally after this discussion I understand why it truly must be balanced out with insanity: true and complete and isolating insanity.
It's because otherwise every shapecrafter would be the hottest piece of ass in the village, stealing everyone's wife/husband.
The gods were wise with their price.

I mean, I suspect most shapecrafters spend some of their money on serious protections, so it'd be a random very hardcore viking. But yes, probably.

For funsies:
All 17 shapeshift slots cost around 2 600 740 ounces of silver in total. Thats about 74 metric tons of silver.
Forget getting the silver. I fear the logistics of organising the payment.

Clearly, we aren't going to pay to have 17 shapecrafts done but I think we need to at least ask this guy what he would do with the money if we did.

Hey Blackhand,
Did you find it a bit weird that no other Hallrs ended up on Skane, and instead went with the more scattered parts of our extended family? Brimir implied that you were the 'first' Hallr he met after your death.
When I got Sundersight, did you also get the ability to use Sundersight? Or anything similar.

I am reading a log of an Exalted Infernals game. And the main character at one point developed the power to manifest mouths and tongues anywhere on her body much to her girlfriends delight. Eventually the girlfriend figured out the trick as well.

It does still count if you start the vote from the previous update, which is what should happen, but no reason not to post it again.

You shudder as you step outside the Shapecrafter's den, thankful for the sun's warmth against your skin. Inside the house of Luthinn Limpwrist, it was cold and oddly clammy, like the feeling of clay between two fingers.
As you step outside, though, you realize that your movements are significantly bouncier, like there's something of a spring to your step. It's like this for Stigmar, too, as he follows close in your footsteps. The both of you are far faster now, the results of Shapecrafting gone well.
Abjorn, however, walks with a far heavier step. The ground seems to rattle beneath his hulking form as he strides out onto the street. His body has seen much in the way of strengthening as he towers over both you and Stigmar alike, his shadow casting the both of you in darkness. With strengthened skin and bolstered bone, there's not much that'll knock your husband down. His joints, too, seem far more flexible than before, allowing him to get both into and out of wrestling holds with much greater ease.
Regardless, you and your men make your way back towards the ships with lighter pockets and strengthened bodies. The Wavedancer awaits your return with an eager glee as its ship spirit readies to take to the seas once more, where it shall dance the waves as it always was meant to be.
Taking hold of the rudder, you gently guide the ship from the shore of Jurgdby and towards the Danish horizon.

Hey IF/Abjorn, what shapeshifts mechanically did you end up going with?
- Pronouns

Wolin is the actual destination. Denmark would let us recruit additional people there or similar things, though. Maybe give us more time to talk to our Slavic thralls.
Wolin is where our target went missing. We should check in with the thralls we bought and ask for info, as well as freeing them, or at the very least deciding when we will and informing them.
Letting them believe they're enslaved forever when we're going to free them anyway is needlessly cruel IMO.

Wolin is the destination, you'll be getting the info as you go

For talking to the thralls? Yes. For recruiting more crew in Denmark? Not so much.
I think talking with them is our Day 1 thing wherever we're headed, yeah. Talking with them a second time may or may not be needed...
@Imperial Fister if we head direct for Wolin can we assign multiple days to talking with the thralls and clarifying the situation/getting information?
Also, for the record, I'm guessing there's not time to learn Slavic even if we invested enough xp/Research?
