Is the 150 whalebone before or after the split with the crew?

I wonder what a whaleblood infusion would do to us.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yeah, I asked about the split a minute ago. Seems very relevant.
IF hinted in Discord that doing Blood Imbibing with things that aren't thematically on point might be a bad idea. We could give one to somebody else, though. IF suggested maybe Eric?

Oh I don't wanna take whale blood in, I just wonder what it'd do. Though fire is the most boring element so introducing some water in would own.
I won't take anything less than Jotunblood for Halla, after all.

Huh. Just thought of an additional question: @Imperial Fister what about our Slavic Nobles? Are we dropping them off during this leg of things? That probably warrants a scene of some sort, and would make sense as one of the places we stay the night...

That's also very possible, yeah. Hence the question.

Well. We always knew that Christian Cultivation was not the same as Norse Cultivation.
Also, I suspect that, for a priest, "Teach me Latin, please." is at least as valuable as "Go murder those guys for me, would you?" is for a Viking.
Bartholomew: Freed from bondage and an immediate opportunity to cultivate? Heavens yes!

Huzzah! A good result!
I kinda want to hang out with Kettil Farcaster, he seems cool. IDK if we have him on the ship.
Also, from the destination being locked in, I take it we're heading to Hedeby and then back home, and not going back to Skane or Bornholm?

He is no longer on the ship, sadly.
That was my impression. But we're already a bit later returning with Johannes stuff than would be ideal, so it's technically possible we just have to go there first.

Nice! Have a Reward Dice
I'll say you get 50 whalebones and as much food as it would require to feed your family—and household—for the winter.
It is not hard, but it does rely on his understanding of rot to work better
Summer 11 is already 62k words long, I will cry if I have to do more than is necessary
In fairness, we have been sailing for a while, given that we spent a lot of last turn doing it as well. I can understand a desire to wrap things up. We've still got the Heart of the Hading booked in for this turn as well.
Like, if perfecting them lets us spring them our more often without draining ourselves its probably worth it. This brings it from the finale level of cost to 'expensive for sure but doable and missing isnt the end of the world". Its probably not urgent though.
Perfecting also has other benefits we might want. Being impossible to counter by higher Hugareida is great for our big damage for big fights thing.
Btw can we work on an actual banish the night+mind eye blinks alloy? It might be really useful
- Pronouns

That would be 90 Food, assuming generous interpretations of Household. So, we have, in terms of combatants on the ship, 9/33 people in our Household. So our collective share should be about 41 Whale Bone and 1500 Food. That final number maybe seems a little light on food?
We did say we'd happily trade Food for Whale Bone, though. Depending on the price of Food, that might be valid... @Imperial Fister how much is food going for right now, roughly? Is 155 Food per Whale Bone reasonable? Or should we still have a bit more Food? The amount of whale bone we can acquire capping at 50 makes sense either way.
That's totally fair. If we do it offscreen it's offscreen.
I mean, we're talking dropping Sunfire Spear from 100 Orthstirr a pop to 50 Orthstirr a pop. That's not cheap enough to spam it, so I'm not sure it expands the use cases all that much? We can think about it, certainly.
We have it. The Rewrite let us do it instantly mid-combat, but that's all it did. It's a normal Alloy now. It's on the sheet.

Yeah but thats a thermic reckoning alloy. Its an illusion banish using an actual finale. Which is fine in battles like this where illusions are the main point, but when fighting a foe who uses illusions besides other stuff (ie Lidrun most likely) popping out a finale just to dispel illusions seems awfully expensive.
Think about it this way. If t the cost of 100 we can do one, at 50 we can do a second one if the first is countered. Which happens often enough to be worth it. It turns it from a terribly costly trick into an expensive trick, but not much more then, saw, threadcutter. Meaning its easier to integrate into our strategy and is less disasterous if it misses
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Uh...no. We never did that. We did the non-Finale version.
Threadcutter isn't that pricey, and we want to make it cheaper anyway. I'm not 100% against this, but we can in fact already do a few of these even without that if we need to.

Look, if IF didn't want us using the hyberbolic boat trip, he shouldn't have allowed cultivating on a boat

Honestly I do find it funny that this is the second time a player has Mandela Effect-ed themselves over this.
Clearly the imagery of the Thermic Rebuke idea was just that iconic and memorable! 😅

From previous stuff, it's about 10 times as long as mortals, so, like, 600 to 800 years barring injury or disease.

Did he agree to teach us Latin so easily because he's been gone too long to have heard about it being declared Forbidden Knowledge?
