Okay, so, tentative plan. Basic idea is going to Folkvangr and finish off weapons for our remaining huscarl along, via Work Dice, with whipping up some Yule presents for just about everyone. Research could be adjusted, but with our Rewrites refreshing before next turn, now is the time to get experimental with them (and we are...I'm not sure if either of the Rewrite actions will actually work).
We're going down to only one Mail Shirt for Dorri here (though the quality goes up)...we're not seeing ay returns on that deal yet, so it's more suspicious if we keep producing at the same rate than if we slow down.
[X] Plan Folkvangr We Are Coming
-[X] [Social] (Personal) Spend time with...
--[X] Hasvir Horrasson
--[X] Recruit him to go to Folkvangr and speak to his grandfather with us so as to gain information to stop Drysalt. We will note that Drysalt has human contacts and this should be kept a secret from everyone lest it get back to him...Hasvir is smart and used to secrets.
-[X] [Travel] Go To Folkvangr
--[X] Taking with us Hasvir Horrasson and possibly a couple of others (probably just Stigmar, and Abjorn if he wants, though other family members who know the Drysalt situation are possible)...we're not telling anyone who doesn't already know about the Drysalt thing or our destination other than Hasvir.

Training:
-[X] (Research)
--[X] Continue our reciprocal Slavic/Norse studies – 4 Research
---[X] Make sure our Slavic retainers are not having any specific troubles
--[X] Continue adding animals to our soulscape to make a working ecosystem, focusing more on wild animals this time – 1 Research
--[X] Act on our revelation in regards to Sword Stepping and figure out how to actually do it – 1 Research
--[X] With Sten's help, see if we can figure out what the effects of Nordic Armor would be if we offered a portion of Orthstirr gained while using it as a sacrifice (specifically on Odin-dedicated armor if we need to pick) – 1 Research
---[X] The idea here is to get an idea of what they would do, possibly using divination if needed to do so, not actually try and make this work right now, just get a better idea of what it
would do.
--[X] With Sten's help, examine our Bolt Thrower again with an eye to figuring out how to reproduce it...right before the season ends, try using a Rewrite to gain the necessary insight to do so – 1 Research
--[X] Right before the season ends and they Refresh, try and use a Rewrite to Alloy Puncture and Sharpen to allow for Puncture to apply automatically to Sharpen attacks without removing the ability to apply it to other attacks by paying – 1 Research

EDIT: Switched from Size Up to training Sword Stepping. Added some wording clarifications on some of the research.
Oh... boy. If all they have to do is pay us double iron... they can just pay that indefinitely and keep it for themselves forever.
Dwarves are very profit-oriented, this is them taking a loss every turn, they absolutely want to stop that as quickly as possible. They were just expecting us to be harsher about it.
