Depends on whether they'll answer when he calls. Which does also have something to do with how strongly they're likely to be invested in avenging him.

We can only hope he does, there's a restraining influence on the daughter but none on the sons, if they're likely to swear vengeance later it would be better for everyone if they die here alongside Horra now.

It does as far as we know. Assuming he doesn't call them in for backup in this fight, anyway.
Wolfwind might help with that or even handle that one himself, though.

hooo boy, there is a lot.
lets get to it, then....
First, on the scarcrow and filling it: as it ran out of fuel and lost its commands... we could put it in our soul and fill it there, using it as a kind of worker spirit. Its an option, but understandable if we don't do it.
Gues Logi lost a composure roll there, huh?
Hopefully Halla can get them too.
oh my...
That IS a big deal, alright.... Guess we should ask around for more gossips and stuff, that newcomers can't hear and stuff? Its also a good thing to keep in mind, if we ever relocate....
haha, what the hell Dori....
...we just got had, didn't we?
After all, if the Daurgar army strikes, everyone will see them and if even one gets away.... then, tha'ts nightmares for everyone that will fuck over the whole fighting force....
Makes you wonder what the quest to kill Dry Salt would be...
its a good thing everyone is a cultivator, huh? so, these things are somewhat cheaper... or should be...
But i thought jesus died for all of our sins!
Joke aside, that's a good idea. it might be guilt for holding back too.
What if... what if we bury the hatchet with a marriage of one of their kid with one of ours?
i know, i know, "why would we want that?" and the answer is to end the cycle. Kinslaying is a big no-no, and we only have a beef with Horra, and from the looks of it, not even his family likes him.
...You gotta wonder how he survived with 30odrenskarp though. like, does he has Dreng that somehow kept up with the odren to keep him alive?
But anyways, marrying the two family would help to mitigate it at least.... and, well... its either finding a partner to our daughters or someone asking for them anyways.
This, too is just an option though.

Who DOESN'T like to screw Horra in any way, in this Vales?
NGL, but i assume this really helped, especially after the news about Ironjaw.... May he survive whatever The Enemy's setup is for, that got him to kill Rainmaker.
yeeeep, it usually does work like that.
ooof, poor Dori...

Ah, yes, old friendships...

oh, this is big, if weight is involved... and a whole ship....
*golp*
haha, what the hell Dori....
Huh... interesting... but yeah, understandable. at least 53 human and 1 elephant daurgr....
...we just got had, didn't we?
oh... So its that big for sword and horse too?
i mean-
yeah, this. Sword and Horse for hunting down a pestsingular threat for the community, Ship and Sail for something that would fuck over the whole fighting force of said community?
After all, if the Daurgar army strikes, everyone will see them and if even one gets away.... then, tha'ts nightmares for everyone that will fuck over the whole fighting force....

hm... Wolfind's son just married Horra's daughter, did they not?

There's also a very Viking response to this issue.
We go to where they are, we declare what we have done (possibly taking some time to go full-on poetic about his crimes) and we invite them to take their shot if they feel so inclined. Like, "I'm not attacking you, but if you want revenge, here's your chance."
First of all, it seems like the sort of thing that's pretty darned dreng all by itself. Second, if they are feeling vengeful, then backing down from something like that is going to smack them around a bit with nid... and dropping nid on people who hate you is always a good thing. Third, it gets it all out there in the open and possibly has them attacking us on the spot rather than waiting and coming after us later.
The downside is, of course, that it has them attacking us on the spot rather than waiting and coming after us later. If it turns out we can take them, that's great. If it turns out that we can't... not so good.

Hmm
Given the bodypop incident with Hasvir Horrason,
If we later find out that there exists a real not-a-fleshpuppet Hasvir Horrason, can we kill them as if they were an outlaw?
If Horra can indeed do the memory shenanigans thing, then.. Could even his grief and rage be false?

They weren't declared outlaw, so no.

I'm against trying to force any of our kids to marry anyone. That's more likely to enforce the feud than end it if they hate each other and either mistreats the other. We can add their kids to our playdates list and try and make sore they're friends, though. That has potential if we can get agreement on the idea.
I'd like to combine this with the 'common enemy in Drysalt' thing and suing for peace, personally. Like "Listen, I have no quarrel with you going forward and would be happy to end our feud here and even help you find the monster who took your brother. But if you're not interested, we can go right here, right now."
No, but it's been noted that Horra's kids no longer count as related to everyone in the valley, so if we kill them and cop to it (especially in self defense) we aren't fighting the whole valley like we were with Horra.

Just started reading this.
Our husband-to-be is named 'Not A Bear'. That seems curiously specific.

Welcome to the thread!
Abjorn actually translates as 'Terror-Bear'. The name is appropriate.

Hmmm...
If we want to be especially nice about it, we can even offer to pay wergild. Like, the dude was outlawed, so we don't have to, but he was still their dad, right? We could offer to pay it anyway. Again, paying wergild that you aren't legally obligated to pay in order to try to end a revenge cycle feels like the sort of thign that would be pretty dreng.
@Imperial Fister - How would that sort of offer be taken? What kind of wergild would even be appropriate for, say "Horra, but not an outlaw"? Is it even remotely within our ability to pay, or does this fail instantly because we couldn't offer anything more than a relative pittance?
He's a horrible bear-bear, and we love him.

Welcome to the party!
I have a bit of fun with the names ;P
Like, 40oz silver seems pretty reasonable to me. Now, that doesn't mean that they'll be reasonable about it, but such is life.

I feel like this a reference to something and it's tickling my brain but it's not quite clicking. It's also entirely true of course.
Huh. Yeah, we should definitely offer that as part of the suing for peace. We can afford that much.

I feel the same way.
Though, in my case it's because, growing up, my sister had a stuffed bear that she called 'bear-bear'. I'm making the assumption that it's different for you, lmao.

Hypothetically, if you derived it from "Åbjorn" it could also mean "River-Bear".

Woah, woke up to some good shit. The interaction between Logi and Dorri was especially enjoyable.
We can certainly pay weregild, and hopefully they see resson and take the reasonable offer rather than charging us ruinous prices.
As for the warship... it's cool and all, but our sailing socks and we don't have anyone to man it other than our huskarls and Abjorn. Kind of awkward, lmao.

yeah, that sounds a lot better, honestly, if we are lucky they will get together on their own.

Veny is an unknown, as we barely know anything about her.
However, the other three Horrasons we know hate our guts, so I'm not sure if conflict is avoidable with them.
Eugh, Hel no. The worst ending. Unless he's actually a good person, and good for her.
And yes, I'm aware it's a joke, but I'm fully willing to kill all of those guys (Horra's children included) if they pose a threat to our children.

i mean, there is still 5 kids coming, so... there could be other daughters, not to mention friendship is good enough for me between the kids. the marrige is more for stopping the blood feud.
...and Horra's daughter might have girls on her own, so its still on the table....
...i mean, that would put a stop on another blood feud so...
