Honestly the main consideration for me is if they're good people or not. The Burrisons have a bad rep, but it's possible some of them have a not-horrible rep.

Oh right, wasn't there like a whole little war that might have gone down with the Burisons if we hadn't gotten Halfdan and company as allies?
TBH I had just stopped worrying about them after Horra was introduced.

We're offering them money we have no obligation to offer, they're not gonna ask for more, they'll either take it or turn us down. If they do try to get more, then they're almost certainly acting in bad faith and we can tell them no.
We wouldn't be. We'd be having them associate with Wolfwind and Horra's grandchildren. Which seems reasonable enough if we want the feud to die.
As long as the kid in question is personally okay this is fine. Well, not fine but acceptable.
Probably yes, but I'm willing to try.

It's the literal translation of the phylum, genus, and species of the Grizzly Bear. It uses both Greek and Latin to get there, but it gets there.
(The translation of phylum/genus/species for the Brown Bear is "bearlike bear-bear".)

The Burissons aren't bad people. The younger ones tend to be bit too rambunctious for their own good (and boy do they suffer for it) and they're extremely opportunistic, but not maliciously so. They'll shank you in the street for a couple dollars, but they're not gonna burn down your house while they're at it.
They're not Horrassons, after all.
Funnily enough, we as humans are not merely Homo sapiens, we're Homo sapiens sapiens

Eh. Probably not. We did kill one, but we paid weregild. Befriending Halfdan was definitely helpful, but the chances of war were always small.
That tracks. I have no memory of knowing this previously but I am friends with the sort of people who would make that reference, so I've probably heard it before. Thanks for the explanation.

An even funnier one is the Western lowland gorilla, which is Gorilla gorilla gorilla
Oh that's not even started yet ;P
And with that, I bid the thread adieu for the night.

I mean, Horra clearly got warped by his quest for revenge. We'll try and teach our kids not to do that, and try not to die to people they can't do anything about other than The Enemy (revenge against The Enemy is acceptable).
Well, that's certainly ominous.
Good night.

Sweet dreams.
Also, I'm only realising the implications of what Logi said. The Hading was originally a Jarldom. Now, I'm not sure how strong Jarls are - people with the title, not the social class - but I'm going to assume he was around Erik's strength... who is a Steelfather. And yet, despite being a Jarl and no doubt also having strong as fuck huskarls, he died...
This 'Drysalt' fella sounds like a fuckin' menace.
oh noes.... wait, if it didn't even started...

I mean, maybe? It'd mean that he's acting without Horra's knowledge, though, since Horra seemed pretty sincere when the puppet exploded. It'd also mean that Hasvir knows Shapecrafting, and I'm not too sure on that one.

I find it hilarious that even with Dorri's irritation with Logi, he himself jumped the gun to make his big important announcement, to the point that we still didn't get to finish our tale regarding the Dwarf war, the sun weapons, the ballista and Horra's sponsorship of the bandits.
*looks at Eyvors traits*
*looks at our Hamingja*
They marry, when they go for it for the first time: Death by SnuSnu.
Burris family: *Sues Eyvor for murder*
Eyvor: *Sues for divorce, as her husband isn't fullfilling his husbandly duties*
Dorri, to Logi: So, I heard that Iceland is really nice this time of year...
i think the answer to that is unknown.
but here us the trait:

Uh, why? There's not much it'd be able to do unless we want to leave some tricks behind in it... which seems like a poor idea, considering we're about to go and fight an army of draugar. I mean, we could use Hidden in Rags and have it watch the house while in the trees it something... but why?

Not so sure about this one... we know that Veny can see our fylgja, and that she's definitely not one our side. We can't guarantee that she won't be there.
Well, I say that, but you probably mean to leave the owl outside of the farmstead, like when we followed the troll. Unless Veny's Seersight lets her see events from far away - which shouldn't be the case, since she doesn't have Farsight - she shouldn't spot us.
Why? now we have Wolfwind on our side. And he should bring his son with him, and his son is Veny husband.

Yeah, we know Wolfwind is on our side. But is Veny willing to go against Horra? Like, if Wolfwind's son is as infatuated with her as Wolfwind makes him out to be, I'm honestly not sure whether he'd listen to his father over her. Even if he did, would Veny join him? She doesn't seem to be on our side at all, considering she sold us out to Horra. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, though.
She absolutely is. But considering her situation, who can blame her?
She can't openly betray her father both because of cultural reasons and practical ones. But she also dosen't want to follow him to the grave he has diggen for himself.

Yeah, that's the thing I don't get... what did she get from ratting on us to Horra? If it's true that she doesn't like Horra, why would she do that? She doesn't gain anything from it. Like, she didn't rat us out immediately, yet at the same time she was fine with ratting on us when we were gone. Is she simply trying to weaken both of us?
