Huh, so some quality housecraft tools would be appropriate, right?

Oooh, so we could make seamstress tools, right? (but full effort, not something like our old tools when we replace them)

Tools cover a whole lot of areas including weaving and cooking based on previous stuff.
Yeah, that would make sense.
Check.
Cool. Shouldn't the Pot then make our Food per Turn 20?
I think this should be 22 (13 + 9).
Yeah, that sounds good.

Sweet. Edited the plan to assign dice to actually making our Buildings function and make Asva something nice. It's arguable if we should actually spend Odr on this, but I think one is warranted as a present for family.
Maybe make it 3 Odr to have an important number?
@Imperial Fister
Do we have bonedust available? (from the Trollmen fight, for example, or as goods from our animals if we have a spare calf)

Is it possible for bone-ash to make a product worse? Or does it only improve?
Troll-men are explicitly ok. Dunno about theoretical animal boneash.

We haven't tried that before and I don't want to experiment with gifts...it could have bad side effects, and won't help us figure out if it does anything. We'll try that on something for ourselves, like our own set of tools.
I'm okay with using bone ash, we don't know exactly what it does mechanically, but it's a known quantity in Norse society more generally.

@DeadmanwalkingXI Would you be down to try alloying Sword and Standstill?
- Pronouns

I've actually started out with that in my notes for every plan since we got Sword (I theorize that it might create 'Peacebond' or something like that which prohibits weapons), but other more urgent things keep preempting it. Maybe we can fit it in next turn.

@Imperial Fister by the way, Kurt and Haydis coming back should be automatic once we have room for them (and their kid), right? That's what it sounded like but confirmation would be nice.

Could I spend a reward dice on more details about Odr and infusing it into items as we make them? Specifically breakpoints like 1/3/9/27/81/etc.
It's something we'll find out eventually, but it's sorta urgent now since it'll affect (the quality of) our present to Asva!

How would we go about training Abjorn to use Eyetalking? Just spend a training dice on it? I want to see Abjorn talk to Blackhand.

The more odr put in, the greater the result will be. That's free.
If you want anything more, it will require dice.
We'll say you have to spend 3 on it, but yes. You don't have to do it all at once, either.
Are you sure you want to use troll-men bones in the construction of a theoretical wedding gift to your sister?
The greater the source of the bones, the better the result will be

Does that mean there are no specific breakpoints just the more Odr we put in the more Orthstirr it gets? Because the breakpoints thing seemed to be the question.
Check. We probably want to do that but not super urgently.
The thought is that any bone ash is better than none, and we don't have any other bone ash. Is that wrong?

I'd like to know the effect of (if there are any) or reaching specific 'breakpoints'. If too broad for a reward dice, specifically the effects on our wedding gift to Asva.
Do we have bone ash from the Threaded Elephant?
If not, could we go and hunt down a worthy enemy to get some bone dust for our wedding gift to Asva? Potentially with Abjorn.

Personally I think we should defer Odr infusion into Hugr so we can make the most kickass wedding gift for Asva reasonably possible. Giving someone an awesome wedding gift is something you only get to do, like, once. And if it's sufficiently awesome we would almost definitely get Orthsirr out of it, too.
e: Reward dice, not training dice. Duf.

I mean, we don't get enough Odr for me, at least, to ever be willing to spend 27 on it, and we can casually do 9 without delaying the Hugr Infusion if we really want.
Honestly, if all it does is give it a bigger Orthstirr pool in use, I'm reluctant to spend more than one...Asva doesn't need a huge pool while weaving or cooking, and won't have the tools at other times. So it would a huge investment for something that's basically useless to her. Like giving someone a golden set of cookware when they just want a functional set.
Like, we only spent 1 Odr on a gift to Stigr for saving our children's lives. I'm not convinced we should spend more than that on a wedding present, especially when it won't even be useful.

There are effects, yes. They mostly deal with strengthening the spirit of the object (in ways beyond the expanding of orthstirr pools)
You could definitely use the bone ash of a farm animal, there's nothing stopping you. I just don't think that Asva would appreciate something made with troll-men — a notable cause of deaths in childhood — when she's intending on starting a family of her own.
While the overall power of the ash is important, what's more important is how thematically relevant the source creature is to whatever you're adding the ash to.
Sure. Not a crazy large amount, but you have some.
