No, that's fine. Doesn't effect the character sheet post.
Just providing reassurance there. Evacuating noncombatants was Priority #1.

[X] Harald Logarson Event Action
-[x] At the Hersirs directions Harald will attempt to gather and direct those assisting with fortifications. Will differ leadership of construction group to Rikard Villeson, if he is not doing fortifications then Harald will take lead over the ones doing it so their efforts are coordinated.
-[x] Harald will set up fortifications in the killing field designated by the Hersir. The goal will not be to establish a big wall to stop them, but a pattern of earthworks designed to slow them, disrupt their formations and funnel them into the field of fire for the tree trunk bouncers with choke points in the funnels held by the 3 !NotBoneMechs. Will attempt to keep fighting positions for !NotBoneMechs positioned slightly elevated in relation to Tree-trunk launching positions and out of intended direction from tree launching position.
-[x] Harald will use no more than 1/3 of his oth tank on these fortifications, and will relay the order of the Hersir to not tire yourself to all others working fortifications.
-[x] On battle being joined Harald will focus on repairing damaged fortifications first and then disrupting enemy movements(focusing on rear enemy ranks to avoid friendly fire) with his Martial Style and Soil Kunna until out of oth. Once out of Oth Harald will engage with Axe and Shield until he runs out of bones to smash or air to breathe.

I just learned something!
This shit with the logs may actually be a traditional style of warfare for us!
Stångstörtning is a traditional Swedish and specifically Gotlandish sport, similar to caber tossing!
Norse cultivators from Gotland yeeting rune-engraved magical telephone poles in the general direction of the enemy is now a time-honored classic, even with the ruination of our homeland!

We do have some ways to recover Ordstirr and some of that will probably go to you guys. I suspect that's abstracted on a different level than plans like this, though.
Nice. Glad we're getting back to our roots (pun intended).

Erik: "Yeah. Hm. So... I just carved the things with 'this bloody lively log bounces and breaks bone-men.' So I guess we're in trouble if they're all a bunch of skeleton Amazons or something. Didn't think of that. Huh."

Um, not to nag, but about asking the seeress to do a divination? That bit is fairly important, really.
I highly doubt they're all women, and the log won't care about going through women to get to men, so I think we're fine.

There have been a lot of posts since last XP roundup; so I may have missed some omake stuff. There were a couple one paragraph summary posts that did not get rewarded as well.

You could join with a specialzied undead slayer, right in the moment when the undead are here, and become The Hero?

I mean, someone joined just a few hours ago, and in-universe your character stepping up to fight an invasion makes sense. Go for it if you like.

Skuli Draugrhater is already literally this guy, for the record. He was made for this specific situation. Despite having been created beforehand.

so, i've got a deep and eternal love of body cultivators in more traditional cultivation stories. so giantblooded seems ideal.
but is there a sort of kunna that would be that? i'm not sure if it can be something that doesn't have a external reflection.

If it's non-external, that's probably more of a Martial Style, skill, or trained ability like 'Improved Shapeshifting' than a Kunna. Which is fine, not everyone has Kunna.
To be specific, over 1/3 of people don't have a Kunna at all, and several of our scarier fighters (not a majority, but several) are among that number. It's a totally viable route to power.

Doubt I, that this raiser of dead would raise nose at gender posed."
Hrósvior (Lo_and)
Saw a few other people do art of their characters and thought I should give it a try. So here's a basic approximation of what Hrósvior looks like!
View: https://imgur.com/a/zqeHjOU
As for the skeletons... uh. I can't do a lot to help prepare, and probably won't be a lot of help in the fight, so I'll just assist others for now.
[X] Hrósvior Skeleton Action
-[X] Hrósvior offers whatever assistance for the preparations he can. Hauling, message delivery, extra set of hands, etc.

You could have both Giant's Blood and be a level 2 Berserk if you wanted to.

That reminds me, a bunch of older stuff that as far as I'm aware didn't get rewards before got threadmarked, are those going to get Ordstirr or is that just for tracking purposes?
If you want to go full Shapeshifter, as Norse Body Cultivation essentially is, I think something like "Giantblooded, Improved Shapeshifting" would get you a lot of flexibility, but I'm really not sure what else feeds into it.

What was the divination about?
0~0~0
Magic Eyes Scout Team Findings;
The cavalry have broken off from the main skeleton forces, disappearing into the waves.
It seems that the skeleton army is controlled remotely by a single source of power, with the skeletons having relay-skeletons that are otherwise indistinguishable from normal skelebozos.
There are a dozen goliaths, with each also containing a central relay-skeleton. Take it out and the whole goliath goes down.
0~0~0
Sea-Sneaking Scout-Team Findings;
The skelecavalry have formed up under the ocean's surface, their horses reformatting themselves into skeletal sea-horses. They seem to be content waiting for some unseen command.

Looks fine, although I'll point out that Grid was a lot more eager for a duel than I was, before that I offered to take nothing but the heart and only after that was refused did I agree to a duel.
