Maize would be a major (maiz-or?) get for us, hopefully we come back with some.

[X] Harald Logarson Summer 2 Action
-[x] Major: Secure in his victory and with no hunger for additional glory this season, Harald devotes most of his energy to working the Tier 1 Farm plot he planted on Ragnarr's land, sowing mostly flax with bonemeal as fertilizer. He will plant golden grass throughout the plot, especially at the boundaries of the field and between rows of flax, and will experiment in providing it different sorts of shelter(lean tos, shading plants next to them, rough awnings over them, some shielded from the sun in the morning vs evening vs mid day etc etc) to attempt to see what conditions it most requires, using Farming Tricks heavily throughout. He will also plant his Mushroom Man, if the mushroom man is in working shape before Winter, Harald will have it help him on this action and the Passive fortification of Gefjosa's land, but not the clearing of his own.
-[x] Passive: Harald attends his cousin Moli's dance party, hopefully with company.
-[x] Passive: Harald will work with Agmundr(mentioned in his action as landscaping) to fortify Gefjosa's cottage with a ditch and earth wall. If mushroom man is ripe, it will assist with the digging as it's primary action. Harald remembers the ground Torgarr died on. He will go there, use his connection to the soil to find the spot that Torgarr's hearts blood fell upon, then take a part of that Earth and use it to lay the foundations of that wall. (Retaining a smaller part of the soil to put under Torgarr's Runestone when he raises it). Once their efforts are complete, he will arrange some small glowcoral images of the Gods that Gefjosa made and arrange them in a circle of tilled earth around him as he attempts to bless the wall and her fields with a prayer to the Gods and the Soil. As Sacrifice he will cut himself in the side with a sickle and offer all blood that falls before he finishes his prayer, stating also to the Gods that Torvarr Villagefeeders life was worth more than a single spear, and asks that if there be any weight of his sacrifice left that it be bent to the purpose for which his life was given: the protection of Torvarr's niece. If he starts to feel too woozy he'll let the blood that's fallen so far suffice and stop the bleeding.
-[x] Harald will assist Agmundr in searching Harald's tile of Jungle Hills for resources. Specifically Harald will be searching for sources of water that might be useful for agriculture in the future and for small livestock similar to Rabbits(anything he can find in the Soil that appears to fulfill an ecological niche with a large litter size, is a valid target for his Farming Tricks applying to animal husbandry, and a healthy ability to turn plant matter into meat and/or fur, fat, babies, misc other trade goods), or plants that he could potentially farm(looking for things with supplemental flavor or roughage suitable for rabbits. The dream find would be a rhizome spreading leafy tuberish thing native to North America called the Sunchoke). If he finds animals he will observe the species and then return later after building a hutch to contain them. If he finds plants he will plant them in a contained and seperated bit of the field on Ragnarr's land in an attempt to have them harvest this season.

You previously had joining the attack on the Onigar Quarry as your major action. Are you not part of that anymore?

Before, there was a man named Villagefeeder that Harald trusted to strike the earth in his stead.

@DeadmanwalkingXI I've been thinking on Gunnar's Frami, Virthing, and Saemd, and I would like them added to his character sheet, please.
Frami: An orangey aura, that seems to move like a living thing as it wraps itself around Gunnar
Virthing: A cloak made of animal pelts, mostly those of the Storm Toad along with a couple patches of Gravity Tyrant skin, sewn together.
Saemd: A crown of Gravity Tyrant teeth, with two Goat Horns rising from the sides.

Good Idea!
Frami: A brown aura the shade of the dust that covers a farmer after a long day's work drapes Harald's skin and shield, clothes and tools.
Virthing: Soil seems to fall from Harald's shoulders in a cascade down to the ground.
Saemd: Harald's hair erupts into a green and brown mane of barley and flax, with golden grass shining through the underside and white blossoms wreathed around his head.
@DeadmanwalkingXI ^, when you have a moment, also Harald was 14 at year 0.

Getting back to this: Agmundr would accept a split of whatever stuff the two of them manage to dig up, if that seems acceptable to Moli?

Hmm... Is this something I will need to bring up at the next Thing? As the law did say all knowledge must be shared.

Only if you wish for clanstrife between Clan Jarnblod and Clan Farfaxung. The reasons things aren't being said about that battle is because those involved decided keeping their mouths shuts and addressing things behind the scenes was better than forcing conflict within the village by airing dirty business in public.

I'm sure if asked they'll say all they know about the creature itself, which is all the law should require.

Yeah, that is what I meant. It was all knowledge on potential dangers rather than describing the fight.

[X]Gefjosa Aslaugsdottir
-[X] Major Action: Use Bonemeal (if available) alongside her own Farming I, Plow I, and Villagefeeder Ox II to make Uncle Njal's (@mythfan12 ) farm as fertile and productive as possible this season. Specific focus on producing flax, Golden Grass, and whatever else I can get to grow. Uncle Njal and I will bury Uncle Torgarr under the field.
--[X] Minor Action: Assist Uncle Njal with the clearing of my land. While we're working together, I'd like to ask him questions about his life back in Gotland and what my father and Uncle Villagefeeder (@Sirrocco ) were like before all this.
--[X] Minor Action: Assist Harald (@OneArmedYeti ) and Agmundr (@Aabcehmu ) with fortifying my land. Try not to stare too much. Fail.
--[X] Minor Action: Attend Moli's (@Shard ) dance party with Harald. When she arrives, she hands Harald a palm sized hunk of glowcoral that has been inexpertly carved into the shape of an axe. Her fingers are bandaged. "I couldn't figure out how to carve the first field you'd ever tilled or a suit of armor or a bedbox, sorry, but I hope you'll keep this until you can make a replacement." Gefjosa tried to make it capable of absorbing a little bit of Sorrow every time its touched. Gefjosa doesn't know if she can do that but she tried.
--[X] Villagefeeder Ox Minor Action: When Gunnar (@Guest99 ) returns to life, he will find that someone has taken very good care of his land and farm while he was away. There is also a small lump of glowcoral left on his window sill. When turned at just the right angle, it looks like a child's crude attempt at carving a toad.
---[X] Passive: Spend time at Uncle Torgarr's grave.
---[X] Passive: Check out if the coral is funky or evil with Seer Sight.
---[X] Passive: Weep some but less.
---[X] Passive: Gather rocks from the Quarry after it is cleared.
---[X] Passive: Take possession of Torgarr's field's worth of flax seed and "loan" it to Harald.

I'd like to add some info onto Bjorn's character sheet:
Frami: Vines of dark green Ordstirr growing around Bjorn's body.
Virthing: A large hunter's cloak made of woven moss.
Saemd: An expressionless mask made of serpentine.
Age: 45

Not exactly. Age and power correlate, but it's mostly based on reputation. Bjorn's whole backstory is that he's a recluse nobody respected much. I think it's feasible.

Here's what I'm thinking for Agmundr's Aspects.
Frami: Simple aura of gleaming iron-gray
Virthing: A cloak of sword-tips, clasped with a pair of hands
Saemd: A crown of knives, plus a pair of hand-shaped antlers

Being very carefull and not actually going out and doing many dangerous things before now.
While age is correlative with badassery, it does not cause it.

Training can help even then, but all PCs are actually a bit above average, so that still works.
