So, does anyone want to spar with my character? It's currently one of my passives to look for a spar.

Harald would love to meet you axe against axe, he needs to practice his fundamentals.

He will agree to not use his Martial style beyond the basic stances and moves that are so ingrained in him he can't not use them, and is open to not using Soil if you agree to not use Water.

@Shard I wish to purchase some glass made from the sand here for construction purposes. Alternatively a glass figurine?

Does anyone have any copper for dyes?

Agnes answers the door with red-rimmed eyes.

"He is not here. Gone into the jungle on a quest. It is just me and the children now."

Ragnarr looks appalled "Oh no, I'm so sorry if anything involving my family prompted this. If you need anything at all while he's gone don't hesitate to at least ask, I cannot promise that your request will be granted without knowing its nature, but I do feel a debt and wish to help if I can. And I hope he returns home soon, successful."

Agnes shakes her head, before you finish your offer.

"Be at ease, Fair-spoken. I know what happened. What really happened. Halfr should not have sent Bo on such a task when he knew there was already mixed feelings among the children. If only Erik had bothered asking more questions rather than chasing the first idea he had."
She has a ghost of a smile.
"What a fool of a man and yet I love him so. We were both artisans in Gotland, you know? His father was great, one of the hird of Blackhand even and taught everything he could to Erik. But his true passion was whittling. He loved teasing designs and patterns into the things he built. He seemed at peace with his choice."

Here Agnes is full of regret. Her arms crossed low, eyes slightly haunted.

"Gotland affected us all Ragnarr. Some of us worse than others."

She walks back into the house.
 
..hm. Curiously, when Gudrun was revived, was it her 'old body' or was it new? If the latter, I wonder if something must have happened to the former... Something about potentially Draugr? Or maybe potentially 'shells' for the Hermit Crabs?

Also, just how many minor actions can we do..? I did notice we have that Threadmark do probably will do Wood Gathering Action.. despite.not having a plot of land, so probably going to forage/scavenge I guess? It feels like there's reason not to do minor actions... Yet it feels like a hassle to do a lot for QM and for me. Hmm...

Ragnarr nods sadly "It does. My offer stands nonetheless."

We had no way to retrieve the old one, so it would've been new. Old bodies of the living don't cause draugr, but we don't know about what the crabs can do.
 
@Pencrash

Are you fine to go ranging once again, or do you have plans as well?

Our third is busy searching for a stone deposit, so we will have to find another.

The Basics of Prestige
  • Informational

    • Prestige

    So, Prestige has started to come into play, so a brief explanation is in order: Prestige is the additional potential Ordstirr one gets from owning property and/or living on well kept property.

    Every 3 Prestige on a piece of property grants 1 Ordstirr per season, with any excess Prestige 'wasted' (ie: 5 Prestige grants 1 Ordstirr with no leftovers). Of this, generally 2/3 (rounded up) goes to the landholder and 1/3 to any related tenants or sworn men. Other people who live there seldom get anything.

    Now, what determines Prestige is generally pretty simple: For the most part, whatever materials were used in making a piece of infrastructure like a house add their level in Prestige. so a Basic House, made with level 1 Fasteners and level 1 Wood thus gains +2 Prestige, while one made with level 2 Fasteners and Wood would be +4 Prestige. Sometimes, other features are worth prestige on a case by case basis, but that's the basics.

    • [X] Erik Hardhead Winter 2 Action
    -[X] Major Action: Erik surveys his land more closely, examining it carefully for resources. You never know what might turn up.
    -[X] Passive 1: Erik offers to trade Njal Ulfson (realistically this will be his wife and widowed mother doing it, with Erik at most being around for the negotiations) Njal's crop of flax for spun thread. An agreement is made that however much thread they spin, Njal will receive two thirds of the spun thread, with Erik's household keeping one third. Additionally, Erik will receive enough flax seed to plant his own next summer.
    -[X] Passive 2: Erik plans out where he's going to put his grain-fields and flax-fields and maize-fields (or failing that golden-grass-field) for next season. He erects fences around some of the plots, and puts up rows of tall stakes in the (ambitiously named) maize-field. This can be done using scrub-wood and would not normally require quality timber.
    -[X] Passive 3: Per earlier agreement, Erik goes to Steinarr Stonelicker's land an empty patch near the camp and builds a structure that Steinarr plans to use as some sort of... place to... keep stones. The Norse don't have a word for "museum." The house-for-stones is quite well built, because Erik gets a bit perfectionist about it, though it's missing some things that would normally be required to make a good house.
    -[X] Passive 4: Erik harvests the timber to build this house-for-stones directly from Steinarr's property.
    -[X] Passive 5: Erik takes at least some turns on community watch and watch-tower.
    -[X] Passive 6: Visits back and forth with Cousin Bjorn, to the east, and his household.
    -[X] Passive 7: Take young cousin Trym (Age 9) along on various tasks and teach him the ropes, as it were. Make sure he's getting to see boys his own age. Meanwhile, Erik's wife Svanfrid and occasionally Erik himself take little Ingfrid (age two going on three) over to visit with some of the other very young children now and then.
    -[X] Passive 8: Erik tells Moli that he'll be happy to make the furniture if Moli can either supply the timber himself, or rhyme Steinarr Stonelicker around in circles until he agrees to let Erik gather the timber needed from Steinarr's property while Erik is building Steinarr a house for his rocks.
    -[X] Passive 9: Erik is happy to make furniture for Sigmund too, if Sigmund can supply the timber.
    -[X] Passive 10: Erik assists with looking over the ships.

    @Shard
    @Ulvlar
    (See Passives 3, 4, and 8)

    Passive 1 edited, pending discussion.

    Would Erik be willing to make furniture for Sigmund if Sigmund can supply the lumber/timber?

    So since I gained 3 Prestige from my actions this summer do I get the Ordstirr needed to get another PT?

    OOC: It's not pity, it's guilt (Ragnarr has a bunch of survivor's guilt and this situation isn't helping), but I can see why Agnes would feel that way and he has no way to clarify.

    Yeah, Agnes is not feeling too happy since her husband just left.

    (and without giving me time to give him more than a gambeson even! ٩(๑`^´๑)۶)

    Since you had the emotion kunna, I try to give you the extra info.

    I already applied it. But yeah, you get 1 extra per turn going forward.

    Thanks. I appreciate the information.
     
    [X] Winter 2, Liv
    -[X] Major action: Build a brewing workshop and try out brewing something from the different things available. Follow the instructions gathered about how to brew the maize stuff with a small amount of maize and with Golden Grass substituted for the maize. Experiment with other things found. Use water from the Reborn Spring.
    -[X] Passive 1: Support The Quest For Stone with knowledge of Architecture and Demolition as well as usage of Clearwater kunna as needed.
    -[X] Passive 2: Support Gunnar with the work around the Reborn Spring, making sure to keep the original spring as close to untouched as possible.
    -[X] Passive 3: Spend time on and in the Reborn Spring: relax in its waters, play with it using her kunna, perform weapon drills in its shade...
    -[X] Passive 4: Explore the surroundings for anything that might be usable for brewing (berries and other fruits, herbs and stuff). Maybe someone has a nana they're open to pass along?

    Since Gunnar's already on the tower, I've changed that action into something else.

    Erik looks up from the trench he's digging in an unused patch of ground beside Steinarr's house to have a level trench to lay a ring of foundation-stones down into.

    "..."
    "......"
    "............"
    "........................"
    "Oh, shit."

    "Let me go get the sledge. I'll start hauling the beams down to the coast."

    And done. By the way, is there a cap on Passives?
