[QUOTE=Malacandra] ESP is second level, the same as for wizards. IIRC I’ve made Detect Magic an orison [/QUOTE] Would it be appropriate for either you or Appleciders to list Ivar’s extra spells? (I’m concerned about avoiding confusion.) P.S. Is Jorund still injured? ---

“Osvald tea good . . . Me ready for bed tmmorow last long” Jorund gets up and since his bed roll is on the ship heads that way.Hey if Jorund is doing something stupid make sure to tell him. Not to mention keeping him out of the mead he’s just looking at the moment ---

With a comfy bed and a Rune-Priest to look him over, he’ll have slept that off by sun-up. If \*\*Appleciders \*\* wants to list his spells for discussion that’s fine by me. ---

Well it looks like we kinda worked our way into a corner. Is it morning? Jorund grabs a rod and heads down to the coast to catch some fish but brings along a small cask to keep himself company if the fish aren’t biting ---

Bjarni wanted to know if the Herald had ever heard of Kim. (Osvald will bring another cup of tea to charm the Herald. 😉 ) Ulf suggests we ask Rolf Red-Beard and Henrik Larsen to join us. Unless Kim decides to show himself, Ulf is then turning in for the night. Big day tomorrow as we set off into the unknown! ---

Edited to add: “Osvald will also head to bed to rest himself up EVENTUALLY (didn’t see the previous post) He’ll first deal with the Herald.” (and get to load up on his spells again) Ruminate on paying better attention to the other voices now in his head other than himself. At least his own voice will have company! Also, he is quite pleased with Henrik’s behavior during the Tea Ceremony. Perhaps he will make an excellent Bodyguard and be willing to listen to Osvald babble onwards about anything and everything (Poor guy 🙂 ) in the journey to come. I will Email you my spell list to load up ---

Before morning, Ivar will cast all his healing spells on the berserkers and Bjarni, just to make sure. In the morning, Ivar will load: O: 1xTorchlight, 4xCure Minor Wounds 1: 1xBless, 4xCure Light Wounds 2: 2xCure Moderate Wounds ---

But **please let us know what spells you load** - it really helps us play better as a team: (e.g. you conjure something and we attack it by mistake.) Ulf: If you take Henrik as a Bodyguard, how about Redbeard for Ivar. Is that OK with everyone? ---

There seems to be nothing more to find out at the Settlement, and the next day dawns showery but soon clearing with a fresh breeze for sailing. The herald’s party pack up and move off - they weren’t here to socialise. (They knew nothing about Kim. The herald already remarked that it is a foreign name.) With Black Snake loaded and ready, and eighteen thralls chosen for crew, you put her into the water and slip off down the fjord. Behind you, the early morning sun clears the low cloud, and a bright rainbow appears, seeming to span the fjord in front of you as though it were a bridge you must sail under. Time passes with little incident. Although you are unable to trade in Viking waters, the Jarl’s mandate doesn’t run all the world wide or anything like it. You are now off the southern English coast and there is a port you know quite well in the land of the South Saxons. At the moment your respective nations are at peace and you could exchange some of your salt/smoked fish and whale oil for wool, which is the major trade good here. You could also get something to eat here other than preserved fish or fresh fish, both of which are none the worse for a change. (Ivar can _create food_ and you can live on it indefinitely, but it gets mighty dull very quickly.) ---
