Less absurd, as mortals

ah, and as I suspected, that is a misinterpretation (but a fun 'fact' even if false)

"Houses were low because it was hard to keep them warm before the tiled stove became affordable for anyone. Experiments with viking age technology have shown that 12-14 degrees indoors during winter is the largest temperature that was worth the effort of felling enough trees, dragging them home, sawing them into suitable pieces, chopping firewood and storing it to dry for 1-1,5 years. Once the chimney and glass window made their entrances during medieval times, this improved, but not by much."

A viking would almost never opt to fight indoors. If you wanted to kill someone in a house, you set it on fire and waited for them to come outside. Besides, most people spent most of their waking time outdoors anyway, tending to crops, animals and other work that needed to be done. Houses were dark inside, often with the hole in the roof for the smoke to escape (the wind-eye) as the only source of light besides a small, smoldering fire. Going inside a house was to ask to be ambushed by someone in there whose eyes were accustomed to the darkness and knew the house inside out.

😄 I love the detail here.

Sounds like facts Symon would drop

esp. the murder bits

Symon has all the fun morbid facts

Oy. Sorry. Internet is up

Though Salma and Ellie are adorbs

HEy!

afternoon!

I have done some errands this morning, and will have to leave for a doctor appt in about an hour. Third day of vacation, and I feel pretty good about how I've been using it so far.

Catnik, think the Lovecraft appearance is happening while she and Sylvi are talking?

yes?

Yes

Symon won't interrupt. He doesn't want to be in a crowd, and three is a crowd to him 🙂

Makes sense.

And it has been VERY crowded at the Lodge for a few hours.

It has been thoroughly peopled!

Well, in Spanish:
Caterpillar: Oruga
moth: Polilla
Butterfly: Mariposa

Polly!

Mary-Posey?

I'm open to either. G Ahpuch was hoping to catch a trapped burro and whisp;er to hwo she's never getting out, mwhahaha .But his machinations are for naught

Did Lovecraft let Sylvi see her when she turned around before?

Well, she doesn't have the ability to disappear, so sure?

If it was night, maybe not

I think it's probably afternoon.

/roll 3

Okay, I've got to sign off in about 5 minutes and get going for appointment.

hugs Later, Rahne

Hey, I don't think Symon was really any less pleased than he is on a daily basis

he has a baselevel of disdain!

(Shame Wizards? Totally sluagh)

I think Sylvi's projecting there.
