Turn 2: Year 11 - 20
((New Rule: A Single Person can only attend 4 Fields at any given time))
Stafalint Family((Seriously? 3 Sixes in a row? i should change away from random.org)
The Stafalint Family prospers in the following years and mightily so. Although the Thirdboy is born sickly Olaf makes up more for that. Strong as an Ox he helps the family as good as he can and years of unprecedented good Harvests following Olaf develops quite the Knack for Farming along with Astrid, who is oddly enough picking up some tricks from her son.
Meanwhile Rolf is sent to his Blacksmith Apprenticeship for which the Stafalints have to pay dearly. The Blacksmith has to be bribed to take in the Sickly Boy and tools and equipment has to be bought from a roving trader since the Blacksmith has only one set of tools. All in all this amounts to 1 Gold, plus 2 Silver anually to pay the fare for Rolf.
Despite the outrageous price the Stafalints have grown to be the richest family in Finsterforst and one with the largest fields, if they want they could even buy animals and more so some Farmhands since Olaf and Astrid barely manage to keep the fields attended themselves. A new housee might be practical too especially since its getting cramped in the small hovel and the yet unnamed little boy is not really growing up in a healthy household.

The Bern family prospered greatly and has become one of the largest landholders in Finsterforst. It has become so much land that they have hired two farmhands while Ballard builds new Hosues to rent. Indeed they even have the most real estate. All in all 3 Families live on their property, the Torvalds and the Yerrins both of which one family member works as farmhand and the Hortwins who clear a field every year.
