Speaking to Gabrial, who can usually be found in the Amber Mead Inn, and saying "I bet I could beat you in a brawl" gives the option to fight him. You first have to pay 100 Gold, and then you can fight, using neither weapons nor magic. If you win, speak to Gabrial again, and he will give you 200 Gold. It's a good idea not to do this when the inn is crowded, or you could accidentally hit someone else, increasing your bounty in Falskaar.
For every log put through the sawmill in Amber Creek, the town lumberjack, Oudin, will pay 10 Gold.
Varrina, the young girl at the Amber Mead Inn in Amber Creek, has certain new recipes she can teach you. Ask her "Can you teach me how to cook anything?" and she will give you the first one. In each case, make the recipe up and take it back to Varrina. She will take the finished item and, for the first four, she will then give you another recipe. Asking Varrina for another list simply gives you the current recipe you need to make.
The recipes are:
Recipe: Varrina's Special Stew - This requires Salmon Meat, Salt Pile, Cabbage and Bread. The stew will restore 20 points of Health and 20 of Stamina when eaten.

This beef restores 60 Health when eaten, and 2 Stamina and 2 Health per second for 540 seconds.
Recipe: Wine Basted Beef - This one uses a Venison, a Salt Pile, 2 Apples and an Alto Wine. It will restore 2 points of Health and 2 of Stamina a second for 900 seconds as well as increase carrying capacity by 20 for 900 seconds.
