This is important to consider. Hes not going to die from exsanguination, so he's not going to die fast. Even if the wound is lethal, it'll be slow and painfull.
I'm pretty sure we have time to wait.

Ranald is supposed to make our failures funny, this is not. Ranald the Protector, aid us please!

We did make a pretty nice stand over Van Hal though.
Lizardmen Bodyguard might call it a decent first try from an amateur.

No; Ranald's Blessing take place over the course of months, not minutes.
Shallya's power is stretched mighty thin. Most of the time a Shallyan can be expected to be a dedicated, patient and trusted healer. Someone who knows the ways of feeding the unconscious, of the herbs that aid fevers, and when necessary, amputations and cauterization.
Actual spellcasting priests are hard to get.
[X] The plan exists independently of Van Hal; if necessary, it will outlive him. Take command.
Opportunities to crush Sylvania don't come around often. Can't let this one go to waste.

[X] Somewhere in that town-turned-battlefield is Brother Kasmir. Leave Van Hal's side. Find him. Sigmar will heal Van Hal.
Now if we can find healing for him in time, this fight is going to be rather famous...
We got generals for this
Mathilde may be a good fighter, but she lacks the skills to actually command anything other than Charge.

Yeah. I am not comfortable with any plans that involve a badly wounded and emotionally distressed wizard using corrupted dark magic with a reputation for twisting the minds of desperate people to general evil-ness just to heal her dying lord for the sake of love and lulz.

Well played Anton, well played.
Hell of an update Boney, kudos. I was on the edge of my seat reading it. Really good drawing out of the tension. Did you go back and flesh out the opening character moments with Van Hal after the battle rolls, or had you already written it?
I do hope we survive all this, I feel a Skeleton Bane nickname is deserved. Perhaps even in Dwarf. If not, still a pretty epic way to go.

Whitout Van Hall doesn't overall comand defaults to the guy who can only order charges and is currently doing his best to give us a repeat performance ?
Can we realy afford to wait until the Generals figure out the chain of comand ? Because that sounds like the kind of suden disorganization that loses wars before you even notice.

So for some reason people aren't eager to press the button labelled "Obviously a bad idea". While not particularly surprising, I better throw my vote behind something I actually approve of.
[X] By Van Hal's side. Whatever happens.
I am really not a fan of running out into battle right now. It is essentially the third worst idea right now (out of five, so that doesn't say much), only surpassed by the "practically suicide" of running back into battle and "actually suicide" of trying to use Dhar.
We can all agree that time is of the essence here, right? No matter how things turn out, the faster we can get healing to Van Hal, the better. And by extension, we can also agree that any combat is to be avoided, right? Not only would even a small skirmish cost us valuable time, but Mathilde's currently badly wounded and probably only one or two poor rolls away from ending up like her boss.
So we'd need to find Kashmir swiftly and sneakily. Which is not inherently a problem, doing that's basically the centerpoint of our build. At our peak, this would be easy. But we're far from our peak right now. Not only are we badly injured (enough to inflict a -10 debuff through an adrenaline rush), but we're also quite haunted mentally. And a frazzled mind is not one that should cast spells. We've been repeatedly reminded that there's no such thing as a risk-free spell, and this is probably the riskiest situation to cast spells in (again, not counting leading in the actual Dhar).
Not to mention that even if we manage to find KAshmir without suffering meaningful losses, we still run the very real risk of Van Hal dying while we're out searching. Meaning that we essentially left him to die alone for nothing. And that's not a layer of guilt that Mathilde needs.
We've hired the mages. We've sent the couriers. We've done all that we could, solet's not break our back trying to surpass our limits.

Might be hard to hear over the screams of both the dying and the dead.

While it is certainly a risky decision it seems appropriate for someone with the Brave trait to start cutting her way through the battlefield until she encounters the priest yelling Sigmar the loudest.
