Pall of Darkness + the Amber berserk spell is hilarious on enemy monstrous units...

Watch as they end up earning enough gold that they settle for just take a chest full of it because the cost to transport, and guard it would be ruinous.

Amber wizards can do the following potentially useful things at the journeyman level:
- Instantly break the will of an animal of a type which can be domesticated
- Heal animals
- Panic small groups of enemies, but not as well as we can
- Buff themselves
- Shapeshift into a wolf, raven, or horse
- Rally fleeing allies within 48 yards (probably the most important application for them in mass battles, particularly where enemies might deploy fear effects)
- Talk to animals
- Command animals briefly
Gold wizards can do the following potentially useful things at the journeyman level:
- Debuff enemies
- Buff themselves
- Divine things about mundane items
- Craft and break items
- Shoot enemies (2-3 per round, about as good as several crossbowmen)
- Give nearby allies rerolls
Bear in mind, however, that for most of her Journeyman career Mathilde knew very, very few spells. These guys could know ~2 spells or more like ~10 depending upon how far into their journeyman period they are, and miscast is almost certainly a serious risk for a good chunk of their known spell list.

If a memoir or series of novels is published by a halfling detailing there adventures would our protagonist end up as the equivalent to Gandalf or simply a side character?

On the one hand, it sounds like the (VAST HORDE OF) Stirlanders could use a bit of leadership, or just a figurehead.
But on the other hand, wizards. Whom Dwarves mistrust in general.
From what I can gather via skimming, Gold Wizards are strongly materialistic, and very fond of shinies.
Amber Wizards, meanwhile, are basically anarcho-tribalistists who live out the wilderness, and don't care about ridiculous civilized trappings like "money".
...I suspect that trying to get them to do anything, especially together, will mostly result in headaches.
Many, many headaches.
Still, if we work with the wizards, we can (probably?) attach our small troupe to any of the larger army groups who could use help. If we go with the Stirlanders, the wizards will likely do their own thing; probably not very effectively.
It'll be a learning experience, I'm sure.

If the Dwarfholds rolled poorly, it sounds like they could use a few rerolls. And Mathilde happens to specialize in delivering messages speedily and reliably.
Bring some more cannons, please. We like cannons.

My thought was that it was a political play. By showing how the Moot repeatedly contributes to the good of the empire they seek to curb Stirland revanchism. Whenever the current Stirland Elector Count or nobles turn their eyes towards the Moot they can ask why they turn against one of the empire strongest allies instead of purging Sylvania, particularly after the previous Stirland campaign which broke the greatest vampire stronghold in Sylvania.

I think there's supposed to be some lost dwarf hold that fell to chaos or something in the Middle Mountains, which lie in both the problem provinces. Perhaps some ancient evil awoke in the mountains and is causing the problems, but poor rolls resulted in Nordland and Middenland pointing fingers at each other.
That, or Skaven.

Guys the best use of our time would be to deliver messages and getting more support for the expedition.
Even a hundred more dwarves coming would be more useful then trying for the familiar bond which isn't guaranteed to form right now.

Makes sense to me. Let's herd some kids, and handle the manling magic contribution. Since we are going into the wastes, the beast wizards are likely to be more important to start with, we want our familiar attempts to start ASAP and we need more cannon for this to work. Let's give it a whirl.

Maybe, but there aren't many human settlements in the Middle Mountains because of all the monsters. And that wouldn't cause a simultaneous schism within the Cult of Ulric (assuming that the two events are linked of course).
The conflict seems to be near the old Drakwald Forest.
Could the Ulrican Cult be killing Nordlanders?

Having a really great time right now
The campaign also only has one terrifying Stirland commander that reduced Drakenhof to rubble, whispered of in the dark night as being everywhere at once.
The Grand Theogonist and the Ar Ulric are having a power play, with Middenland and their allies backingthe Ar Ulric and Nordland and their allies backing the Grand Theogonist.
Last we heard it was practically a religious civil war
To the point that the knights dedicated to Ulric just left Middenland in disgust. To the point that the Grand Theogonist refused to send any assistance to striking at the heart of vampire power as a Sigmarite.
There may be something involved with the Queen and her involvement in a conspiracy...but it smells sort of like a very nearly typical Lahmian plot if you were shadowrunning
