Gather other god shards and feed them to Khaine that gets eaten by Khorne thereby tieing Eldar afterlife to Chaos again and threathens to keep it that way until Eldar capitulates to him and since they won't he does feed Eldar to Khorne via Khaine and causes a 3rd Eye of Terror to form.
There is no boundaries to stupidity and Ahra has shown himself to be fully committed in that regard, thus we need him dead because he is 100% guaranteed to double down after this mess and I don't want to know what could be worse than "Khorne would have gained a fully powered body, a claim to Eldar souls and war, and be coming for the rest of the shards of Khaine right now" which was, effectively, what he was going for.

he's mantling khain, so he's a decently powerful god right now. worse, fate will bend to see him victorious. he's more or less guaranteed to find ways to be relevant until he's truly slain.

Khorne's golden scenario was a permanent avatar and would have made him the new Eldar god of war.
So that was worse.

Before lin dies would you consider saving that one Eldar god from nurgle's domain?

We've been trying to do that so Isha can save Lin, but its not that simple, we can't just rush in and rescue her and Lin's less than useless for helping in that situation.
As you may have noticed, we're not playing "Empire of Ashes Quest" here, so we literally can't decide to try and save Isha, however much we might want it.

Chief Administrator of Avernus
With the death of Signe you have to select your next Chief Administrator. There are three main candidates, your Vizier Rosalinda Orlov, the Head of the Department of Health Isaac Gros and the Head of the Department of Industry Martinus Argall. You could also pull back Syr from her current position in the Navy and give her the position.
note if you choose Vizier Rosalinda Orlov also chose who replaces him as your assistant from among the others
[] Select Rosalinda Orlov

[] Select Rosalinda Orlov
Vizier Rosalinda Orlov
Age: 322, rejuved to 25
M: 8- Vizier Orlov lacks the talent for making on the spot life or death decisions for others required for combat command, and has a habit of freezing if she finds herself having to make them.
I:17+3=20- Vizier Orlov is good at keeping secrets and basic office intrigue, though she lacks both the experience and mindset for anything more.
A:18+10=28 -Vizier Orlov spent over a century leading Avernus' Department of Construction, one of the most challenging positions in the Avernite Administratum. In this time project of all sizes were reliably finished on time and under budget.
L: 17+3=20-Vizier Orlov has a very good education within her fields and a passable one outside of it.
P: 12+4=16 -Vizier Orlov has a strong will and a level of faith in the Emperor.
D: 17+11=28 -Vizier Orlov switches between being a a cheerful and highly professional Administratum Adapt and a wild and flirtatious party-girl, and gets on with those around her no matter her current persona.
C: 13+16=29- While not counted among Avernus' greats Vizier Orlov skill and luck has been enough to survive centuries of life on Avernus, a feat that few can claim.
(47/7=7)
Avernite Bi-centenarian (+6C, +2P, +1I, -2D when dealing with non-Avernites) – Having survived two centuries of life on Avernus Rosalinda has proven herself to be an expert warrior, the bearer of a strong will and very alert to danger.
Beautiful (+2D, slightly more likely to persuade people of the opposite sex) – Rosalinda Orlov's fiery red hair, brilliant green eyes and lithe dancers build has earned her many admirers over the decades.
Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion Rosalinda Orlov has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Survivor of the Crimson Skies (+1P, +2C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Second Daemonic Incursion Rosalinda has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Administratum Adept (-1M, +5A, -1C)- Rosalinda Orlov is a fully trained Administratum Adept who is intimately familiar with the rules of bureaucracy and is capable of managing it with the finesse that only someone who has developed a natural talent for the art can display.
Master Architect (+3L, +4A, +2D, -25% building price)- Rosalinda Orlov is an incredibly experienced and gifted architect, whose ability to consistently complete project on time and under budget has been repeatably demonstrated.
Expert Rifleman (+1M, +3C, +30 to ranged combat rolls with rifles)- Rosalinda Orlov has relied on her skills with a standard issue rifle to survive centuries of life on Avernus, and so far her skills have not yet let her down.
Lucky (+2C, far less likely to die)- Rosalinda has had a consistent stream of good luck in life and death situations, one that has been tested and found not to be a result of latent psychic talent.
Work Hard, Party Hard (+1A, -1P, +3D)- While on the job Rosalinda is hardworking and highly professional. When off the job she spends what time she can in some of Avernus' wildest nightclubs. When asked about it she claims she wants to live her life to the fullest and die without the regrets that she has seen in so many others at their death.
Dancer (+3D, +1C)- Rosalinda Orlov has always loved dancing in all of its forms, and become very skilled at it over the years. The control over her body that this has left her with has proved to be useful in combat situations.
Manipulator (+2I, +1D)- Rosalinda Orlov has developed a talent for manipulating others using her words and actions.
Trained by the Best (+2C)- After reaching her current position Vizier Rosalinda Orlov has been trained by and beside some of the greatest heroes of Avernus, which has developed her combat skills significantly.
Rosalinda Orlov was born in the formative years of the Imperial Trust, just two years after the Emperors death to a well off Avernite family in The Fens. While she had a passion for dancing from a young age her skills in that field were not enough for her to go professional, so she sought out other fields of work. Eventually she settled on joining the Administratum, where she prospered due to her combination of good organisational skills and intelligence along with good people skills.
Eventually Rosalinda Orlov became a rising star in the Department of Architecture, where at the age of a hundred and ten she gained the attention of Prefetus Secondus Edvin Dieuwer, the Department Head. Under his mentor-ship she became a skilled architect as well as as administrator until she was eventually slated to replace him as Department Head after his promotion to Chief Administrator of Avernus. Since then she has continued to run the Avernite Department of Architecture, maintaining its reputation as one of the best run Departments of Avernus.
Rosalinda sometimes seems like she has two different personalities, though you know it is rather a talent for compartmentalization. On the job she is a strictly attired, utterly professional woman who seems to live for her job. When off-duty Rosalinda wears scandalous clothing and spends her time dancing and partying at a wide range of Avernus' wildest nightclubs and social scenes, though as she has gained in rank she has less and less time to do this. While this presents a strange dichotomy in her life it is by no means the strangest way of dealing with the stress of living on Avernus that you have seen.

Lets not pull one of the Trust's best admirals and generals away from her post...
I'm leaning Gros.
@Durin
1. Would Gros be able to complete the medical revamp that the professor started given his extreme amounts of experience in that field now?
2. Do Juvnat actions count as medical actions? More curiosity than anything?

Some interesting choice. At first glance: Isaac Gros is my lean, he is a med guy and likely will open up pop growth projects. Rosalinda on the other hand is all about building and a solid choice as well.
Gros: Master Medical Administrator (+1A, +3L, +1% population growth, -15% medical projects price)
Gros: Master Medical Administrator (+1A, +3L, +1% population growth, -15% medical projects price)
[X] Select Isaac Gros
Best odds of survival. No point going for some awesome trait when they are unlikely to last long enough for it to have an impact.
I thought about Rosa too ( saving 25 percent on all building actions would be useful) but Gos can stay alive and 1 percent population growth.

Bzzzzzz
Gros and Rosalinda are almost tied in admin, but Rosalinda has hive construction cost down. We could take Gros as our Vizier and do his special medical projects that way.

So, was thinking about Lin and what we should do with him, given that this outcome is unlikely to result in Isha being freed soon enough to heal him.
Now, the odds of us actually getting him to transcend are pretty low, but I think we can beat the 1-5% chance from successfully healing or critting on healing Guilliman.
I know people are rightly hesitant about looking into the Sea or the Well of Fate (or whatever the other one that's dangerous to Lin is), but I don't think writing them off entirely is sensible at this juncture. As things stand and without outside assistance, the breakdown on success odds is 60% success chance, 20% just lose Lin, 20% lose Lin and face a bad Incursion style threat, and 1% Bad End—minus the Bad End and Incursion style threat for the Well of Fate (in return for lower likely benefits from success). Not odds I'd want to roll the dice on for sure. However, these odds are not at all fixed—we can still improve our chances with more traits as well as outside assistance.
Continuing to investigate gods and forbidden lore is likely to get Lin a paragon trait with some relevance to said investigations, and I would be shocked if said paragon trait wasn't worth at least the equivalent of +20 on the roll. Add in the assistance we might be able to get from elsewhere (such as the Eldar and/or a relevant Avernus bigwig, who would likely be much more willing to help than if it was a lower chance/potential catastrophe scenario) and they might reach the level of only fail on a nat 1—and possibly without even having a chance of a Bad End on the Sea action. I think we can agree that there are two reasons the consensus is not to do those actions—the potential Bad End and the too-high chance of losing Lin prematurely. If we can remove those issues suddenly the options look a whole lot better.
Now why do those actions? Aside from their direct benefit in increasing our knowledge about very important things, they give us rolls for Transcendence. Which wouldn't be a huge deal if each was 1% or so, but each roll increases the odds of the next roll for the same type of transcendence. As both of those and healing Guilliman seem like likely Piety transcendence rolls, three successes without any crits should still get us above a 10% chance of Transcending—not good odds by any stretch, but not bad either.
Of course, this all presumes getting a relevant Paragon trait and having some way to mitigate the 1% odds of a Bad End. Thing is, the actual actions that would get us those short of the direct setup are things we have a very good reason to do anyway—there is a lot of divine research we'd like to do, including the most recent bit where looking into the Phoenix Avatars and looking into which of their gods could be resurrected. All moving in this direction requires is that we don't try to devote all of Lin's actions to the peace project.
