For some reason my first reaction to reading this was confusion for how Mathilde could possibly interact with a character from a completely different Quest about airplanes .
It can't have been there that long, surely. @BoneyM was complaining about being compared to that arc (and the pejorative name in particular) before we even started on the Expedition. I don't remember seeing it there when the hiatus ended, at least.It's been there for a long time.
However, I do agree that it's terrible. Not only is it rather ill-fitting so far, but this quest is far better than that one!
You can keep your raging alcoholics and CKII weirdness, and we'll keep Mathilde's amazing adventures!
It is kind of neat to think that for a lot of dwarves, we're probably only recognizable by our sweet-ass Kragg-made giant belt-buckle.quite literally, considering our fancy belt buckle has drakenhof mountain on it
AFAIK it's been there since the very beginning of the expedition. Sometimes it's been removed and put back (repeatedly, I think), which sucks.It can't have been there that long, surely. @BoneyM was complaining about being compared to that arc (and the pejorative name in particular) before we even started on the Expedition.

I guess we learned and contributed.I'm thinking of this as in large part a chance for us to learn on the job from observing an expert in asymmetric warfare.
We're also smart and can be insightful and might even be able to contribute, as a bonus.
Hooray!
Yet another achievement for the list. Saving a bunch of Dwarfs (again) and even getting to take over command for Ulthar.how a bunch of Rangers hacking away at half-grown Squigs could be about to get about three hundred fleeing Goblins to the rear. "Here's what we thought was the dead end coming off it, here's that weird interwoven bit, here's the edge of the Squig caves, and if Rekthor's report is right, here is where that junction branches off towards the hall."
The expression on Ulthar's face is alarmed as he leans away from the unexpected display of manling wizardry, but then he frowns in thought and leans in close. "Oh, krut," he breathes, then leaps to his feet, shouting a stream of Khazalid at a runner nearby as he grabs his axe from the table. He pauses just for a moment to tell you to take over here as he sprints off on the heels of the alarmed runner.
It would be amazing yeah, probably hard to make it as an interactive enchantment though. However as a spell for Ulgu journeyman Wizards it would be quite nice and make them popular in battlefield support. Might even see Ulgu wizards being popular in Dwarf Holds at the rate we're going.Fucking hell we could make a fortune off of that. Marshals all over the Old World would literally pay a king's ransom for an editable, real-time 3D map of a battlespace.
Taking the food supply would be great especially since it would likely send the Skaven into panic, infighting, hoarding and cannibalism.So, I guess this would be one of the highest things on the list that could be taken to cripple the Skaven presence in Eight Peaks?
Of course, we'd have to find it first, and then seize it, and the Skaven would definitely throw as much as they could at us to prevent its loss if we do find it, but if we could, it'd probably be one of the biggest blows that could be struck against the Skaven presence here.
Eh, monofocusing the name on the map utility portion does the spell a little injustice IMO, as names can easily prejudice to a specific use and scope. This spell is just as useful for creating diagrams and models, and for our Order in particular given how magic has been described where you need great understanding and a language with incredible specicifity it seems like it would also be suitable as an aid for teaching certain aspects of magic.
