To add to my previous point. These two aren't that hard to find correspondences. Aqshy is the wind of passion, and passion is usually loud. As for sleep, I imagine that a Bright Wizard casts you into a dream of glory and lust, with the side effect that you have

Actually seems like the least risky plan, and surer than Fire (as that takes time to catch and they might rush the Citadel anyway).
The only downside of Shadow is that the Mercs go from Highest to High morale.

Mmm, yeah, and that's in a way why it's best. Morale is high enough that a drop is far from a gamebreaker.

I think it came up when I was reading the article for the hedgefolk.

No, this logic leads to the assertion that the "Anything longer in any dimension than a meter, or heavier than 10kg/22lbs, will be much more difficult to cast this upon; anything more than twice that is approaching the limits of possibility." limitation in the spell description is nonsense and it isn't. There is clearly something that makes people-and-their-stuff inherently easier to affect with the spell than their simple mass would indicate.
Is there any reason that Mathilde couldn't just use a rope for any parts of the descent too large to use Skywalk? The cliff is sizable, but she's going downward and nothing stops her from using a rope to assist in that. Also, some-to-most of anything she carries can be rendered weightless. The rangers are absolutely certain to have quality cliff-climbing gear available due to their profession and could even anchor it for her if she's never used pitons and such, or give her a short crash course. With the entirety of the Caldera edge plus the slopes of two mountains to choose from there is surely somewhere that will be a viable location for a descent.
After that it's just a bit of walking with magic for disguise and stealth, and she's got to walk that distance anyway. The Citadel orcs are shooting those who approach but Grobi Town is dense and comes pretty close to the walls so there's a lot of cover there and getting past one set of their sentries is certainly much easier than walking through their entire fortress. For some plans, like Fire, we wouldn't even need to get all the way to the Citadel walls.
This just seems vastly more practical and less dangerous than walking directly through an fortress full of enemies which know they're surrounded by enemies and are feeling twitchy, infiltration magic or not.

We've also got a smithy, and a shrine. Not that it's very important.
Shadow actually puts us, a single wizard, in front of Ork stampede with an anti-stampede spell. It's not safer than explosive plan IMO; if the stampede prevails, we're in the same kind of danger.
Excessive morale can also be a two edged sword. We don't want to be overtaken by victory disease and become overconfident.
That's how hedge folk use petty magic. However, I don't think most wizards are taught to use Earthbound magic save Gold Magic Alchemists and they use Chamon in the process.
That makes the engineer a problem them, as he probably has twenty kilos of explosives and gear,
Yes, because she's carrying a giant bag that's bigger than she is.
...only that I forgot that ropes were a thing that exist.
Won't we be casting it clear on the other side of the citadel though? Like totally out of the stampedes path?
No it doens't. BoneyM has clarified that Mathilde can stand at the east side of the Citadel and cast the spell touching it. The orcs in Grobi-Town are on the other side of the Citadel and would never see her.

Wait.
So we can, in fact, make Dwarf-Balloon and then climb down, bypassing the Citadel?
Classic GM mistake. I'm with you there.
It would require getting right up against either the north or south side of the Citadel so you could work inside the shadow it casts, but yes, you could.
Wait, no, afternoon. Hmm, actually no, since Take No Heed wouldn't cover abseiling.

I dont know if you understand how much gold this is.
Our entire debt to the eic is about 1000 gold.
our journeyman workshop cost less than 200 gold.
5k is a very generous amount of gold to invest already.

How about instead of
- Walk from Karag Lhune to Citadel
- Go through/around Citadel to Grobi Town
- Sabotage!
- Descend from Karag Lhune into Caldera
- Walk from the Caldera part of Karag Lhune's base to Grobi Town
- Sabotage!
Huh. Well the biggest cost is probably going to be the massive amount of runic protections we'd probably want for the place, just in case everything goes horribly wrong. That and probably dwarf tier tools. Could be really expensive.

Nah, we won all of this gambling.
