Warhammer Fantasy: Divided Loyalties - an Advisor's Quest

[X] There's a lot of prime real estate currently unclaimed. Stake out a prime position for a wizard's tower.
[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.
[X] Travel to Karaz-a-Karak with King Belegar for the striking out of several well-aged grudges.

I don't usually like our intrigue actions anywhere near as much as our learning actions, but doing them with Belegar sounds really cool, and how many humans could say that they've been inside the Karaz-a-Karak? Even with our ludicrously high dwarven reputation score that's still something worth bragging about.

Mostly, I'd like to see Mathilde get some research done. But I'd like following up on the "Priestess of Ranald" stuff we've been doing, too, so that also makes my list.

I like the sound of a united 8 Peaks.

That last battle was rather anti-climactic, but enjoyable all the same.

That's exceptionally useful to keep in mind and I think we all should remember it when discussing this vote.

Now.
Now. What do we want the most? That's not an easy decision by any means.

All of these are fine with me. Still that was one hell of an expedition. I'm glad we choose to come here.

It's very probable that Mathilde is the human with the most Dwarf favor in the world right now. Let's go see the epic sight of Grudges being struck from the Book of Grudges.

Remember the idea about making a tavern (totally not a temple of Ranald) where all the mercenaries can rest, find the group and a quest?
That's what I want to do. Mathilde being a spymaster/point of contact for humans/a coordination point for adventurers/local chosen of Ranald.

With plenty of research into gribblies, skaven nonsense and other artifacts, plenty of good fights, of course...but I really really want this tavern, honestly.

I am thinking we get back to the original quest in that we go back to being an advisor again

I want to up our rep in the empire once again.

Sound suppression, and if we can manage it, flash suppresion or armor piercing.

Suppressor is right out, most revolvers basic design makes it impossible.

A flash suppressor is possible, in theory.

AP wise is the real issue, that's the bullet itself. You need something hard, no doubt.

This does not preclude us helping K8P, and is in fact the best in that it put some us in a position to both study and help.

It's nice to cap off the expedition by clowning on one more set of orks.

I'm broadly interested in helping Belegar out, with a side-order of exploring this new mixed human-dwarf polity. And I'd love to do some Skaven research on the side...

[ ] You've been out of touch for a while. Head to Barak Varr and then Altdorf, and catch up with what's been happening in the Empire.
We're in a bit of an awkward place for this: Not in Stirland. Any of Stirland's allies that hire us would slight Roswita. Any of Stirland's enemies wouldn't hire a Stirlandian noble. Given the ongoing civil war, this leads not many elector counts. Maybe the Moot?

[ ] Not every sellsword will accept King Belegar's offer of employment. Travel with them.
No interest here.

[ ] You're going to have a rough time explaining your windfall to the Bursars. Better to get that over with.
Little interest. most likely doing the same stuff as in one of the dwarven options, but with new people, and we don't get to choose what.

[ ] Join Karak Azul as they raid and scout in force the other portions of the Karak.
Not where we're most effective.

[ ] There's a lot of prime real estate currently unclaimed. Stake out a prime position for a wizard's tower.
What I would do, but I'm not Mathilde.

[ ] You could help the Undumgi and the Ulricans establish themselves.
No particular reason to that we'd be particularly good at this.

[ ] Write a series of papers on the magical phenomena you witnessed. Or better yet, get your Journeymanlings to do the actual writing.
We have more interesting things to research than this.

[ ] All this time away has made you miss your friends. Visit Anton and Wilhelmina.
We'd be bored out of our minds, or alternatively at risk of being arrested for all the spying we'd get up to preventing the boredom.

[X] Travel to Karaz-a-Karak with King Belegar for the striking out of several well-aged grudges.
While we can setup a spy network, we're much more effective going out and spying ourselves.

[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.
This, with a side order of research sounds best.

I'm fine with either spymaster job. We do probably need to take a 1/2 year off in a few to visit the grey order and deliver research.

@BoneyM, I'm curious. You previously stated that College was ok with Mathilde joining the expedition to burn out youthful energy, how long will that excuse last before they start asking us to do College things? Or will they look favorably on us becoming an advisor to a Dwarf king?

@BoneyM if we wanted follow up on the idea of creating Standard Issue Quest Start Tavern in K8P, where we act as a mix of spymistress and a point of contact/quest giver for adventurers, which options should we choose?

Ranger style scouting ftw.

While I want to do almost all of them on some level, I think these three are the ones I'd most enjoy as our actual main job:

All in 8-peaks, all not tying us to the whole "murder skaven and greenskins all the time" thing as a day job, which, while fun, doesn't really seem super healthy as a long term focus.

Considering how much more reliable and appreciative the dwarves are of us than the humans in the Empire, I'd rather stick with the dwarves than go back there. Dwarvish civilization may be looking to rise again from its decline, but we're more assured to see that rise happen if we continue to assist. Plus, given how it was dwarvish cannons that destroyed that vampiric castle and forces that killed our liege, I'd admit we definitely owe the dwarves some measure of loyalty, a measure they deserve far more than the petty nobles of the empire do.

I'm mainly split between between these two options, (choosing the spymaster ones because it plays to our talents) because while on one hand, it would be nice to personally help reclaim the eight peaks more, on the other, working as a spymaster specializing in foreign relations means we can use our efforts to help bind dwarvish civilization together and perhaps even address the long standing grudges against the chaos dwarves.

I'm leaning towards the latter soooo...

Seems like Ulgu enchantments on the weapon itself would be uniquely suited for silencing and flash-suppressing a gun.
