@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?

Once K8P becomes a Karak rather than an Expedition - ie, starting now - you serving a Dwarven King is considered an unambiguous good for the Empire's foreign relations, so they'll be fine with it.

@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?

Leading the Undumgi would make you basically mayor of Karag Nar, and thus able to tavern your heart out.
 
[X] There's a lot of prime real estate currently unclaimed. Stake out a prime position for a wizard's tower.

I want to do research and enchanting work.
 
[X] Travel to Karaz-a-Karak with King Belegar for the striking out of several well-aged grudges.
[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.

im fine with most of the karak 8p options tbh but these two interest me the most, i want Mat to see the Dwarven capital.

[X] All this time away has made you miss your friends. Visit Anton and Wilhelmina.
This suggests a future in Stirland, whether Roswita likes it or not.

[X] You're going to have a rough time explaining your windfall to the Bursars. Better to get that over with.
This suggests a future performing an assignment the Grey Order thinks is suited to you.

[X] 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.
This suggests a future seeking employment on the Council of an Elector Count.

These are the options I am interested in, since while I obviously like our Dwarven friends I would prefer to not stick around permanently. Now coming down to help on occasion is fine but I am itching to get back to the intrigue of the Empire with various human political machinations.

Let's do some research. And maybe make some new friends. If Mat setlles down a bit, she'll still be available for consults, she'll have Halflings and ex mercs to Ranald, and we can get started on research.

EDIT: While I agree we want an eventual return to check in on stuff in the Empire, I think now is prime time to study/train/make a family/contacts.

Frankly there is a [censored] I'd like to spend some time on. I don't think anything else we can do is nearly as important.

Missing that STRUCTURE of being attached to leadership, or I suppose being leadership in the case of the Undumgi haha. I'm more hopeful for the dwarf options, but I kinda hope the Find A New Elector Count option wins, if only to laugh when whoever it is gets a big ol' heaping pile of Mathilde Shenanigans dropped in their lap as a spy upgrade.

I am honestly okay with any of the options winning. They all seem interesting and this whole quest is just so good. Thank you @BoneyM .

While being an advisor to a Dwarf Karak would help in regards to our Grey College obligations, I prefer the more independent methods of helping the Empire that attention tied to an advisory position. And we all crave independence of sorts.

That said, all of us want at least in part to continue to help in Eight Peaks. But we also have research to do, and something excellent suited to helping us in it with the coin. Ergo, wizard tower is best. We can still probably set up the Ranald tavern even without being effective mayor of Karag Nar. It's helpful for Eight Peaks as a hub, we have the money for it, and we have the respect of the men (I think)

tfw we are defacto ambassador from humans to one of major dwarven holds and diplomacy is our weakest stat

Yeah, do want for sure. It's an amazing place to explore, to meet new and interesting people from Araby to Cathay, and to probably have to spy on all of them at one point or another.

I wanna do some real magical mad science shit.

I mean we've got a source of Qhaysh we've done fuck all with, what the hell motivated that set of decisions exactly?

That shits a gold mine and a potential revolution for human magic use, considering Qhaysh is the only real equal of Dhar.

Why have we not done everything we could to research it?

And skaven techno-sorcery is one of thier big advantages over.... pretty much everyone else, figuring out if its possible to replicate it without warpstone is essential.

The research vote has a fair point. I do want to get that sorcery research off the ground.
 
Hmm...i unfortunately doubt the thread will go for them, but personally i'd prefer either stirland or another elector count in the end, as i feel the K8P advisor options will be a bit too much focus on battle and the like for my tastes (i'd like to get back to more intrigue-y and stewardship-y stuff with less outright fighting, personally), but for now i'll just approval vote for those i'd be more ok with out of the immediate options

Edit: with the switch to 3 winning votes, gonna drop the two i think most likely to make it in anyway (the research ones)

Yeah, I can certainly get where people voting for research are coming from. Not even against it really, I just really want to be mysterious questgiver for new adventurers and to make that Ranaldian tavern.

I can't decide between these.
 
... Is it weird if I felt kinda bad for the orcs?

HOW I APPLY HEAD TO DORF!?!?

But what to do now... Oh yeah!
[><] Do what you should have done months ago, decipher the ancient mysteries of Life and Death to become the second coming of Nagash!
It would be wildly offbrand for me not to do this

Right, now for the actual, legal vote.

Yes yes, deep in the mines with lots of shadows and where a few 'accidental' explosions of magical energy won't harm anyone.

This here, could be home.
We have people we like, people we could become good friends with.
We have opportunity for research and profit alike.
And most of all, we are doing a lot of good by helping the Dawi retake this, by opposing the Greenskins and Skaven.
