Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.

[X] Remain in Karak Eight Peaks, either in the employ of Belegar or pursuing your research.

[X] Give them away...
- [X] To the Amber College

[X] Speak with King Belegar and King Kazador about the relationships and apparent rifts between Dwarfholds.
[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.
[X] Claim the site where Ranald mugged Mork and build a shrine to Ranald there.
 
I'm really interested to see what our enchanting efforts will look like when we've got a reasonable lab set up, a proper staff and maybe the next tier of the spellbook filled out. (will a grounding rod help is in our enchanting, sort of a "we can use more ulgu safely with this" deal, or will it have no effect?)

I'm not quite sure how much better the new enchantment on our robes would be compared to the old one, though.

By the way, we seem to be rapidly progressing in Khazalid. That scene with king Kazador? There was not a word in Reikspiel spoken, unless the royal family consists of very devoted polyglots.

He barely knows the Empire is a thing. He couldn't speak a word of it in the story bit where the White Wolf made contact.

[X] King Belegar is allowing you to use the King's Armoury. Recover your extant study materials from Stirland and tuck them away safely in there.
[X] All this time away has made you miss your friends, and you'll be practically next door in Altdorf. Visit Anton and Wilhelmina.

The WFB number-crunchers have said we want to bump Magic up to 8 (most straightforwardly by learning almost all the remaining non-Battle spells) before recreating our armour robes.
Edit: IIRC that would make the robes a WFB 3+ Save, rather than the current 5+ they offer.
When we cast our own, it's 4+ currently. I don't actually know the accuracy of the 3+ thing, though.

Remaining in Karak Eight Peaks and giving the eggs to the Amber College are enjoying landslide wins, while setting up a Temple to Ranald and using the Armoury for research storage have solid leads for our first and second options. As of the most recent tally, Scouting Remaining Peaks is ahead of Visit Anton and Wilhelmina by 6 votes to decide our third action.

I remember that. However, they had several days and a Reispiel-fluent longbeard, so, hypothetically, they could have decided to learn it asap and be talented enough to suceed. Hence, the 'family of devoted polyglots' hypothesis. :V

Or [lessons in] in Khazalid?
Will happen automatically if Mathilde spends much longer among Dwarves.

Who needs a family of dwarven polyglots when one wizard polyglot can breach the language barrier with much less effort?
 
After we scout out the enemies this turn we should spend a turn down at the Empire and pick up all our required stuff and give our reports. We can also get all those other Empire actions done at the same time rather than going back and forth and losing actions due to travel time.

I'm looking forward and fearing the return of normal turns at the same time; I've got this premonition that deciding action priority is going to be a bloodbath.

I haven't had the opportunity to read the past few pages, overatlantic flights followed by 12h workdays and jetlag are not the most condutive to such things, but did we just... not choose the option to have SnekJuice brought along with us? I though half the point of getting a tower set up was to start clearing up those old research projects so I have to wonder is the wonderful Box Of Eternal Bleeding is still back at our earlier/nominal home?

Yah it's still back at Wurtbad, we originally didn't bring it cuz it's a delicate contraption and didn't want to risk it.

I think it will be more civil and neat - plan format tends to do that. This tally by line format just encourages a free-for-all.
 
Hm. Assuming that the current leading votes win, how has Mathilde spent her time while the expedition was consolidating its gains, from Belegar's perspective?


Spymaster Things: 4

External: 2
• She went with you to K-a-K and observed the situation between you and the High King.
• She reached out to King Kazador and Prince Gotri.

Internal: 2
• She and her underlings helped resolve the ongoing spider issue in Karag Lhune.
• She provided her unique, heroic level expertise in scouting the remaining enemies in K8P.

Wizard Things: 3

• She chose the Karag Nar penthouse as her personal abode and experimentation grounds.
• She and her underlings spent some time writing up inscrutable papers to send to the manling Empire.
• Returning from her trip to the Empire, she brought some strange and unnatural reagents that she promptly secreted into her lair.

Human Things: 2

• She stopped the manling mercenary contingent from dissolving into a complete mess.
• She built a tavern in the place where her strange ranger god took the grobi gods' power, apparently to honour the deed.


It's not a bad spread. It implies that we're a spymaster first, wizard close second, and a point of contact with the human mercenaries third.

youve got internal and external swapped by mistake
 
For people who are voting to visit our friends in Stirland, keep in mind that although it will not be in as much focus, there will still be visiting if we go pick up our snekjuice.

I don't much care for Stirland and I don't like the idea of going back there. But since our stuff is there, what I would like is if we would show up at Wurtbad via Dwarven Gyrobomber and leave like a boss as Roswita shows up to investigate. Just as long as we don't actually have to talk with her.

...worth blowing a favor or two on. Solely to look Like A Boss.

Hell, the pilot might appreciate doing it so Mathilde gets a little revenge. :D
