This kinda makes it sounds like we'll be providing our Undumgi mercenaries with Halfling prostitutes.

If the spiders are kept around, a more permanent solution to communication is almost certainly your next task.
Runic items have slots, btu I don't think normal ones do. We also don't need to use them simultaneously. When Mathilde needs inspiration she uses that item. When she needs to think things through logically, she uses Law of Logic. When she's checking her work for errors she uses Trial and Error. Those are all different stages of an extended project. We just swap them based on the precise task at hand, so only one is worn at a time.

Now is a good time to ask for an epic weapon worth telling tails of. I'm happy to trust the Dwarves to make us a weapon that suits our style or one that is worth the effort to learn to use. That said, we are one of the only people in living memory to use a Runefang in battle, and if *someone* wanted to show off, we could talk about the comparison if the new weapon was a blade.

Isn't it slightly hopeful to think that recommending they reforge the gromril into a commemorative piece would result in them making it into an item for us, even if we "coincidentally" order a 25 cost sword at the same time?
It'd be kinda depressing if we hand over the relic, say "oh... by the way... I was thinking about getting an awesome sword made for me."
and Kragg turns around and says, completely poe faced, "For such a thing you would need to secure us a source of Gromril, manling. oh? this stuff? It's being made into barrels for Karak Eight Peaks' first brew of ale."

Arcane items that is items with bound spells don't take up slots iirc. It's like having an earthing rod or a scroll of dispel or a potion of toughness.

[X] [RUNE] 25 Favour Sword
Because apparently everyone is spelling favor wrong, and it amuses me. We swing dat bling kill stik at em humies. Edit: I understand that favour is the older, more popular version of the spelling. But in school I was criticized harshly for spelling it as such. My grandmother who raised me used very old English/Irish sounding words. And I was strictly taught by her to write one way, and had to spend most of my school years unlearning that. Seeing it spelled differently from what was acceptable in class felt naughty and amusing to me.

I think we're going to just have to disagree on this.
I was talking in more general terms, and generally speaking? Dwarves like their tales of heroes and great battles, not sneaky stealthy rangers.

Actively inviting Chamon to rearrange your thought patterns is perhaps something that should be considered carefully, after all the time and effort Mathilde has gone through to align her mind with Ulgu.

@TotallyNotEvil has explored the thematics and narrative potential more than I possibly could- that sense of myth making is just way too powerful and evocative to pass up.
Are we any less of a wizard for using our magic to enable us to sneak around than we would be handing out Pits of Shade like we're Oprah? Was being a flickering ephemeral shadow sneaking into the Skaven's local seat of power not a demonstration of our magical chops? Did our former Master flex his magical chops by doing things that screamed Wizard, or by poking fun at us and leaving without anyone else the wiser? We're a Wizard of Ulgu- the magic of borders and transitions, of shadows and contrast. One of our role models made her name stealing the Imperial Regalia! Not building and playing around being super sneaky seems less wizardly than otherwise and I refuse to think Belegar didn't have an idea of what he was getting when he appointed us as Court Wizard.

Would anyone barring maybe Kragg, who never possibly could have snuck into the Karak Nar been as well positioned to deal with that divine clusterfuck? Is there anyone else on the Dwarfs' roster as suited for sneaking into the dark depths of the world and fucking up a Grey Seer's ritual? Of figuring out 'Holy shit they got a Screaming Bell, what do?' before it suddenly comes into play or a horrific ritual is enacted? There's a solid niche that Mathilde's been filling of 'magical rogue who can preempt the enemy's big rituals and surprises that doesn't seem to undermine that she's a wizard.

Its at least a very good first step and since we can spend time on it that isn't turn action it is very good and efficient set up.

Unless voting No Purchase on Skaven and Greenskin Magic topics means a roll on those topics is -8 to -10 than it could be, we make a roll to investigate some weird magic thing, fail, and then we die. Then that vote isn't safe at all.
Just saying, it's no less likely than saying we need a runefang in case we need to fight a dragon in the near future.

Did you somehow miss the action just this turn were we keep infiltrating and had a chance to kill the military leader ?
Just a reminder that if we want the best possible sword we need to vote for this so we have the glomril for the best runes.

I'm honestly in favor of a much lower favor spend, but at this point I just never want to have the "But what if it was more murderous!" Conversation again about a weapon.
I'm sure it'll happen again with talismans or banners down the line, but those at least make sense to hot-swap in and out, whereas a giant fuck-off weapon is only going to be marginally different in how much it can murder a beastie.

Hmm. Worrying. Would the same problem apply to Inspiration?
Confirmed that it was possible. I think it's much more likely to happen with 25 favours than any less though.
Magic is very often less neat than one would hope, and the brain can be shockingly malleable.

When we actually get our proper enchanting space set up, I really want to make an item of Bound Shadow Daggers (after we've learned it, of course), I'm not certain but isn't it usually the case that unless you've mastered a spell, a bound version is preferable for fire-and-forget and anti-miscast purposes?
Ah, that's good to hear.

Letting the Lore of Light shine a beacon of inspiration into a mind that has spent so long cultivating shadows could go poorly.
