Illusion includes sounds and smells too.

Well yes and no. My understanding is that it creates an illusion, which has properties that can be manipulated. So you could create a non-physical box around a pistol to hide the flash. I just don't understand how you could use it to prevent the sound. Make a sound, yes, I get that.

Well if you want an explanation based in actual science rather than simply waving ones hand and saying magic
Noise cancellation, that is emitting a sound wave that cancels another sound wave

It's a real thing, long story short, if you can make sound with the illusion, then with the right application you can negate sound

With this, I think it would be much better for us to just do normal scouting. Dreng's Rangers know their jobs, but they would not be able to map the mountain and find where everything in it is located like Mathilde going solo can, even with Mathilde's help. So let's leave them to do their job, and concentrate on achieving what they can't do.

Well, it looks like the Dems are split but still doing well being lead by Redshirt Army and... Red... Shirt...Army?... Ok... Anyway the Repubs are doing well, being lead by veeke, and Briefvoice's Greens are close behind. The last serious contender seems to be Sinsystem's Libs. We have some of the smaller independent parties showing a decent turnout along with many, many... many others making a point to enter the race but not gaining any traction.
And that's our coverage of the election tonight. back to you Dave for the weather. It looks like we're in for a bit of a chill.

Already answered b. For a, you can write it in but you lack the 'boney doesn't do trap options' protection so make sure the write - in has been carefully considered.

Careful with implications. I've yet to give the matter much thought since Mathilde hasn't looked into it, but my initial thought is that as well as being possible to implement them into enchantments for a power boost, you'd be able to craft them into items that make a specific battle magic spell significantly easier.
They are your escort and you're not going to be there for the full six months. They might be there for some but they're not a gift of bodyguards to Stirland from K8P.

[X] Plan Mathilde The Protector, v2
-[X] [COIN] The Protector
-[X] [JOHANN] Previous Task: Have Johann perform or assist with spider autopsies.
-[X] [MAX] Have Maximilian attempt to write a paper: a paper on the Waaagh energy and magic witnessed during the Expedition.
-[X] [EIC] Found an internal investigation division, to investigate possible misconduct.
-[X] [FREE] Hire an open-minded Loremaster from a Young Hold to teach the We.
-[X] Travel to the Grey College and attend lessons there. (1 College Favour per class; 100gc can be paid instead for non-magical classes)
--[X] 100gc to hire a Greatsword tutor from the school there. Dame Weber has seen her liege lords defenders, and found them wanting. She goes to Stirland next to help train them up, as attrition kills them as fast as they can pick up blades right now.
-[X] Sylvania: Give Roswita's Greatswords a crash course in everything they should already know, and then some more.
-[X] Sylvania: Investigate the attempts on Roswita's life, and see if you can determine the mechanisms, spells, and controls that make it possible.
-[X] Karagril: Carefully map as much of the mountain as you can.
-[X] Establish a weekly meeting for the various Journeymanlings and Ducklings that you've accumulated, so you can keep tabs on what they're up to and assist and intervene as necessary.
-[X] [SERENITY] Write a paper on Mathilde's MAP.
-[X] [FREE] Have a tower built atop Karag Nar: -100gc for 1 room, bonus to room's purpose.
Getting Sylvaina grass roots support would be nice. Get the Stirland part capable of defending themselves, using only sword so Roswita can't object, map the mountain, get out sword skills up to par and start the club. I'd prefer more Sylvania actions, but them's the break if you want to avoid overwork.
Some approval voting:
[X] Plan Briefvoice Turn 22
Let's not risk overwork. That seems like a possibly bad gamble to lose, on a turn like this.
EDIT: The idea being that with the Protector emoting selfless actions to all, we can explain to the Patriots of the EIC that the monitoring squad is there to watch for Chaos cultists and Lahmian Thralls, not just hunt regular corruption.

There's a huge difference between what a master can achieve with a lot of work and what may be made by the thousands for a reasonable price and stand up to the neglect and abuse of an army on the march.No problemInterestingly, in searching for that quote i found:
So either the top of the line imperial revolver rifle was more advanced in some ways, or its just a case of 'this was super early on in thequest, boney hadn't decided on where exactly any ambiguous tech decisions fell
I refer to something raised a while ago with regards to shutting down an object's magical properties, then slamming into it with the power of a cannonball to break it.
Generally speaking it should be fine for the purpose of a given fight.
That said if we hit Widowmaker it'd probably shut off the blade's magical properties and dispel whatever buffs it might have put up, BUT I suspect Khaine might take personal umbrage enough to restore the buffs at least(only for us to keep dispelling heheheh)
Well if its structured around the Fog of War, I can see a few possibilities:
-Moderately Complicated:
--False Trail: Create a construct of Ulgu which will 'march' forth along a preset path along a chosen surface, leaving illusory signs consistent with a type of creature's passage.
--Seeking Eye: Inspired by Windsage, the Seeking Eye forms a coherent 'snake' of Ulgu, which can be pushed into a given direction to extend your senses like a periscope, even through spaces too small for you to fit into.
-Fiendishly Complex:
--False March: As per False Trail, but the construct is much larger, capable of emulating an army unit.
--Unusually Uninteresting: As per Take No Heed, but affects an external target creature or object.
Also we do have a few examples of what the Imperial Authorities intend for Stirland:
-The Imperial Spymaster has an agent in the form of a reasonably competent outrider, and previously a corrupt academic. Derived information is that they just want to keep an eye on the seat, they don't particularly expect it to stay filled.
-The Church of Sigmar has first sent a warpriest who was bent on converting everyone to Sigmar, and only later grew more tolerant, but at the same time offered absolutely zero support whenever he wrote for more manpower or aid. Then in Roswita's reign its a largely incompetent priest, not even particularly pious, skilled or well, anything.
-The Colleges sent Mathilde originally, with instructions more or less to keep her ears open. Presumably they just want an eye on the situation.
I *think* the Imperial seat and institutions don't feel like investing much into Stirland, on the basis that its been a shithole for a decade and seems likely to stay that way.
The Church of Sigmar might be up to some ploy or they genuinely did not give a shit. A bit of cynical paranoia made me wonder if they weren't hoping Stirland would get worse enough for them to call a nice big crusade to boost their standing.
It was discussed in the 24 hour moratorium and the loose consensus was that the dwarf loremaster has the right combination of secrecy, high Learning skill and teaching the right values to live under a dwarf Karak long term without avoidable grudges occuring.
Dwarf values also should natively have a fair amount of overlap with an unusually rational species(as in, rational enough to show up as chamon in their head), so thats one lower entry barrier.
Nobody wanted Mathilde or Max on the case to tie up their actions for a few years, though it wasn't really contested that they'd be good teachers.
All the others had a higher risk of Silk info leaking early.
Esmeralda's values were considered to be likely easy to convey(as very basic desires), but less likely to be useful or as well educated as the others.
Verena's values were considerd to be relatively abstract and difficult to convey to a creature with no prior concept of society. No doubt they could get there eventually, but its apt to be frustrating for a while
That is very true. Its incredibly easy to disappear a person in the Empire. Even a vampire preying actively on their immediate neighbors alone is likely to pass unnoticed for years, if they moved elsewhere every dozen years or so they could keep it up indefinitely.
I think the problem is partly that the nature of vampires ensures that:
-Any particularly moral vampire is usually going to be disposed of or enslaved by their sire.
-Any vampire moral enough to refuse to prey on humans is going to be feeding on Dhar and going steadily insane.
-Any vampires which aren't one of the above likely will grow to see humans as prey or herd animals. Which is step one of the vampire slippery slope, once you see them as food first, you stop caring as much about their feelings on the matter.
At which point you just have ambitious, proud vampires who believe they should rule and unambitious or patient vampires who recognize that lesser beings in sufficient quantity can still put them down and maybe a moment of glory isn't worth spending the next century as a paperweight.
Which pretty much means that the vampires arrogant enough to operate openly should be smacked down to discourage others.
Not necessarily, but continued lessons will mean a cumulative improvement.

Implying that the Stirland/Sylvaina options aren't going to go away next turn. Which makes sense, when you think about it. I doubt Belebro is going to hate us for helping our home, as long as we keep doing what he actually asks us to do.
