On the subject of the We's 'old age', I wonder if you could use it as part of a mechanism for safely sequestering very small shards of warpstone, like those in Sylvania, for example, like, the way I read that part, what you end up when a really old We is liquidated is a bunch of stone balls with chips of warpstone in them, (like really freaky pearls) and I'm thinking maybe you could take those pearls and shove them in the lead lined caskets that the dwarfs tend to use to store warpstone in, as an intermediary decontamination step.

Like really freaky pearls... or warpstone bullets.

It's explicitly pointed out that Ranald spent at least a chunk of the stuff we stole for him on this plot? But like, what plot?





Bwuh
the fuck is Ranald going for here?
Next Emperor's mother being Ranaldite, who hails from former ruling dynasty of Stirland?
Is he aiming for his status in Empire being elevated to rival major gods like Sigmar or at least Verena?

I believe the end point of the plot is something like that, yes. And the reason Mathilde is certain Ranald did this with the power she helped him steal from the Orcs is that this would be expensive.

We're talking about rigging I don't even know how many things, and slipping it past everybody, mortal or divine, who'd object. It's not quite "Grand Theft Empire", but it's closer than most get.

Pretty sure she's not a vampire. If she was she'd be planning to kill us, not make the sign of the Deceiver and have Ranald corroborate her.

Ranald could bless a vampire, but when one of the things you need to sneak past to get to where she got was a shit-ton of holy symbols that burn them on contact, a mortal would be a better choice.

So, is anybody else super tempted to tell our old Master about the Empress or, well, somebody? We don't know what her scheme is, but so far, it doesn't look very imperially sanctioned.

Maybe she's even trying to introduce, uugh, democracy to the Empire?
 
also, can I say that I already love the social turns, being able to vote on fluff without 'the Crunch' hanging over everyone's head its great.

just vote for what looks fun.
 
One thing I appreciated about this update was the solid message that, for all she's exceptional in many ways, Mathilde is not the center of the universe. That there are other wizards out there with even more absurd deeds than hers in their portfolio, and otherwise ordinary humans who've accomplished absolutely ridiculous feats with nothing but skill and will.

...Okay then.

[X] Try to find Kasmir in Sylvania.

First I only cared for the Empress but now I feel some sort of obligation to find the one good Sigmarite that Mathilde cared about. We have the rumour mill set on Stirlandian Army channels, we can narrow down where he is. And well... find him. And perhaps mourn over him if he's dead.

Stirland took much from us. I can't in good conscience not make the attempt at advocating for Kasmir.

yeah
current Supreme Patriarch literally going "fuck you i am dragon" in the duel was certainly hilarious
also, Non Agression Pact with Cathay. Supreme Patriarch Dragon Wizard Marco Polo.

I'd honestly be cool with any of the social options, but we absolutely must chat with Heidi. The sheer gall she has to pretend to be a vampire for years, and then move on to become the empress is genuinely amazing.
 
Okay... hear me out!
Chairs are so passe... we should fill in the holes in the dragon skull and make it a bathtub!
Maybe a rune to heat the water juuuuuuust right...

Also, damn necromantic insight... Well, after 8-peaks we can always go visit Drachenfels, if a vampire doesn't come to us instead. Where's the creep that wanders around with Krell these days?

@Redshirt Army made the exact point I wanted to make about this before I could. Spider guy is probably going to be thrown off by the fact that the spiders are very different from forest spiders, weaver guy is a terrible idea for reasons I already posted, beekeeper just needs to be told "they're bees that are spiders, a hive that is intelligent, and they make silk instead of honey" and away he goes.

Mathilde needs to be low-key horny on main.

I am intent on adopting him as Mathilde's grumpy uncle and you can't stop me.

Repairing this relationship is important. EDIT: But we get the favor anyway, so I'm dropping it, because I forgot that this turn is about who we want to hang out with.

I was right about her hiding from the Grey College in one of her giant brass balls. I did not expect to be right about that.
[X] Try to find Kasmir in Sylvania.
I don't want that to hang forever.
[X] Write In: Our former Master, to share whatever infiltration stories we both have that the other has the clearance for
Yesssssssss

[X] Store away for some future purpose.
This is probably not going to win, but I desperately want it to top our doom-tower. Burning Shadows can emanate from its mouth. It'll be such a fucking heavy metal album cover.

Hard agree. It's a fine line to walk in progression-fantasy-type-stories, between making it clear that your character is in fact becoming more badass and awesome in a meaningful way that the world reacts to and making them the Big Swinging Dick around whom every other character circles and fawns.

We know we're pretty damn cool. Lots of people agree that we are pretty damn cool. But we're not the only person who can be pretty damn cool.
