A dragon that sleeps for centuries at a time is, frankly, a better outcome for K8P than the entirety of Zilfin being filled to the brim with Clan Skryre.
Obviously some form of negotiations would be sweet as hell, and equally obviously they'd be tricky as hell. Still, if the elves and the humans can have allied dragons, why not dwarves?

Hey guys. I haven't had time to read anything but the updates for the last week or so. So please excuse any questions that have already been answered.
Also, since social actions from the social chapter don't give any numeric or concrete information, can we still secretly investigate characters of note?
In general, something I already wanted to say days ago, back when the thread was having a relevant discussion on this subject, is that I find it strange that the social turn can't update the Dramatis Personae info. After all it isn't a mechanical benefit, but instead just information that you deem Mathilde to know. And I don't think most people would vote on who we should visit based just on filling out numbers of characters that are friendly towards us. Especially with the dwarven councillors there isn't even any expectation for internal court politicking. Nor would it be our job to discern anyone's loyalty to King Belegar, except maybe the Undumgi or Ulrikadrin.
So in my opinion keeping stuff that threat readers should already know out of the info post due to it coming from a social turn is not needed in order to safeguard it from ravenous metagaming on our part.
Are we able to take both as a single action on our part? It's the same activity after all.
Can we give him another Skaven for company? Maybe a crippled one or something.

[X] Plan Translation Extraction (For the Snek Juice! Edition), 10 Pull Gacha Edition
-[X] MAX: Study an artefact: Skaven book on the Anatomy of Chaos Dwarves.
-[X] JOHANN: Join him on raids into Clan Mors territory with the aim of finding written correspondence.
-[X] DUCK: Gretel's motivated by wealth. Take her on a raid against Clan Mors, looking for wealth and Queekish.
-[X] EIC: Have the Eight Peaks branch keep a careful eye on the mood and actions of the Undumgi.
-[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] Spend 10 Favour to get all remaining spells.
-[X] Red Tower: build a tower that uses Aqshy to create mystical flames (and non-mystical light) to use the mountain at night.
-[X] Investigate the exact circumstances required to induce a transformation.
-[X] Supply a steady stream of Queekish documents for him to translate, and carefully check the results for consistency.
--[X] Convince Qrech that the Empire has already translated Queekish, but his help could provide a faster turnaround and better help you plan an attack on Clan Mors.
-[X] Serenity: Write a paper: Your personal understanding of countering Waaagh Magic.
-[X] Penthouse: Add security measures to your Penthouse to prevent surreptitious entry.
-[X] The Deceiver: Support Skaven Gambit.
There, the same plan but with Snek Juice instead of the Blue Tower.
Even cloudy days have shadows, more in fact (I'm from Ireland, I should know.) so only the absolute worst weather will affect the tower. and as Kragg said, 'I can sleepwalk 10 months,' the Blue tower is situational. the red one is far more useful.
We have built the first WMD, let's start the next one.
Come on thread, show @BoneyM that we won't fall for the low hanging fruit every time.
That his wily ways won't distract us forever

We do get Dramatis Personae information from the social turn though.
The tower is above the cloudline. If the clouds are between the tower and the ground then that limits the destructive ability of the mountain.

No. The action also encompasses Mathilde spending her attention protecting the duckling in a warzone, which is much harder if there are two of them.

At this point the murderous time-traveller won't be a frustrated journeyman, but Mathilde herself.

Its very different. Hubert is an ASSAULT, he wants glory, and we'd give it to him by attacking Skaven outposts outright and picking over the loot.
Gretel and Johann are raids. They slip in, look for stuff, take it, slip out, none the wiser.

Sadly, any plan that doesn't have the red and blue towers is a plan I cannot support. Truthfully I'd actually quite like to take both the other towers as well, but action crunch makes that kinda difficult and not really worth the effort of lobbying for.
No. Dwarves consider a Skaven stronghold falling to be a payoff in itself.
Not without spending an additional AP on creating that enchantment.
Not usefully. Very little of what she knows is applicable to wielding a scythe or a beam of fire.
It's really not. Assaulting the peripheries of Skaven territory is completely different to prowling into the most guarded parts of Skaven territory looking for loot, even if both have you grabbing anything written while doing so.
Adding an additional and entirely unpredictable element isn't a good idea.
Not without spending AP.
What information do you think readers 'should already know' that isn't on the Dramatis Personae page?

Speaking of Dramatis Personae,
Thank you for the Diplomatic standing addition.

While you're here, @BoneyM? Something I've been wondering for a while is why wizard staffs are, well, staffs. There's presumably some reason for it, but is that enough to prevent staff-equivalents in other forms being made at all, or is it just that they're harder to make or less practical for some reason? Could you, for example, make what's basically a staff in the form of a wand? A ring? A glove? A bit of fancy wood you strap to your forearm? A hat?

Makes sense. Clearly, we must therefore turn Abel's hat into our staff.

What? But we like that hat. It has sentimental value! Why would we make it into a disposable item that we expect to explode, melt or turn into snakes.
