@Lupercal @LightLan @Jyn Ryvia & anyone else voting for a spoken Queekish Variant.

Whilst I don't prefer spoken queekish, can I convince you to switch the Penthouse action away from Gyrocopters and to rebuilding our dungeon with an unreasonable amount of Paranoia or improving our penthouse security?

If we're doing spoken queekish we have to guess that sooner or later an attempt will be made (probably by Eshin) to figure out where we learned it. At which point the best defences possible are very much desirable.

Really unnecessary, imo. We already have our penthouse fortified against surreptitious entry; even Mathilde couldn't sneak in without going loud, so fortifying against attacks is redundant when dealing with Eshin. And securing the dungeon is a precaution against breakouts.

Right, this was the one I wanted. It has a little more of what I would prefer, though the lack of complete Reikspiel dictionary is somewhat disappointing.
EDIT: Also, approval voting just in case.

Admittedly, I imagine AV enthusiasm isn't as high is because we aren't getting appreciable benefits at a time where we have lots to do.

I imagine that might change once we start doing runic work on it (and we really should pay to get Kragg or Thorek, not just hope he's willing) or know how to make powerstones.

Not sure if Windherder would help here, given the trait is based on someone else manipulating the other Wind.

So, the dragon really doesn't like the Dark Elves. Which probably shouldn't be surprising, I don't think any dragon likes the Drucchi, even the ones they corrupted.

Do you think the dragon would be interested in coming along when we visit Ulthuan?
And can we cast take no heed on it?
To create surprise dragon out of nowhere ambushes.

I'm imagining the hilarity of Mathilde's response to being invited to participate in a shadow war being bringing a dragon along.

@BoneyM is this doable?

I imagine that a fucking Emperor Dragon with magic is going to have the final say on whether we can cast magic on it.

And I imagine if he was interested, he would have gone there already seeing as he can fly.
