Lets see. Quick skim:
-Max - Nothing urgent, anything useful is fine.
-Johann - Adela is idling so he may as well up her skills too.
-Ducks - Sort of interested in getting the Waaaghsoak Mushroom casting aid. Useful doping when we get to the Wastes, where if we can draw from a supply in the stomach it'd sometimes be more stbale than the overly plentiful environment?
-EIC - We REALLY need the navy now because Marienburg can't blockade without bringing it to a direct fight with Barak Varr...but they absolutely CAN encourage 'piracy' on all the rivers for much the same effect and more deniability, if less efficiently. Handlers isn't bad, but the navy is more time sensitive

[ ] Collate useful information on the northernmost Dark Lands from Qrech and Lady Magister Grey.
Valuable, unique to us.
[ ] Seek volunteers from the Colleges to join the Expedition.
[ ] Seek mercenaries to join the Expedition (optional: specify who/where).
[ ] Try to contact the Ice Witches of Kislev in the hopes they can provide clement weather for the Expedition.
We'd probably want better intel first, so we can recruit smarter.
[ ] Attempt to learn Battle Magic at the Grey College. (1 College Favour per attempt)
Hmm, do we want some Battle Magic for the trip?
Its risky, yeah, but generally speaking if you're in a situation where you need to use a Battle Magic in the Chaos Wastes you'd probably be dead if you didn't have one.
[ ] Travel to the Grey College and attend lessons there. (1 College Favour per class; 100gc can be paid instead for non-magical classes)
Theres the compulsory chaos classes, theres the crafting classes to make our top tier gear kit for the trip.
[ ] Experiment with integrating the Vitae into enchantments.
This might be helpful with making top keks gear?
[ ] Attempt to deepen your skill with Enchantment (will be more difficult than studying it at the Grey College)
Depends on if we want to rush down to the Wastes next turn or the turn after. If the turn after we should just do the enchanting upgrades first.
Current plans that look fine
[X] Plan Classy Navy
[] Plan Keep it Classy
I'd prefer the navy option for the EIC, because its kind of sorely needed and getting it after Marienburg 'pirates' sink our ships is too late. Still, other than that its fine enough, so I'll approval vote it if other plans are at risk of taking the top two, or vote navy if not.
