[x] Plan Planting the Seeds with Ciphers
This is a good point- we might get a company of questing knights just for room, board, and the asking. Would certainly be useful as outriders.

100% seriously: can we design our staff so that the top of it holds a power stone, and can be replaced if it's used, without compromising functionality?
This is only half because I think the traditional glowing orb on top of a magic staff looks rad as hell.

Say @BoneyM How did our old ranger buddy react to our own family history?
There's some really funky stuff about Felix. He's not a regular human.

I thought Clan Angrund was a Warrior Clan, for at least four thousand years now. Have they decided to switch job back to what their ancestors used to do? Or so s "Noble" actually a legitimate and serious Clan occupation? Im which case, what does a Dwarf of a noble house usually do? Bureaucracy? Because I can't imagine they sit in leisure like many a Human noble is wont to do?
I'm asking to get more insight into the K8P Dwarves, not because I want to pressure you into giving us Angrund Hammerers on stand
Noble is a legitimate Clan occupation. They generally focus on things like leadership, management, and settling disputes, as well as any task that needs doing but for whatever reason can't be handed over to the relevant Guild, like K8P's bank. Most Holds also have a prominent Guild that the Nobles often go into, like Zhufbar and Engineers.

Hey @BoneyM , what about:
[] Trawl around the bars and brothels of Tilea, looking to talk to the actual mercenaries that have walked either the Skull Road, or the Great Steppes. Ask them about the threats and dangers of those places, not the merchants. Best if you can find and convince a Hobgoblin merc to tell you himself about their home.

Pops head into thread. Uh, can I ask why all the plans are only spending one action on our job? Especially since they all have overwork actions?
[x] Plan Keep It Classy But Do the Job
-[x] Contains one Overwork action
-[x] MAX: Study an artefact: Captured Clan Moulder devices (as yet uninspected)
-[X] JOHANN: Have him teach Adela what he knows of engineering.
-[x] DUCK: Magical target-shooting is rough on normal targets. Set up a specialized target range for your ducklings, and for any other wizards at Eight Peaks.
-[X] EIC: Start hiring handlers who can then start hiring informers and begin to collect non-public information.
-[x] SERENITY: Write a paper: The We book (1/2)
-[x] PENTHOUSE: Have a tower built atop Karag Nar: -100gc for 1 room, bonus to room's purpose.
-[x] Collate useful information on the northernmost Dark Lands from Qrech and Lady Magister Grey.
-[x] Seek volunteers from the Colleges to join the Expedition.
-[x] Attend classes at the Grey College:
--[x] Anti-Chaos Training
--[x] Runes and Runecraft
-[x] Study an artefact: Ranald's Coin
--[x] COIN: The Gambler
There. Removed one of the college classes so we can instead try to recruit wizards for the expedition, something that our sky high college reputation should make much easier.

I'll add it in, but it would likely take a fair bit of trawling to find a mercenary this far south that has travelled a road that far north.

I figured as much. But Tilea is the merc capital of the Old World. If anyone has some, it would be them. Probably pirates, that left their home long ago and turned merc after the Cathay ran them away from that side of the world. Or hired by some Princeling with more money than sense, to intimidate his enemies with their exotic looks/tales.

Ok, here's a question... does reaching magic 9 award us any immediate benefit? I get that we want to break the cap eventually, for the prestige and because it probably awards us with new options, but we can already auto cast* most non battle spells, and for the spells we cannot auto cast (battle magic) we never want to learn them because they'll always be too risky, even if we reach Kroak tier according to the rules. Only practical benefit I can think of is a better dispel. Am I missing something because the hiatus was so long and I forgot? @BoneyM am I missing something?

You picked the one action most people are against.
Why are most people against it? And why does the leading plan still only do one Job action?

So we study the Coin, figure out how Divine Magic works, and then use the Coin as a practice target for how to steal and use it for ourselves.
Ranald has no grounds to complain, he did the same thing, precedent is on our side!

The Hobgoblin will lie. They are pathological backstabbers, it will genuinely not occur to him not to lie.
We won't be judged for success or failure until we declare we're done (and time management is only relevant if we "fail.") The expedition leaves in 3-7 turns, so we can quite easily make up for any perceived "deficit" if we're nearing that point and don't feel we've accomplished enough.
Also, this:

It improves our magic skill. This includes stuff like:
• Being better at enchanting
• Being better at casting in adverse situations, like "being tired" or "being in the chaos wastes"
• More safely learning magic, such as the elves shadow magic
@Briefvoice both of the Plan Fulfilling Obligations have 2 actions for the expedition.

Because 1) we intend to spend at least three turns on this job 2) we want better gear before we pop into the Wastes 3) this gives us the skills to craft that gear next turn.
If you're going to drop any action in order to pick up a task action, drop the Coin research. The classes are all of indirect practical benefit to this job, whereas the Coin is just a moonshot research project. I recommend Plan Fulfill Obligations with Gretel or Plan Fulfill Obligations v2.
People are very nervous about bringing wizards into the Chaos Wastes where shit might get Dhar real fast. My take is that we should buy all the Chaos Wastes books we can this coming purchase round and then ask Boney what Mathilde IC thinks the risks are, rather than go in circles with people citing various OOC resources at one another.
We're planning on going into a region where magic is harder to control. On the narrative level, staves don't up your Magic rating by making you more powerful, they increase it by helping you control magic better. This seems like a good investment in not exploding into demons.
You are probably better off looking for somebody like that in Praag, Kislev or Erengrad since that is where those trade-routes/caravans most likely terminate.
