[X] A Picnic in the Fields
[X] A Scenic Hike

Don't introduce your god/best friend to your potential smoochy until at least the third date. And even then, only if the second date rolled a critical success.
 
I can just see Kasmir going "Yeah, sure, i'm a priest of Sigmar, and if you want i'll be happy to tell you all about him. But first, let me tell you about this other god i think you might be interested in." in his best door to door salesman pitch.

There haven't been any major indications of how the Dwarven infection has been progressing recently, but I'm certain that by this point we have to be at least 40% Dwarf.

Is that by mass or by volume?

One of the benefits of being the Loremaster of a major Karak is that showing up and saying 'I'm nosy, tell me what's going on here' is considered by Dwarves to be entirely within your job description.

Somewhere one of our contemporaries in the Grey college who just finally made senior assistant to an Elector Count's Intrigue Advisor and has had to infiltrate the primary project of the Stewardship Advisor as a day laborer to stop getting the runaround feels a burning sense of envy and hate without knowing why.

I have some totally-serious definitely-not-joke suggestions! :V

[] Aggressive Weeding
-Propose using the Eye of Gazul on Panoramia's fields again. Surely she won't object this time, right?

[] Proving Green Supremacy
-Go hunting for orcs with Panoramia, and let her show off her efficient greenskin mulching techniques.

[] Mutual Magesight Meditation
-Work on your magesight together; you by staring at Panoramia to try and see past her ghyran shell, and her by trying to feel your ulgu more closely.

[] A Tale of Literary Tastes
-Introduce Panoramia to your, ahem, 'romance' book collection, and spend time reading together and comparing interests.

[] Try Some Magic Mushrooms
-Perform further investigation into the properties of waaaghsoak mushrooms together.
 
Kasimirquest: Divided Divinities is getting spicy.

Their version of @Omegahugger pulled together enough vote to spring for necromancy but critically miscast the type of necromancy and instead brought back dead gods.

Man, that's a heck of an ambition. Makes me wonder about the [get him a better god] option we had when he had his crisis of faith.

All the survivors of Ableheims Council have accomplished so much. Can you imagine how much further along they'd be if we were still together?

Just imagine how hard a time the Ancestor Gods had!
Though for Mathilde, theres preexisting practices, and its entirely possible that a warp entity resembling her public image forms as a Venerated Soul of Ranald, though it wouldn't exactly be a profit making enterprise where Faith income is concerned without her actual soul doing the carrying, it'd be a grand lark.

Its ALSO possible to just keep being credited for things you had nothing to do with, but might have. Acts of chance, acts of Grey Journeymen(like, having a local urban legend makes it fairly convenient for a Grey Wizard traveling at speed covertly, since all such sightings would be put down to the known phenomenon of the phantom that looks like a sword wielding Grey wizard riding a midnight horse), acts of Spymasters etc.

I totally expect that if we developed the mythological around mathy, it won't actually be mathy becoming a god, it would be a minor god or independent warp entity becoming a mathy.

Which would be completely amazing plot if this happens while mathy is still alive.

Ranald: Hi girl! Meet your baby sister... daughter... twin??? Whatever, just say hello mathy 2!

A living shadow of magic riding a monstrous shadowy horse and and a exaggerated glowing great sword: hello. Have you seen any necromancers? I would very much like to smite some, pretty please?

Oh ya. I forget sometimes that despite dwarfs having about non-existent intrigue they can stubbornly keep secrets with the best of them to anyone on the outside.

They could have sent us a letter. We would would have done it without even asking for anything. We would just have been very smug at them.

Okay, I might just be a simple Hike-voter, but come on people: If you want the thread to vote Dice and Drinks, at least use the proper arguments!

Namely that there's a very real chance we get Drunk!Mathilde flirting with Drunk!Panpan.

I really don't know how to feel if the reason Kasmir was unable to heal Abel back then was because some minor swamp god was burying Sigmar in Divine Red Tape for trying to intercede in their territory.

I mean, Elspeth proves that Gods can die, so my thoughts wouldn't be conflicted.

I don't want to become a god, I want to try and become an urban legend ala apparitions. Turn the coin to protector, do some hero-y things in Stirland and have Ranald credit it to our Dammerlichtreiter persona.

Make people think that an apparition like that exists and see if we actually create something or at least if we can get Dammerlichtriter themed spells to work better.

I do want to become a god because the colleges desperately need a god of magic to help them out.

Ugh, not that plot point again. I have seen its ilk in every form of media. :V

More seriously, it's like the question about 'is Sigmar really Sigmar'. If the major, defining feature of the warp entity's legend is that it's this one person, it can't come into existence without fulfilling that requirement. It's like a fire elemental coming into existence made out of red colored ribbons; it looks vaguely like fire, from a distance, right? No! It fails the first check: is it or is it not fire.

If the center of worship is 'the soul that is identified as this', the worship will aggregate around 'the soul identified as this'. It's a 'least amount of effort' thing; which soul is more Mathilde-like, a blank slate, or a powerful magical being already running around with the magic horse and the magic sword and the pointy hat?

My head canon (until I can vote to make her canon) is that she is too small and young to have a lot of nunce.

She wants ride her horse in circles around Stirland, swing her big sword, cast shadow magic and smite undead and undead connected things all day.

And doesn't really Understand why anyone would not be spending every moment doing those things? Or want to talk about anything else.

Mathy: so we went for a ride last play date, what do you..

Mathy2: more riding please.

Mathy: ok... were do you want to stop for lunch?

Mathy2: ... stop?

Yeah im gonna agree. If someone gets sufficient reverence their souls gets boost over in the warp.

So just keep churning up that rep with humans and dwarves alike.
