I...want to say I'm not using it for that purpose, and that this is another way to use it, but I don't know how to put it into words.
My bad. It is indeed not two clauses, but one clause with the however in the middle. However, I still think the commas should be there. I did a quick google search and found this article:
Article:
Some editors fastidiously move sentence-initial "howevers" to a position later in the sentence, as in I will be back on Wednesday, however, to collect my wages. As long as it's punctuated correctly, it's fine in either location, so there's no need to move it. But note that when it occurs in the middle of a clause, it's surrounded by commas.

It's possible that sentence-initial however could be ambiguous without the following comma, but even then the confusion is likely to be momentary. I don't see this as a compelling reason to avoid sentence-initial however, though I do believe it's important to punctuate it properly, with both a preceding semicolon or period and a following comma, to avoid tripping up the reader.

That said, we should probably take any further grammar discussion to DMs if wanted, heh. Don't want to derail the thread too much. ;)
 
That is exactly what I was aiming for, and it was both surprisingly hard to write, especially at the end, but also quite fun.

That's a very impressive needle to thread, well done.

By the way, whatever happened to that dwarven cleric of PUNCH?

He's part of the clergy of the Karagril Temple, and Johann is still receiving instruction from him.

Maybe we can Asarnil if he is willing to share whatever he's eating. I refuse to believe a Calandorian Dragonlord eats to less than world class standards even if he has to learn to cook himself.:V

Caledorians often insist that fresh meat lightly roasted by dragonfire is the greatest of delicacies.
 
If that sounds like a post-facto explanation for doing the practical thing it's just coincidence.
Not like Elves would ever decieve lesser races like that.

Dragonfire was used by golden age Runelords for their top tier work if I have my lore right so maybe something about it makes stuff better - possibly including meals.

Mathilde can at least try and compare. The Expedition ought to at least be amply supplied with dwarf ale to go along the meat.
 
It has probably been remarked on before. But I find it amusing that, for all Mathilde doesn't believe in Sigmar, Sigmar in all likelyhood believes in Mathilde.

All of the stuff she's gotten up to since she became an anti-sigmarite is stuff he would broadly approve of. Especially the part where she helped dawi.
Almost suspiciously so no? I think it is clear that Sigmar killed Van Hal so that we would go in to become a super dawi saver instead of staying around to help Ableheim in Slyvania forever.

We should use necromancy to get him back! That would show him!

Fair warning, if we ever get definitive proof that Sigmar deliberately let Abel die because Mathilde "would do more good elsewhere", that would be my response except with even more undead.

Because that is a plan so incredibly stupid that it deserves to be rewarded by an extremely resourceful necromancer rampaging about your back yard when there were thousands of different ways you could get the same outcome without letting one of your loyal servants die an avoidable death.
 
It seems that all the people who voted for [] Lead only the Wizards should start considering whether they prefer leading only Wizards and Asarnil over leading all the options and tactically approve that, or whether they don't care about how many additional people we lead beyond Wizards and accept the vote as is.

I say this because technically votes against leading Knights far outnumber votes in favor. And I don't want hard feelings because of that, not when approval voting gives everyone the ability to make their desires known and counted for in a sufficiently nuanced fashion.
