It might not match what's written in the wiki to a T... But i think he was nice because he thought we were a Sigmarite. Converted by abel on his deathbed.

That leave completely open the possibly that he cares not one whit for Sigmar but sees the cult as an important unifying factor for the Empire on pragmatic grounds.

Honesly, I'd rather not discuss a character based largely on his canon warhammer representation. This is Boneyhammer, the empress was a Lahmian agent, Algard faked his death and became the Grey Patriarch, Van Horstmann has a large chance of being incredibly loyal. Canon is but a suggestion.
I also used to be very much against Starke before we met him, but this version seems a bit more reasonable than his canon self. Of couse, grey wizards are extremely good at seeming., but still.

Question about this specifically, because you're not the first to voice something similar. Why do you either a.) Think someone is more qualified to make decisions on this expedition or b.) Think someone has a unique relevant skill to this situation?
Mathilde is a lady magister, even if someone had the wind sight to notice the magic flow or the mentality to notice the cognitohazard (and they probably don't, it could effect dwarfs without them noticing and Mathilde only noticed because of what she is) nobody is more qualified to make decisions on magic than the lady magister.
I think you mean Algard there.

Mathilde has given no clear indication that
They only beed to pass the bluff if they can first see through Mathilde's bluff.
The Warhammer Fantasy universe has many mind affecting spells. Mind reading not so much. Even with excellent Windsight Mathilde's inherent Ulgu makes it hard for anyone to discern if she is confused about anything.
What if the Chaos ambush in question isn't here at all, because this ritual that we know nothing about happens to not be about blasting or swarming passing expeditions? What if instead the ambush is somewhere just ahead on the High Pass with the goal of preventing anyone from turning off their free influx of magic? In that case standing our ground here and calling for backup massively weakens the expedition caravan while running away in a rush informs the locals that, not only do we fear an imminent ambush, we also seem to know far too much to be allowed to escape alive.
If Mathilde were to go to a realm that doesn't have a device that splits magic into eight parts, one of which is Ulgu, would her soul still continue to be a piece and source of Ulgu on its own? Or is it more of a conduit/attractor?
I know that Mathilde has no way of knowing the exact answer to this IC, but it doesn't seem like something to become relevant anytime soon if this doesn't become a planswalker/isekai/crossover quest, so I thought I could try asking anyway.
I forgot. Is the position of College Matriarch also up for being won through dueling?
Wait, what? I missed that part. Is Algard a canon character too?

1) Each College is free to employ whatever method they want for it, but usually it is a vote by LMs or all Magisters of the College in question. It wouldn't surprise me if it is a duel for Brights. Not very likely for Greys, though.
2) He doesn't have a huge presence, but he has some lines attributed to him here and there and his Towers of Screaming Death are canonical.
Algard
The legends of Algard, the renowned Grey Wizard, are rife with half truths and fictitious tales, not surprising perhaps, for a practitioner of the Lore of Shadow. However, one enduring myth turned out to be true--Algard had achieved his collection of eldritch tomes into a fastness so well...

Background character.
His towers are used as plot hooks and battle objectives in the RPG and TT games.
Creatures with good Windsight can read your thoughts straight off your soul, no active magic required.

We hope.
Because if not then oh boy did the Grey College get played hard.
They can read your feelings. That can be a very large difference.

On the Reiner Starke subject its important to notice that his zealot character is a canon thing of the future. While we don't ignore canon we can't ignore the butterflies, Reiner is currently a faithful, we know that but it doesn't necessarily means a zealot. He can become one but so much things have changed we can't count on his beliefs that The cult of Sigmar unites the Empire. Thats his zealot thing, not the prayer itself. For all we know the Ulric-Elf thing, possible glory from Knight units such as the Taal one, the Ranaldite Empress stuff... canon religion balance has being thrown of a long time ago.
Edit: but even so, if he does become Patriarch we have to take the boss religion in consideration if we want a nice relationship. Thats not even a zealot thing, just a common sense one. Disdain is different from neutrality.

Mathilde can read people's feelings. Other creatures with Witchsight can read surface thoughts or memories. Yet other creatures can see echoes of people's past actions or reverberations of their potential future ones.
Different people have very different versions of Witchsight.
Real talk, that even my own contemporaries often don't understand the bastard southern twang is the true reason I refuse to abandon my accent despite not using it normally. This attitude is acceptable.
Mathilde's soul is not a source of Ulgu, it is partially made of it.
The question is unanswerable, because it would depend entirely on the nature of souls in the new realm.
Not in the Grey College.

I'm not trying to argue that the Rune of Superior Skill should work on the mountain here, but I was re-reading the Early quest the last few days, and "Mountains are not foes" amused me right about the time I hit the section of the purge dealing with the "Blasphemy of Blood". I had forgotten that we've seen a mountain killed before, for doing "evil magic stuff".

Err. I believe the headcount is, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong:
150 Rangers
50 Engineers
50 Slayers
---
13 Wizards
1 Ice Witch
---
1 Dragonlord (real dragon included!)
100 Knights of Taal's Fury
100 Winter Wolves
Which adds up to less than 500.

I didn't notice whatever people seem to think implies the "mountain" knows it's been discovered. Rather, it's been there for centuries. It may notice that something is going on from the large-scale wheather manipulation, but I don't see anything that's about to unleash a demon horde on us right this second. As such, I don't think immediate actions is warranted. More "Immediate consolidation of forces".

With the clarification that Mathilde thinks inviting all the other wizards to shank any incoming spell in the ribs will have better odds then just doing it alone, plus the earlier foreshadowing in the update about not tipping off your mark, I'm switching to this.
