For people wondering about Slaanesh and the temptation of knowledge, there's a canon cult called the Bleak Society that started off as a philosophers guild wanting to understand the nature of reality, but their desire for knowledge turned them to Slaanesh worship in order to perfect their studies and academic research. They are fairly low-key, as secret cults go, but whenever a rare or forbidden tome turns up on the black market, they appear to claim it for themselves.
(Tome of Corruption, pg 76)
So they are in fact... preventing the spread of (what would be considered by Empire authorities as) 'Forbidden Knowledge'? :V
 
"I still have no idea if Egrimm van Horstmann is a chaos worshipper. That dastardly trickster."
"Also, let's go to the Chaos Dwarf trade hub and come back after buying a bunch of suspicious books on magic. No way that could be seen as anything other than totally legit, right?"
Those poor Horstmann Quest bastards are getting ever more confident that we are a Tzeentchite and ever more frightful about what our plan is, aren't they?

I mean, 'accidentally' discovering and ruining a plot of the Excessive? Disappearing for days under suspicious circumstances and probably returning with books?

The Grey is sus as fuck.
 
Because

A: That's not what we came for;
B: By doing so we will be stirring up a hornet's nest, thus endangering the mission.
Neither we did come to check on Karag Vlag...

Seeing the absolutely outstanding success of our last sideroad stop, people are even more motivated to take as many of these short adventures as possible for obvious reasons.

One is not like the other. And the payoff is hilariously incomparable. One is about getting loot, other is about saving an entire Dwarf Karak and indirectly improving Dwarf global strategic position substantually through recovering that branch of Waystone network.

Furthermore, the Expedition is actively hoping to avoid attracting Skaven (and Dawi Zharr) attention, both on the way in and the way out.

Guess what will not avoid attracting Skaven attention?

I'm more interested in scouting the chaos dwarves than actually buying something. Demolishing their trading post might be difficult and paint a huge target on our backs but if we get around to doing it in the future it would be a huge gain for humanity.
 
"Here, I think I've got an idea. Budge over." A moment later, a much louder voice asks, "what about the Elgi? They turn up for this Great War of yours?"

You smile. "They sent three people and they still act smug about it."

Belegar's official support for this expedition was one wizard assigned to help with preparations, and you can bet he's going to be smug as hell about it.

So to give a counter argument, scouting these locations will let us know if those forces have anything planned that might interfere with the expedition, secondly if we're going to stir up the hornets nest I think we'd try and do it in such a way as to make the chaos dwarves think it was clan moulder and vice versa. Shame we didn't take the trait that explicitly would have helped with that in the past but I don't mind giving us a second whack at something similar.

Regardless you don't get an opportunity to scout these locations often or to grab what ever opportunities might arise during our forays. I think it's worthwhile and we would still have three talking slots afterwards.
 
debate what is to be done with those from Karak Vlag
My position: "We killed them, let Gazul sort them out."

[Alexandra]'s first taste for battle
…she hadn't even seen combat before signing up for a trip to hell? I know she had something to prove but even still.

He continues to say and do all the right things.

Asarnil and Deathfang
Our pet murderhobos seem annoyed that they didn't actually murder anyone in this battle.
Personally I'm fine with them only managing to tank a higher demon long enough for the Light choir to nuke it.

"If the Wizards tell you to do something, do it, even if it's weird.
That is an amazing show of faith from a non-K8P Dwarf.

"Reality is never as convincing as something designed to be convincing,"
Stranger than fiction indeed.
Also: We have managed to increase the number of Dwarfs in the world. This is a rare and treasured achievement.
 
Is there any way to tell whether the Slayers were corrupted or under some sort of persistent illusion/enchantment? The fact that they acted as slayers has be believe the second one. I'm fairly sure the demons would prefer something more interesting than generic suicidal berserker troops if they had the choice.

Not after they're dead.

But why are people voting for the creches?

Combe, not creche. A valley in an escarpment.

…she hadn't even seen combat before signing up for a trip to hell? I know she had something to prove but even still.

Not on this scale. She was a charcoal burner, and with the Empire's forests being what they are, it's not unlikely that she's seen more fights than Mathilde.
 
Can I argue for Sir Ruprecht Wulfhart the Younger over Snori and the combes

1: the Combes are not likely to give us much sneaking around, we will have to do actually stealing murdering to get stuff, and picking fights everytime is going to burn the expedition dry fast.

2: this is our chance to get the Young wolf onside, he is riding high on a great showing of his command and we are in a spot to guide what he learns from this.

Lets, gandalf this shit.
 
Btw, does anyone any idea where the LoC with his "retinue" went? Those guys always have a plan... No. Not "a plan" - The Plan. And, most of time, more than one.
Why did he decide to go east? I doubt that he didn't know where he was and where he could find the nearest people for sacrifices.

The nearest sacrifices are probably the unsuspecting Skaven or Dawi Zhar it's hunting.

Well on the plus side this expedition is already a sucess even if we dont make it to Dum.

That is Slaanesh's biggest advantage in the great game dispite being the youngest and weakest of the dark gods.

"Though Khorne is the only god openly hostile to the Dark Prince, Nurgle and Tzeentch are also ill at ease in its presence, despite the fact that the most typical hierarchy of power between the four Chaos Gods sees Slaanesh at the bottom. Even they feel the magnetic pull of Slaanesh's matchless charisma, and are both attracted and repelled by their younger brother.

This is due, in part, to the fact that all the Chaos Gods embody the excess for which Slaanesh is known: Khorne with its bloodlust, Tzeentch with its scheming, and Nurgle with its spreading of plague. Each is an obsession that the Dark Prince can turn to its will with merely a whispered promise.

Lurking deep within the psyche of each of its brothers is the suspicion that the influence of the Dark Prince is rapidly growing, and that Slaanesh will perhaps one day eclipse them all in strength.

With this thought in mind, any alliance of convenience with Slaanesh is especially short-lived; while this could be attributed to simple distrust of one who changes sides at a whim, there is an argument that the Dark Prince's rivals fear the secret power it holds over them."

Now, this is a quote about the 40k version, but it still fits.

Slaanesh's domain is the most widespread, and even intrudes on the other chaos gods turf.
What's your source for this? I remember reading something that's pretty much the same as this on the Age of Sigmar wiki and I'm interested in seeing where in 40k it shows up in as well.
 
I don't want to visit Chaos Vegas. We had already spend too much time for sightseeing (even though what we achieved was Great) and we still have pending sidequest for the Witches. I'd stick to the convoy for some time.
