How much money would we spend though?
Mathilde is personally rich and for the stuff she isn't rich enough she's got sufficient institutional backing to secure funding. We can't really spend Dwarf Favour fast enough - we've got 32 in the bank right and that's without Rakilid un Thaggorhun, without the Orkal rescue and without saving Vlag.

Moses was a Priest/Chosen of his God.
Matty is a Wizard.
Therefore we operate on different methods of Miracle Invocation.

Just for the record, since I think these are all being treated differently here are my guesses for why they're being asked about:
So that they can be prepared incase something goes wrong, or they have right of first refusal to buy these to make their deamon canons.
They have previously been invaded by the Tomb Kings/Wood Elves over this and its not worth trading in.
not allowed in the city, however they will sell you shielding.
Previous occasion of skaven sabotage/ mishandling of the device, not allowed in the city period.
Allowed in, but they put your name on a list so they can verify you're keeping it dead properly and don't leave it behind (if its a notable or powerful vampire they'll buy it off you to resurrect and use as a minion)
Similar to the brass orb, except its probably not been smuggled in by a patsy before
Not sure what these are? Tomb lord invasion again?
They have previously been invaded by the Tomb Kings/Wood Elves over this and its not worth trading in.
Same as warpstone, isn't this warpstone? Has this just been added because some people only know one name?
Allowed in but they keep track of this incase they need to kill you during your stay.
They will demand the right of first refusal to buy these
Not sure what these are: Gilded Horn of Galon Konook ? Probably they'll want to buy it for daemon canons?
Not sure why they care? I assume either wood elves have invaded over these or Bretonnians... Or they might be innately cursed?
Warhammer History: The Gods and Daemons of Law long term scheme to capture a god? They demand the right to buy it first again.
Warpstone again, pretty sure now that they've just had multiple idiots who weren't able to identify it.

Let's not get the expensive arm that we have no idea what to do with, given that we have enough on the research backlog that we're unlikely to get to it before other things end up in the research queue. Also possibble Lustrian or Mummy origin, neither of which would bode well for the people having it.
Have my worries about the Nut too, given I suspect it was from either Averlorn or Athel Loren, but it's the sort of thing that could potentially prove useful in our waystone negotiations with the Eonir, which swings me in favour of it.

Unicorn bits are known to interfere with Chaos artifacts. Relic Blades, some of the most effective anti-Chaos weapons around were created when at some point, Chaos weapons were made using powdered unicorn horns as reagents. Somehow the purity of these reagents caused the Chaos weapon to become especially effective against Chaos. To provide an example: Carrying around a Relic Blade for a week or two can remove Chaos mutations or marks. As in, a mutant is now cured, a Chaos Champion who doesn't throw it away will be freed of their pacts and able to return home without consequence. They also literally move of their own will to strike at mutants/daemons/chaos cultists, aiding a strike to land.
TLDR: They might be worried of the unicorn bits ruining something with bound daemons in it.

Nah, they'd have mentioned stuff other than "instruments strung with unicorn hair". They didn't ask about any other sorts of unicorn bits.
After another poster talked about something from a G&F novel I looked up the Harp of Ruin, but while it'd definitely qualify as destructive enough to warrant notice, I didn't see anything about it being strung with unicorn hair.

That depends on what we ended up using the money for, it's probably the most open-ended boon option although it's less powerful than a more focused boon. We could buy all the books we wanted and hire craftsman to build a great library - we could hire researchers and make a research institute - we could fund a new canal project - we could employ mercenaries to come with us on an expedition to Lustria.

I can see why they wouldn't want that in town.

Money is not Magic despite it's power.
Most do not have enough money to make an impact directly.
The average person has to trust a charity or foundation etc, the Haiti Earthquakes alone show how much corruption and fraud evaporated peoples donations.
The two situations are not really comparable.

Too much risk, too little to gain, at least while the expedition is going on.
[x] MEAT: Yes
We are competant enough to know if it's tainted(most likely) and its a good backup.
[x] ARM: Yes
Potentially powerful artifact, at worst the Lizardmen demand it back, and we lost money we aren't even supposed to have.
[x] NUT: Yes
Same here, I think with some sort of magic box protecting it from chaos corruption won't be too bad, elves don't exactly visit karaks, wood elves even less than high elves, so little risk, and it could probably be returned. I want it for the colleges more than anything.
[x] PAPERS: Yes
No risk(as far as I can see) and potentially very valuable, what's the worst that could happen? Our library gets another interesting reading piece, even if it's not practically useful. Again, we aren't even supposed to have money, I am not particularly attached to it.

Hello and welcome!
During the current vote the four first options will win and you are allowed to vote for as many different options as you like. Visiting Uzkulak is currently at fourth place and visiting the Skaven Combes already has that option beat. If your top priority is not going to Uzkulak you might want to comsider also voting for options below it that you like, in the hopes of pushing the disliked one to sixth place.
It's the job Belegar had in mind for us and the job we accepted and enjoy doing in practice. But if we get replaced by a more traditional Loremaster then continuing to solve unusual magical, or foe related problems with Mathilde style solutions in our free time will in most likelihood not encroach on the new Loremaster's turf, who will be much more busy with things like traditions/legal precedents, historical accounts of problems similar to weird current ones, and general scholarship. In fact it might even be that the Dwarf in question wouldn't be a Runesmith, which would mean that his go to action/advice when it comes to magical problems that can't be hit with an axe or buried with a shovel will be to ask Kragg, Thorek or Mathilde (with the order depending on the actual Dwarf doing the Loremaster job).
If we don't die here then we can always come back some day in the future, for as long as we are still allowed to lease a gyrocopter.
If anyone had a direct line to the Ancestor Gods then the Karaz Ankor wouldn't look like it does. It would have lost less knowledge and be less tradition bound at the same time.
Which game is that second image from?
What's the difference between the Lore of Vampires and the Lore of Necromancy?
I assume that Battle Magic is either scaled up versions of exercises or certain effects that are easier to do on a large scale than trying to do it with little magic.
In Ulgu the only one I imagine being an example of the latter is the Pit of Shades. Localized mini-pits might be possible, but they don't sound any easier to learn and do efficiently.
I'm pretty sure the Colleges create more and more dangerous Black Magisters than the Cult of Thungi creates "Black Runesmiths" or whathaveyou.
Depending on how Incarnates are controlled (if they are controlled at all instead of being used fire and forget style) then the Ulgu and Chamon versions might not be all that practical. The ensuing elementals wouldn't be about death and destruction or even do area of effect damage around them to certain targets around them by their very nature like Hysh and Azyr might.
I don't know about Tomb Kings but quest canon is that Vampire souls are definitely altered. Just look at the passage where Mathilde glimpses Alkoohool's soul dhar vortex thing. Also if it weren't altered then Vampires wouldn't be able to use multiple Winds and Dhar without the typical drawbacks.
@BoneyM I Necrarchs consume Dhar for sustenance in potentially larger amounts than they create, what happens to that Dhar? Are they like mini-vortexes that can do the job of a Waystone, if only they weren't attached to usually horrible people that also want to increase environmental Dhar for their own gain?
Are you sure? As I understood it Qhaysh always requires all eight Winds to at least some extent to work an you can't learn a limited form of Qaysh after training only two Winds.

I am starting to think all Dawi are radicals in some way, they just either justify it away or say their brand of radicalism is actual tradition...
