This reads to me like the current plan is to steal it on the way back. Im sure that Mathilde and Ljiljana are capable of communicating something like that without us spending ap on it.

How do you plan on counting these? Just normally? Or will you compare wether more people voted for one of the cumulative options than voted for the previous ones only?
Also, what will be the difference in effect of these for the Wagons? Is it a speed increase? A cumulative decrease in mishap chance? Are there diminishing returns?
Because we are not actually present to see the terrain and at least in this specific vote the whole thing seems rather mechanistic and more crunch bound than narrative. If we are spending AP for straight number buffs on our d6s and d100s I'd like to know what we are buying.
Does this include discussions on bypassing that stretch of road completely, by going through Kul territory, the frozen Lake and more Wastes or by going through Ogre Kingdoms and looking for an easier way down, as far as Cathay if need be?
Because right now chances of getting five Wagons through there unharmed look very grim and the aforementioned solutions, though not very appealing ones, would have to be decided the moment we are turning back from Dum.

If we don't vote for this we would still be the contact person for the Dolgan once we encounter them with the whole convoy, right?
But if the Demigryph Knights are ranging ahead, won't they encounter Dolgan before we get a chance of confirming the deal and paying them to pass?

What is Hubert doing? I assume aerial reconnaissance for the Winter Wolves in near scouting?

[x] Attempt to make contact with the Yusak
[x] Preceptor Joerg von Zavstra
Rationale:
Barring clarification, I think one degree of RoW is enough.
I want to visit the Yusak before the whole convoy does, and if feasible connect it with Ranging Ahead, and if there's still a slot left also talk to Joerg while doing so.
Finally I am approval voting talking to one of the Wizards we haven't get met.

We met Solmann, in update 4 of Expedition.

I mean she did specifically want our help in retrieving it.
Not just a lift in and the protection of the caravan, she wanted us specifically to accompany her in retrieving it.
With that being the case ... she'd talk to us first. She wouldn't jump straight to "Mattie has forsaken our pact, I must act alone." She'd at least try "the hour is now, the artifact is within our grasp, we must go and recover it" and, you know, if we refused to accompany her then she might go and make an attempt to retrieve it.
At least, that's what makes sense to me.

Gah, the odds on the crossing are pretty atrocious. Unless we acquire any item or skill that would ease the passage on the way back at Dum, it's a serious consideration to go the other way. Otherwise if we're unlucky we're liable to lose most/all of the wagons and die.
@BoneyM how does the distance on the alternate (northern) route compared to the Skull Road? And, while we're at it, do we know of any specific dangers on that path that would threaten the expedition, particularly terrain-related ones that Rite of Way would not help with?
(This isn't really about solving the gap, so I think this should still be legal)

Well you would be driving over sea ice deep in the Wastes. I would rather take my chances with gravity honestly.

Let's maybe play it cool and wait a bit before talking about the return trip. You know, let the topic breathe for a bit.

I am not sufficiently familiar with sea ice, or the Wastes, to make a risk judgement, so that's why I'm asking what, specifically, we know.

as Boney put it, until we know the situation at Dum this discussion is premature and will just go in circles. We do not have enough information and can't get enough information until then.
At the current mass of the landships, not really going to be all that noticable unless the lubrication fails. Then it'd be very noticable, but in a "things go snap" way in general.
Count the top 4 options. The number of distinct Rite of Way actions in there are the degree of commitment. It can't fail unless someone does silly buggers and votes for the higher option without the lower option.
