@Boney Not that I plan on voting for it this turn, but what sort of action would most fit attempting to scout out possible trade deals/attempt trade negotiations with House Mardil for transporation of products from the Karaz Ankor or the Empire?
 
[X] Plan: Slow, Steady And Divinely Empowered Wins The Race
-[X] MAX: Use kitting out his workshop as a pretext to get to know House Miriel and the local Cult of Vaul
-[X] JOHANN: Train with and study the freshly-attached golden arm
-[X] WEB-MAT: Attempt to recruit someone to WEB-MAT - Hugo Bann
-[X] Furnish the research spaces of the Waystone Project HQ (specify how much: 2000gc for Laurelorn-grade)
-[X] Attempt to bring an organisation into the Waystone Project (The Jade Order)
--[X] The Gambler: Attempt to bring the Jade Order into the Waystone Project
-[X] Investigate how the Vitae reacts with Divine Magic
-[X] EIC: Insert agents into Talabecland administration to start gathering their secrets
-[X] Seek official recognition of Kron-Azril-Ungol as an affiliated library of the Colleges of Magic
-[X] SERENITY: Windsoak Mushrooms Book (1/2)

So I explained my logic why above but I think double or even triple recruiting is wasteful of the benefits the coin brings to the table. Max to get more info on the elves, Johann to follow up on his arm with Egrimm, Hugo because why wouldn't we want to bring in the best enchanter we know for waystones + winderding enchantments. Recruiting the Jades with the coin so we have a college on board. Divine AV so we can finally maybe get AV done.

Alarm went off, posted vote, now back to sleep.
 
[X] Plan: Slow and Steady Research with Double Recruitment

Looks good, there is a part of me that wants to do the dark magic elves, but hopefully we can get to know them with a social action before we commit to something more time consuming.
 
[X] Plan: Slow and Steady Research with Double Recruitment

We did a full-court press last turn, using all our actions for project things, and I would like to do one item of personal and not professional interest, so I am probably going to edit in a lot of approval votes for things that hit up the Divine Magic research tree.

I find it funny that this plan's name is slow and steady. Remember the last time we had a plan with that name?

From the windows of your Entrance Hall, you can immediately see the cause: perched atop the frozen peak of Karag Zilfin is an enormous pure-white dragon, clawing at its face and roaring in distress. Then with a single gesture of its claw, you see and hear and feel and somehow taste pure Hysh thrumming through the air, and the dragon stills, its head swinging this way and that as it takes in the mountains. Then with another roar - this one very clearly not of reactive, surprised anger, but the low, reverberating roar of a promise of terrible vengeance - it climbs headfirst down the side of the near-vertical face of Karag Zilfin and disappears back into the mountain.

Revised arguments:
1. We have too much work to do getting this effort off the ground to spend any personal research actions. Once it's actually up and rolling we can afford to spend some personal time, but for now it's "RECRUIT".
2. Max might as well make himself useful making some local contacts.
3. We had Johann cut off his own arm. We sort of owe it to him to let him figure out the new one.
4. We need the Light Order and Egrimm is the guy to get it.
5. We need the Jade Order in on this, and Mathilde is the one to get it.
6. Vicerene Cadaeth was the one who convinced us to do this in the first place, and the Ward of Frost is her Ward. Roping her into matters should be relatively simple. Get some local resources committed to this.
7. We need to get the research space set up,
8. Accepted Redshirt's argument not to step on Egrimm's toes with the Windfall publication.
9. I do not want to send the Hochlander after freaking Alfric. Whatever steps Alfric has lost, he still has more steps than the Hochlander has ever had in his life. On the other hand, setting up a shadow HQ is something that might well unlock more actions and abilities in the future. This might well be a good turn to do it, when there's nothing desperately more important. And from a meta perspective, there's obviously a lot of urge to make the fief someplace interesting. If we take this action. Boney will do so!
10. Okay, on the library? It's too early for reciprocal relationships or such. Need more presitge first. Okay, sure. Getting in magical texts is a cheap and easy slam dunk we have the authority to make happen, so we might as well do it.
11. Gambler on the Jade Order since I think they'll be the toughest sell. Waystone knowledge is religious for them in a way I don't think it is for the Light Order; plus we are approaching as an outsider.

I don't really think the Alric situation is in our wheelhouse but it's not as if there's anything more pressing to be done with the EIC.

I have to disagree about the supposed rush we are in some people are stating. Everything we have seen paints the opposite picture the Elves and dwarves opperate on such a long time scale we dont have immediate time pressures. Now maybe that changes once the ball is properly rolling and we have more human orgs involved but right now is very much a time when there is no expectation of 'product' so we can slow roll a little to make sure we pick up the peices with out dedicating literally every waking moment to the project.

If nothing else it's not like having more spies hurts, we could have spies in all the provinces of the empire eventually, just so we can get reports that are not random rumors from the local tavern.
