Honestly, this only popped into my head because this exact thing happened to an apprentice Wizard during my first ever game of WFRP.

What kind of game were you running that you entered a magic flooded area with a Basic Career? That seems like the kind of stuff typically reserved for Advanced Careers.

They might have been if they weren't accompanied by a frankly overtuned party of Lords and Heroes alongside an ancient dragon and six Steam Tanks focused on transportation.A light journeyman, on an Expedition to Karag Dum organized by a Grey Magister

By WFRP standards, those Journeymen were in a relatively safe adventuring party, compared to some of the shit you can get up to.

That has removed so much pressure from this for me. While we're out trying to get perspectives to join us, I was worried that the people who have already agreed might be getting antsy.

My speculation is that "the side that was willing to pay more" was himself. He stole the treasure, thus removing the reason for the nomad's fight to continue and giving himself the funds to continue his journeys.

Thank you for your insight, we never would have noticed without you
We know that, it's just that if the « No » loose we still get to choose our favourite/less bad option.
Ya, like walking into a basic swamp.
I'm not joking, the way WFRP works with dangerous territory, deseses and poison animals the standard wastes area is far easier to deal with.
Don't go into the swamp, GM is bored of the campaign and wants to party wipe.

Aren't LM's apprentices only by the standards of the Tower of Hoeth - aka the most prestigious institution of magical learning?
By the standards of ordinary elves LM's would be likely be moderately respectable Loremasters; no big deal but also not quite chumps.

He's the only one that can do stuff Thorek can't (and possibly know stuff Thorek doesn't).

An elvish Loremaster has centuries of experience, so LM definitely aren't equal to them. They have what, 50 to 80 years of experience? Better than nothing sure, and any non caster elf would probably be careful, but nothing compared to an elvish Mage with 4 times more experience.
But the argument is moot, because Boney said that the Perpetual wouldn't be judged as a spellcaster but as a scholar, because that's what we would make him do.

Some of the diseases and poisons out there are frankly ludicrous if you weren't prepared for them specifically. Oh no, I failed my single Toughness Test for Heartkill, guess I'll just die in 2d10 rounds if I don't spend a fate point since I wasn't specifically prepared for this with an Anti Toxin kit or conveniently had a Shallyan or Light Wizard nearby with the appropriate spell.

IIRC, Magnus the Pious sent us, an actual Wizard (who was the Wizard Apprentice's master), a Witch Hunter and their apprentice to go find out WTF was happening somewhere. I don't remember properly, it's been a while. I do remember that fucking with the Apprentice was something we did a lot. We convinced him a wolf named sheep we had was actually a sheep at one point.

There is nothing quite like g getting 3 in game days into a generic swamp in Nordland and having your barber surgeon get beaten half to death by cultists just after your groups duelist gets sick, and the knight that you sent back that game for some medicine to break his leg running.
and then the last guy standing (thief turned grave robber) to get attacked by something poisonous (I don't actually remember what).
what I do remember is the GM scanning the book for 10 minutes before just telling us that he donest think there is a way to survive at this point, cross out a fate point or roll a new Character.

I'd like to do Roswita and Stirland in general together. Better to have two reasons for one trip.

That sounds like WFRP alright. The game goes overboard with the rules sometimes. I don't think I want to play in a system like that. Too much granularity really slows down Tabletop RPGs. I've seen a guy spend 10 minutes in a single DnD 5e turn as a new player, I don't want to imagine that in WFRP.

Huh. Didn't something similar happen to the Haupt-Anderssens in Stirland at quest start?

Lahmians played a Hard Knock Life on them yes. Killed them one by one until the last one got so desperate he tried Daemon summoning and got sucked into the Realm of Chaos.
