Really don't like the Skaven option. That has the possibility of massively backfiring on us more than anything else.

There weren't any to get close to. The Under-Empire does not extend to Western Stirland. Let this be a lesson about metagaming.

Yeah, there aren't any Skaven in Stirland. As far as I can tell they had no real reason to reestablish themselves in Stirland after the original Van Hal kicked them out, as it was entirely drained of warpstone by both sides of that conflict (Hence Qrech calling it the "Exhausted-mine land").
 
Is it even remotely conceivable that the Grey college has some way to track *when* individual info-dump packets go off in any given member of the college's head?

None of the other options really stood out to me, Grief might be embarrassing but it rings more true to Mathilde.

Not entirely accurate as of latest WoQM:

OOC information: Not under Wurtbad, but there are under other parts of Stirland and Wurtbad would be the logical next step for expansion.

OTOH, that's explicitly OOC info so obviously Mathilde can't use it as backup here.
 
Don't forget - this is as much as about "What does Reiner Starke tell other people when they ask questions about this incident" as much as convincing him. It doesn't matter as much if he has doubts, moreso what story we want to tell others. And for that, some lies about exactly when we knew about the Skaven and when we acted against them fit perfectly.

Sylvania, not Stirland. Vanhel ruled Sylvania, the Warpstone rained on Sylvania.
 
Personally, I have no moral objection to lying here (the Skaven option); my concern is purely that the most successful lies have a basis in truth and the Skaven one (at least IC) doesn't. Now realistically lying isn't going to cause any immediate blowback or problems, but if someone who isn't just a random LM starts digging around it does open the door for them to spot an inconsistency. And that naturally leads to the question, 'why was she lying'? It's not a likely outcome, I'll admit, but it is one that the non-lying options don't have.
