Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
A poverty-sworn colleague who somehow owns an inn in nearly every major city in the Empire.
I'm not saying he'll support us if we decide to rob the mansion, but he's not totally inflexible.
I mean it'd be rather amazing.
'Here are the full Waystone schematics - bet you didn't expect this Lady Magister Mathilde'
'Here is Karak Drazh, completely emptied of greenskins. Didn't need a Throng either unlike that slacker Mathilde'
If Alric can meaningfully one up all or even some of the epic stuff Mathilde did then that's great; the world will be a better place and Mathilde can safely dedicate herself to enriching K8P's library and clearing her backlog of research until Alric becomes physically incapable - as the saviour of Vlag, reclaimer of Vala-Azril-Ungol and proud owner of Stirland's least notable fiefdom she's got more than enough titles and accolades.
If he tries to sabotage then there's a lot of people who can bring the hammer down on him.
Besides if Alric was good enough to diplomatically sabotage Mathilde he wouldn't be in this predicament to begin with.

Now that just warms the heart.
I'm all for this if we get a chance.
Don't sweat the timetable. Mathilde will work it out, she knocked out the other tasks this turn pretty efficiently and cleared the deck for this. If this runs to through the entire timeline it might eat an action from next turn.
At least one.
No. Being the Empress means not being capable of visiting somewhere discretely, and it'd raise just as many questions if Mathilde tries to claim she was just happening to make a full report of the matter to the Empress on the side.
It will come up over the next few updates.
Not a complete survey, but yes, it would give Mathilde a general idea.
Mira doesn't care about what Alric has done, she cares about what he's trying to do. Finding out more about what he's trying to foil is fulfilling Mira's request.
It would take another week to go get them and Shadowsteed them to Talabheim.
Yes.
If this gets out, it could very well end with Heidi being executed and little Mandred being tragic accidented. This isn't a matter of inconveniences.
He would have joined the Grey Order during or immediately after the sieges. He wouldn't join in, but for this family, there'd be a blind eye or two to be found.

Oh, right, the Colleges hate Dieter even more than anyone else.
...You know, as far as deeds done to get back into the good graces of the Colleges go, this is a pretty crummy one isn't it? Alric's really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

I'm getting more tempted to loot, so investigating the manor becomes more appealing as prep while still being useful in its own right.
Renegotiating the deal is an interesting option, but a potential snag seems to be: What if Mira just decides she's not interested, and at this point we've fulfilled our end of the bargain and she wants to deal with the rest in house? That would be a very awkward spot for Mathilde to be in.

Chaos being involved makes up for quite a few things, as opposition to them is in the mandate:
This situation fits article 15 perfectly.

Thanks, that settles my mind.

I prefer interrogating the Unfahigers over investigating Alberich's history as a ruler. Not that interested in spending valuable time on squeezing Mira for more.

I feel like people are missing a trick - we have a contact that Alric doesn't when it comes to investigating Alberich. Specifically:
I'm surprised this option hasn't come up. Abelhelm was a damn good witch hunter (see his unraveling of our own conspiracy entanglement), and he would have done significant research into his predecessor. And he'd specifically have been on the lookout for the sort of thing that leads to chaos rituals popping up afterwards.
Mathilde has the contacts with Roswita to get ahold of that research, while Alric was busy pissing Roswita off last time they met.

Oh sure, it's certainly in the job description, but it's barely the big victory everyone will be impressed by and love him for that he needs. He might be able to sell it as such, but the victims in question make it a much trickier task than almost any other equivalent deed would accomplish.

I've read Alric as having great charisma but terrible interpersonal skills. By all reason his career should've been dead after his first fiasco. He still won fair and square though, kept it even. Something like, they already disowned Dieter IV, familicide of a noble bloodline is pretty big news. The colleges were aware and didn't move a finger, while the others were doing nothing but politics, he went out into the world and helped the most needing of help he could. Wouldn't you know it, he was fighting the Chaos Gods the whole time, what the colleges were built for. Boom, great deed, ride high for a while.
In the abstract of course, still don't know the whole reason why he's here.
Mathilde can probably tell and come out better for it. She made a friend with Egrimm, traded for him for a favor, got shut out by de-facto patriarch when they learned the ex-patriarch was dealing with chaos.
Probably shouldn't worry about it happening though. Mathilde's college rep is pretty high, displeasing her when cooperation's on the table is unlikely. Dishonest on her part too since the whole bedrock of the favor trading is that she's short on manpower, not needing our help when the situation was bigger than they thought is a lot of dirt on the college.

A compelling argument, but I don't like renegotiating with Mira yet, or possibly at all.

I like Plan Research but thinking about it, I agree that it makes sense to look into Alberich's fate before checking into Murder rituals. So here's a variant.
