Sorry just thought of an additional follow-up, would she have already make a name for herself as a reputable/highly ranked wizard at that time? I.e. Dark lady of Nuln or LM

I agree, I don't feel the need to renegotiate with Mira. Would rather use the time on something directly useful to cracking the case in the limited time we have.

This would be far from the first time someone's sold themselves to the Dark Gods for vengeance, and the Dark Gods tend to act in patterns. Research earlier examples of the same phenomenon.

Eight quiet murders in one family forty years. Eight brutal murders in one family in forty months. This smacks of some sort of ritual. Go digging through every resource you can find for what this might be about, and what might happen if it goes uninterrupted.

Plenty have pointed at this as super cute. Put I wanna point out that this is the largest bonus we've ever seen (I'm waiting on the inevitable correction here). And also ten times more than the malus of AP hell. And it's not even particularly life or death. Magic dad just wants to spend some time with his magic daughter and do magic family stuff. Like investigate murderous cults.
Unrelated: I really appreciate the fast updates recently. The quality has always been phenomenal, but I kind of missed the quick turnaround on updates. It gives the quest a whole different energy. And it (hopefully) means Boney is doing well because he's got the time and muse to write that much. Writing takes a good chunk of time, especially when your using the level of research and thought Boney does.

If there was a bigger bonus than that, then we were not privy to it. Boney does not give bonuses that big. Even venturing into other quests you'll find it hard to find +100 on a roll. I remember Rhunrikki Strollar had a few, but those were from Thungni and the Ancestor Gods, which is where I would expect +100s to be thrown around.

The closest matchup to my own priorities, enough so that I'm on board with all of this. It's been too long since we've had a good round of Mindholing, and now we can be Mindhole buddies with our dad! I regret this phrasing.

Can I ask who does Mathilde view as her closest bond as of this update?
Abelheim had to take over Regimand for a while, don't know if it's maintained though.
I know that Mathilde felt betrayed(?) when she felt that Regimand sold her out for the conspiracy.
We know that Mathilde undervalues Regimand's affections at least, but does anyone know if we have an IC reason?
Ranald's a contender, she's not really big on faith when it comes to him. More secret santa but no one keeps track of the score. IC she's also described him regularly as her closest and long friend.
Panoramia? She's spent the most time with her recently, most fun too, also gives domestic vibes.
Wolf? Other than the soul bond, he hasn't really had any defining interactions.

That said, if our investigation has us finding a situation where having a LM Light wizard is going to be very useful, and we know we have a bit of time before the excretion impacts the propeller, it may be worthwhile to ride down and pick up someone from Altdoft. And if it is, I'd want to renegotiate while we are there.
Both to give us the 'profit motive' cover for why we are spending extra effort on this and to, well... profit in some manner.
Of course, that would have to be balanced against the increased risk of complication that might arise because of adding more people and the opportunity cost of riding to Altdorf and back.

Yes. How could having a Magister Patriarch view us as a personal enemy possibly be an issue for us if he can't go running to daddy. Even a former Magister Patriarch (as Alric will hopefully soon be) is going to have a lot of personal power and connections left to him, and I don't trust someone as seemingly petty in his gloryhounding as Alric to not view spite and vengeance as a valid motive for fuckery.
In general, the point I was making is that whatever consequences you were concerned about occurring from Alric being able to chase us into the streets could just as well fall on us later if he IDs us, because while we may not be a public figure to the general population it's a different story within the ecosystem of the Colleges. So saying the Night Prowler would let us get away "scot-free" even if busted in the act is false. The example I gave of Alric showing up at the Project to say "so about that thing you did" was a rhetorical example meant to illustrate that, not a literal indication that I thought the only possible fallout would be Alric wanting to complain to our manager.
If you'd like a less rhetorical example, the thread has repeatedly floated the idea of bringing in new contributors by doing Mathilde Shit for them - and indeed, here we are doing just that. Do you want to deal with Alric deciding turnabout is fair play and fucking with our efforts to do that the next time it comes up? Because I don't. Whether he succeeded in that aim or not, it's a complication we don't need.
To be honest I am kind of dubious about interrogating the people on the hunting lodge, not because I think they are any risk mind, but just because if any of them knew anything big they would have tried to leverage it to get protection from Alric and... as bad as he might be I do not see him refusing it in that case.
There is also the odd chance that the daemon has contacts at the hunting lodge, like among the servants which would allow it to know there is a new player in the game. A hunting lodge after all is in the middle of nowhere so we could not count on the coin for extraction.
Actually, wait... are we about to show off the Night Prowler to Regimand? Not that I am against it mind but I am sure it will raise some eyebrows.

We are mindholing them.
If there are servants, they'll get mindholed as well. Doesn't matter if the daemon has contacts, no one will remember us.
And Mathilde is a very good infiltrator even without the coin.
One thing I'm curious about is whether or not Alric knows who the killer is. I suspect he doesn't, otherwise he'd have taken better steps to protect all of the family members, rather than the most powerful ones, so we actually might have stolen the lead here.
