Hey now, that's a legitimate strategy when up against the actual God of Violence.

My rational side: That's not how probability works.Even though Mathilde would wait for the appropriate time to explode the enemy, we've been rolling fairly well recently. The dice gods could decide we roll poorly and our fire might cause the collateral damage we are trying to avoid. So I'm cautious to use it.
So here's my worry.
My personal theory behind how Heidi managed to fool several incredibly skilled and highly funded organisations (Emperor's Eyes, Witch Hunters, Colleges, Cult of Sigmar etc.) is not that she had a foolproof story. Personally I think it would be utterly ridiculous to expect her to have conjured one out of thin air within such a short time that resulted in all these organisations somehow missing that she never existed.
My theory behind how she managed to fool all of them is simple. Ranald spending the majority of the juice he got from Gork and Mork on this one gambit. If Ranald, one of the Old World's Major Gods, expends all the energy he stole, he could make any number of coincidences and lucky breaks occur to make it so that all the different organisations never come across the exact leads they need or come to false conclusions, creating an effective comedy of errors.
The problem here is that I don't think Ranald can do that again on a whim, not without another Gork (or possibly Mork) incident. Which isn't exactly a common occurence. This isn't to say that her story is full of holes and easily discoverable or anything, but that I wouldn't want to risk the Empire's organisations checking again.
He thinks we've just got really good at spying:I do wonder what our former master thinks of our disappear into crowds trick. Does he think that we have a mastery of "take no heed"?
I think he realizes that it's not just some Ulgu trick, because he has Windsight and he would notice that. Some uses of the coin are obviously supernatural, like if Mathilde talked to Regimand and then suddenly vanished it would be obvious there's something weird going on, but I imagine Mathilde isn't flaunting her secret artifact in that way."Your tradecraft has improved," Regimand says from the rooftop beside you. "Didn't even see you until you popped up."
Everything being said, I think I now can be convinced to focus on getting the sword style up on line.
Because if an everchosion candidate is rolling 37 in there favourite(or at least one of) skills…
I don't want to be getting into a scrap with one of the more combative picks as mathy currently is.
At that point, it'd be a case of 'call in our Lights and Johann, approach Alric, throw every witch hunter order we can contact at the problem, and report a panic situation to Algard to see if he can get Dragomas to show up in person to help'. An Everchosen candidate who has the strength to make a serious play for the title isn't somebody you take half-measures with.Especially when you consider that Alberich is doing this ritual in order to give him the strength to become a viable contender for the Everchosen contest. He's not there yet, but it's likely that other candidates have already completed their power up/training montage and have moved into the next weight category.
If we were confronting Alberich after his dedication ritual, this whole thing would have gone very differently.
