On Thread Etiquette:

I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

I am relatively new to the lore and I read somewhere in the thread that The Anscestors are going to disappear sometime in the next 3 turns. @soulcake ,is there any way to delay them till we finish our capstone? And roll for a vist?
 
@soulcake , @Xepheria

Not sure if you are aware of this right now, but the tally is a bit wonky - it's not registering the 6 Prods dropped into Mind of Things in Plan Research Explosion, for some reason.

    [X] Plan Research Explosion
    -[X] March: [Cost: 1 action] Begin event, "Fimir Campaign Pt. 1." Your body is healed, your fury roaring like the fires of a freshly stoked furnace. Let them know the anger of a Runelord roused to anger! Let them know the contempt of the wronged and that the Dwarfs shall never, never, allow a debt to remain unsettled if they can help it! [1AP]
    -[X] The Road to Anoqeyån Pt. 2: [Cost: 6 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Gain exceptional- understanding of Anoqeyån. Now that Menlinwen has taught you the very fundamentals of the Elven arcane language, she feels comfortable enough to begin teaching you to the same level she has reached. Going any further beyond this point requires waiting for Menlinwen to become an Archmage or for you to find one yourself. [1AP]
    -[X] Involve Yorri: [Cost +1 action] Gain x3 Yorri prods. Your Master would obviously love to continue learning as well.
    -[X] [Difficult] Understanding the Armour: [Cost: (6 -5) =1 action] Master of the Odd will proc. Gain Movement of Things Progress, ???. You have absolutely no clue how and why Barak Azamar managed to drag whatever the Construct is from wherever it came from and seemingly bound it to your equipment. There's a mystery afoot, and you want to figure out why and how this happened before you can even begin thinking about the implications of what it all means. [1AP]
    -[X] [Difficult] The Movement of Things Pt. 5, new totals: [Cost: (14 -7) =7 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Energy, energy, energy. All Runes require it, such is the basis of their existence. You know that most Runes likely draw upon the Winds of Magic. But you also know that the Deep Magic, the power of the Earth, is a truly massive wellspring of energy, if one reaches deep enough that is. You have taken the first tentative steps to using it, but want to see, to truly understand that flow, and hopefully one day control it as easily as you could your hammer. [1AP]
    --[X] Prod Yorri: [Cost: 1 prod] Gain 1d2+1 progress, can be taken multiple times. Master Yorri simply chuckles mysteriously at you. [3 Prods]
    -[X] [Difficult] The Mind of Things Pt. 4: [Cost: (10 -6) =4 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. The transfer of sensation, taste, touch, smell, sight and sound. Yorri has made it clear that at its core all of these senses are simply the transfer of information from your body to your mind. And just as he no doubt intended, it's gotten you thinking. Thinking about perhaps using your newfound knowledge and applying it in a more general fashion. Like perhaps sharing memory or thoughts without any chance of miscommunication. You doubt it will be that easy of course, but you have to start from somewhere. [1AP]
    -[X] [Simple] Firebird's Feather: [Cost: (2 -1) =1 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. You've got a feather! Its an odd little piece of deep red flaming plumage that emanates a faint heat and sometimes combusts into flames that do no lasting damage to it. Transported at great expense, barely a dent in your coffers though, and with a few notes and tales about the animal in question that it came from. A simple enough task to figure out what this thing will do. There's a large body of work regarding the firebirds of the north already, and you can use that as a good starting point in your own research. [1 Research Action]
    -[X] [Simple] A Wonderful Endeavour: [Cost: 24 actions] Minimum completion date end of Turn 52. Peerless Production will proc for general actions. You have begun pondering the meaning of legacy more often in your old age. To leave something behind to carry on long after you have entered the Halls of your Forebears. Your apprentices are your most important, yet the most limited in the grand scheme. The Runes and creations you create are less personal, but greater in scope and reach. This. This shall bridge that gap, take the best of both and make something beyond them. A place you can build and cultivate, one whose reach is so vast that the name Snorri Klausson will not merely be one of the Runelords of the Past, but a figure even the common Dwarf shall know many centuries, nay millennia, after you have died. This will define you in a way few other things have; more than the defeating of a great enemy, or the forging of a mighty item of power, it is to build something wondrous and in doing, irreversibly change everything forever. [0AP]
    --[X] Petition the Hold: [Cost: 15 Kraka Drakk Favour] Gain 1 progress, can only be taken 3 times a turn and without action input. Begin speaking with the King, the various Guilds and Clans in Kraka Drakk to contribute to the Workshop's construction. [45 Drakk Favour]
    -[X] [Simple] Lion Autopsy: [Cost: 3 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Even in death, you must admit there is a fierce beauty to the animal. Several of its organs lie preserved in magically enchanted jars, put there by the Hunter who slew the massive feline and part of the order itself. Though without the use of Runes who's to say about their freshness. Regardless, it's still worth investigating. [1 Karstah Action]
    --[X] Destructive Research: [Cost: 2 White Lion Corpses] Gain 1d2 progress, can be taken multiple times. You have enough corpses that you feel comfortable making a few unusable in the name of learning. [4 White Lion Corpses]
    -[X] The Throng is Mustered: [Cost: 1 retainer action] Can be taken multiple times. Gain Bonus to Throng Rolls against Fimir, additional actions apply bonus to roll. Minor Chance for Casualties/Fatalities. The King of Kraka Drakk calls the Throng to war, lend the might of your Retainers to his cause. You have no real clue as to how developed the Fimir presence is, but given the corpse Rudil dragged back you have a feeling they've been here a while.
    -[X] Scouting: [Cost: 1 retainer action] Gain minor bonus to Waystone rolls. Can be taken multiple times. Roll for usefulness, additional actions apply bonus to roll. Send out your Retainers, scour the Far North to see if there's some of these stones that Master Yorri Missed.
    -[X] Waywarding: [Cost: 1 action or retainer action] Gain bonus to Waystone rolls and update on status of Waystones. Can be taken multiple times. There is no set time in which you or your retainers are meant to check on these stone monoliths, but doing so more regularly will mean that you're more likely to keep them safe and know their status.

There's a large body of work regarding the firebirds of the north already, and you can use that as a good starting point in your own research. [1 Research Action]

It's skipping over from Mind of Things straight to Firebird Feather.

Nope, it is one of the things mentioned in quest, we can never, ever change it, unfortunately. :(
 
(*Updated*)[ ] [Simple] Apprentice work: [Cost: 1 apprentice or heir action] Can be taken multiple times. Roll for usefulness. Your young charges are now of an age you feel it acceptable for them to do a bit of exploration. Send your apprentices out into the hold and pick up a few tasks from whoever offers it to them. Give them a bit of experience for their upcoming trial as journeymen and let them build a reputation in the hold. You'll of course critique their work and use it as a learning experience as any good master ought to.
Do we have apprentices still? I thought Karstark and Nain were masters now

Not sure if you are aware of this right now, but the tally is a bit wonky - it's not registering the 6 Prods dropped into Mind of Things in Plan Research Explosion, for some reason.

    [X] Plan Research Explosion
    -[X] March: [Cost: 1 action] Begin event, "Fimir Campaign Pt. 1." Your body is healed, your fury roaring like the fires of a freshly stoked furnace. Let them know the anger of a Runelord roused to anger! Let them know the contempt of the wronged and that the Dwarfs shall never, never, allow a debt to remain unsettled if they can help it! [1AP]
    -[X] The Road to Anoqeyån Pt. 2: [Cost: 6 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Gain exceptional- understanding of Anoqeyån. Now that Menlinwen has taught you the very fundamentals of the Elven arcane language, she feels comfortable enough to begin teaching you to the same level she has reached. Going any further beyond this point requires waiting for Menlinwen to become an Archmage or for you to find one yourself. [1AP]
    -[X] Involve Yorri: [Cost +1 action] Gain x3 Yorri prods. Your Master would obviously love to continue learning as well.
    -[X] [Difficult] Understanding the Armour: [Cost: (6 -5) =1 action] Master of the Odd will proc. Gain Movement of Things Progress, ???. You have absolutely no clue how and why Barak Azamar managed to drag whatever the Construct is from wherever it came from and seemingly bound it to your equipment. There's a mystery afoot, and you want to figure out why and how this happened before you can even begin thinking about the implications of what it all means. [1AP]
    -[X] [Difficult] The Movement of Things Pt. 5, new totals: [Cost: (14 -7) =7 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Energy, energy, energy. All Runes require it, such is the basis of their existence. You know that most Runes likely draw upon the Winds of Magic. But you also know that the Deep Magic, the power of the Earth, is a truly massive wellspring of energy, if one reaches deep enough that is. You have taken the first tentative steps to using it, but want to see, to truly understand that flow, and hopefully one day control it as easily as you could your hammer. [1AP]
    --[X] Prod Yorri: [Cost: 1 prod] Gain 1d2+1 progress, can be taken multiple times. Master Yorri simply chuckles mysteriously at you. [3 Prods]
    -[X] [Difficult] The Mind of Things Pt. 4: [Cost: (10 -6) =4 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. The transfer of sensation, taste, touch, smell, sight and sound. Yorri has made it clear that at its core all of these senses are simply the transfer of information from your body to your mind. And just as he no doubt intended, it's gotten you thinking. Thinking about perhaps using your newfound knowledge and applying it in a more general fashion. Like perhaps sharing memory or thoughts without any chance of miscommunication. You doubt it will be that easy of course, but you have to start from somewhere. [1AP]
    -[X] [Simple] Firebird's Feather: [Cost: (2 -1) =1 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. You've got a feather! Its an odd little piece of deep red flaming plumage that emanates a faint heat and sometimes combusts into flames that do no lasting damage to it. Transported at great expense, barely a dent in your coffers though, and with a few notes and tales about the animal in question that it came from. A simple enough task to figure out what this thing will do. There's a large body of work regarding the firebirds of the north already, and you can use that as a good starting point in your own research. [1 Research Action]
    -[X] [Simple] A Wonderful Endeavour: [Cost: 24 actions] Minimum completion date end of Turn 52. Peerless Production will proc for general actions. You have begun pondering the meaning of legacy more often in your old age. To leave something behind to carry on long after you have entered the Halls of your Forebears. Your apprentices are your most important, yet the most limited in the grand scheme. The Runes and creations you create are less personal, but greater in scope and reach. This. This shall bridge that gap, take the best of both and make something beyond them. A place you can build and cultivate, one whose reach is so vast that the name Snorri Klausson will not merely be one of the Runelords of the Past, but a figure even the common Dwarf shall know many centuries, nay millennia, after you have died. This will define you in a way few other things have; more than the defeating of a great enemy, or the forging of a mighty item of power, it is to build something wondrous and in doing, irreversibly change everything forever. [0AP]
    --[X] Petition the Hold: [Cost: 15 Kraka Drakk Favour] Gain 1 progress, can only be taken 3 times a turn and without action input. Begin speaking with the King, the various Guilds and Clans in Kraka Drakk to contribute to the Workshop's construction. [45 Drakk Favour]
    -[X] [Simple] Lion Autopsy: [Cost: 3 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. Even in death, you must admit there is a fierce beauty to the animal. Several of its organs lie preserved in magically enchanted jars, put there by the Hunter who slew the massive feline and part of the order itself. Though without the use of Runes who's to say about their freshness. Regardless, it's still worth investigating. [1 Karstah Action]
    --[X] Destructive Research: [Cost: 2 White Lion Corpses] Gain 1d2 progress, can be taken multiple times. You have enough corpses that you feel comfortable making a few unusable in the name of learning. [4 White Lion Corpses]
    -[X] The Throng is Mustered: [Cost: 1 retainer action] Can be taken multiple times. Gain Bonus to Throng Rolls against Fimir, additional actions apply bonus to roll. Minor Chance for Casualties/Fatalities. The King of Kraka Drakk calls the Throng to war, lend the might of your Retainers to his cause. You have no real clue as to how developed the Fimir presence is, but given the corpse Rudil dragged back you have a feeling they've been here a while.
    -[X] Scouting: [Cost: 1 retainer action] Gain minor bonus to Waystone rolls. Can be taken multiple times. Roll for usefulness, additional actions apply bonus to roll. Send out your Retainers, scour the Far North to see if there's some of these stones that Master Yorri Missed.
    -[X] Waywarding: [Cost: 1 action or retainer action] Gain bonus to Waystone rolls and update on status of Waystones. Can be taken multiple times. There is no set time in which you or your retainers are meant to check on these stone monoliths, but doing so more regularly will mean that you're more likely to keep them safe and know their status.

Hm. I'll edit the prods into the main action so they don't get swallowed by the tally.
 
We're making a gronti. Jury is still out on if it's going to be a dragon or a runesmith one. Presumably in a few turns when research requirements for the two ideas start to diverge is when we'll have to settle on one or the other.
As an example, a Dragon needs to be able to fly. Otherwise it's just an upjumped lizard with delusions of grandeur :V

You have absolutely no clue how and why Barak Azamar managed to drag whatever the Construct is from wherever it came from and seemingly bound it to your equipment. There's a mystery afoot, and you want to figure out why and how this happened before you can even begin thinking about the implications of what it all means. [1AP]

You know that most Runes likely draw upon the Winds of Magic. But you also know that the Deep Magic, the power of the Earth, is a truly massive wellspring of energy, if one reaches deep enough that is. You have taken the first tentative steps to using it, but want to see, to truly understand that flow, and hopefully one day control it as easily as you could your hammer. [1AP] [3 Prods]

Yorri has made it clear that at its core all of these senses are simply the transfer of information from your body to your mind. And just as he no doubt intended, it's gotten you thinking. Thinking about perhaps using your newfound knowledge and applying it in a more general fashion. Like perhaps sharing memory or thoughts without any chance of miscommunication. You doubt it will be that easy of course, but you have to start from somewhere. [1AP] [6 Prods]
-[] [Simple] Firebird's Feather: [Cost: (2 -1) =1 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. You've got a feather! Its an odd little piece of deep red flaming plumage that emanates a faint heat and sometimes combusts into flames that do no lasting damage to it. Transported at great expense, barely a dent in your coffers though, and with a few notes and tales about the animal in question that it came from. A simple enough task to figure out what this thing will do. There's a large body of work regarding the firebirds of the north already, and you can use that as a good starting point in your own research. [1 Research Action]
-[] [Simple] A Wonderful Endeavour: [Cost: 24 actions] Minimum completion date end of Turn 52. Peerless Production will proc for general actions. You have begun pondering the meaning of legacy more often in your old age. To leave something behind to carry on long after you have entered the Halls of your Forebears. Your apprentices are your most important, yet the most limited in the grand scheme. The Runes and creations you create are less personal, but greater in scope and reach. This. This shall bridge that gap, take the best of both and make something beyond them. A place you can build and cultivate, one whose reach is so vast that the name Snorri Klausson will not merely be one of the Runelords of the Past, but a figure even the common Dwarf shall know many centuries, nay millennia, after you have died. This will define you in a way few other things have; more than the defeating of a great enemy, or the forging of a mighty item of power, it is to build something wondrous and in doing, irreversibly change everything forever.

Several of its organs lie preserved in magically enchanted jars, put there by the Hunter who slew the massive feline and part of the order itself.

Dorden increases contribution and production of Warmachines towards war effort, Ravsnvake gains improved ranger weapons. The Karak will send forces to clear the groves by the end of Turn 48. Minor to Moderate Chance for Casualties/Fatalities. While solid, dependable metal is the preferred material of choice for any Dwarf. The truth is that certain things require good solid wood like a Grudgethrower ,Bolt Hurlers and Throwers and their smaller cousins. Dorden Rangers have found several natural groves of Wutroth, and had the Carpenters confirm sites suitable for a few more, but the area itself is infested with ice wolves of immense size and ferocity.
-[] Waywarding: [Cost: 1 action or retainer action] Gain bonus to Waystone rolls and update on status of Waystones. Can be taken multiple times. There is no set time in which you or your retainers are meant to check on these stone monoliths, but doing so more regularly will mean that you're more likely to keep them safe and know their status.
-[] ORDER: Write-in: 1x Frostbird Feather

Karstah's Heir action is moved to starting a new waystone reroll from the White Lion Autopsy, while the Hearthguard's Scouting action is swapped to Securing the Woods.

The White Lion autopsy isn't so urgent we need to overkill it to finish it this turn, particularly since it'll leave us with no corpses to use as reagents. This still has a 75% chance to finish the autopsy this turn and gets halfway to a waystone reroll, which we are in need of, with the Fimir continuing to corrupt the monoliths.
Additionally, our retainers are sent to secure a supply of war machines for the war, along with better weapons for rangers. These war machines are badly needed to deal with Fimir monsters, heavily armored warriors, and fortified cities, while finding more waystones can wait a turn or two.

Hm. In general I agree with the logic here, if Lion Autopsy can actually complete via destructive research without a corresponding action invested in it - this isn't how things usually work, from my experience.

@soulcake would you be able to clarify here?

I've swapped in Secure the Woods for Scouting, since your point about the seige engines for Fimir cities is a valid one.
 
@soulcake didn't see if you reopened the floodgates for runes but I did remember you saying something about armor and banner runes and I had an idea for both:

Master Rune of the Boar (Armor): A boar has many qualities which are worthy of esteem: Stubbornness, rage, and hardiness among them. This rune, created by Valka the Strange after a hunt that left her half dead, grants these qualities to any wearing the armor, though their worse qualities are also emphasized and they act more, for lack of a better word, like an ass. (In TT terms no using them as general)

Master Rune of Berserk: A rune of anger, a rune of woe. Those Dwarfs who fight under a banner bearing this element gain a brutal edge to their fighting and a horrific anger, slaying and destroying the foe. Created by Thalnir the Orphaned during the Great Incursion (if this isn't the Dwarf term I can fix it) after his father was slain, pouring his malice and desire for vengeance into raw silk and leather.
