Is that a sarcastic remark or a genuine answer? Because the skills a mortician needs to make a body presentable has significant overlap with actual surgery and the hand-eye coordination needed for accurate small-scale suturing.
So Dwarven medicine genuinely doesn't have any solutions to organ wounds or reconnecting or closing off major blood vessels other than hoping and praying? That's a genuine shame, I'd thought, hoped rather, that if anyone could exhibit that level of surgical proficiency it would have been the Dwarves.
Yes, I think we should be negotiating with Vlag this coming turn to get access to its books.
Do elven culture allows for such a level of anatomical study? Or do Elves outright bypass the need for such things with magic?
Would the Dwarfs be more willing to engage in those types of studies if they had a steady supply of Dawi-Zharr corpses, or does their cultural mores protect them as well?
For that matter would they be willing to accept medical insights from humans and the Eonir haul? There are some biological differences but there are even more biological similarities, some of the knowledge should be cross-applicable. There's also that human biologist who conducted autopsies on Dwarven corpses and made notes on their biology until he was killed by Dwarves for desecrating Dwarven corpses. Would they be willing to use the knowledge gained from that to improve their medical practices or does it fall under the fruit of the poisoned tree? There's also that Skaven book on Dawn-Zharr anatomy we translated, would that be of any use to them or does that fall under the fruit of the poisoned tree doctrine again since its origin is both Dawi-Zharr and Skaven?
The only thing that I could imagine delaying that is if we go on the Elfternship next turn, want to make contacts to buy books (which has been previously stated to be a thing that needs to be done in Lothern or Marienburg), and need to use a Library action to do so.
Remember that magic turns them to stone in-quest.
Right, for some reason I had it in my head that that was more about the winds themselves than magic spells cast by friendlies....wait if that's the case wouldn't Mathilde's attempt to find Gotrek and heal him with the seed have been doomed to failure no matter what?
The truly cursed thing is that thats not even that the current org sheet wasn't up to date...somehow i just had the wrong version??? despite having, i thought, double checked at the time...maybe some issue with saved drafts or cached web pages cause i'm sure i had a couple tabs open from earlier in the week still? Thanks for the headsup either way, i'll update the diffchecker and fix those
Well that just turns it from Live Autopsy into Aggressive Paleontology.
Believe you meant 'Skaven' here.
Spoken Queekish has many dialects. Written Queekish does not. So we can read every sort of Skaven text.
...That we know of.
You can also apply a cipher in any language. I suspect that at least the Skyr warlords all have their own cyphers.
While I imagine the Grey Order subscribes to the best secret being the one you never speak or write down, I'm not so sure Skaven necessarily think the same way.
