beyond the reasonability of the plan, "divine fingerprint" was the name for putting an image of a god in a magic crystal. just having one of those images wouldn't allow doing that.
Simple Mathilde looks like a green skin and uses the Deceiver to convince all that she is a green skin. Under her robes she has a Waaagh image that small drops of AV are constantly flowing onto meaning that she is in fact the center of the Waaagh energy. This is helped by her chopping off the heads of anyone who tries to argue that she isn't in charge.
I doubt I'll be around but if we're going to spoof gods I'd rather try spoofing Thugni and see if we can lend weight to that idea of Ranald stealing from the Glittering Vault via performing an act of Runesmithing.
Yeah, I was gonna say, the Only Gork/Mork thing was Mathilde being at the centre of a Waaagh, given how she got literally possessed by Mork in the process of accidentally doing a counter-ritual, and given how Waaagh energies are the energies of Gork and Mork.
Mork only left the opening for that theft because he carelessly left Mathilde's body after doing what he wanted to do, destroy the Only Gork priest and Idol.
Ranald joins his followers in premeditated heists all the time. Also considering that we will be actively be channeling Ranald by using the Deceiver I am not sure that any possession will actually happen. But if it does Ranald will be prepared and have the home field advantage instead of having to help suddenly.
And even when we had the upper hand that was still an encounter that could've been alarmingly lethal for both Mathilde and Ranald.
It's like you're trying to make us suspicious of him.
I don't think Ranald will be very cheerful about the idea of us reaching into Mork's mouth with the intent of stealing a fistful of Mork's teeth.
Really? That seems exactly like the sort of behavior he tries to encourage. Especially if it works.
We brought Johann, so we've already completed a single blind study!
At this point I feel like we're going to find out he does have a big secret that he's hiding, but it's not that important in the long run. Not Chaos or Necromancy or anything close to actual proscribed magic, but something that he really wants hidden. He purposefully acts a little suspicious around Mathilde to steer her in the wrong direction.
I don't think Ranald encourages his followers to walk straight into a bear trap, armed chiefly with...
...A load-bearing "if."
*goes off exactly
*really will be listening
We are definitely the loudest sneaky wizard of the generation! I am almost certain we are better known in the old world (and ulthuan even) then our own patriarch.I mean... she's not wrong.
To the extent that educated people (such as Egrimm) thought he was dead… until we gave the game away.
Ah, but "better known" is not "believed alive" and he did know algard, he just didn't know he was alive.
First, I don't think that principle extends to cases where the god is at risk of being harmed along with the mortal.
