True, we should be careful, especially with our human recruits. Fortunately, Kislevites don't really have an history of fighting necromancers, so a slip up would be less problematic than in the Empire.

They do have a substantial history with the undead, though.

Eyeless Ones

"The dead are as close to us as ice to snow." —Oblast Saying.[1a] Eyeless Ones are a form of Undead, native to the frozen lands of Kislev.[1a] There is a tradition out in the oblast to take the dead away into the snow and leave them there, for the ground is far too frozen to be broken by shovels...

The Belphegor's Bray-herd

Belphegor was "typical Bray-Shaman", until he suffered a miscast during "magic duel" between him and Eonir Spellsinger during battle between Elves of Laurelorn and Beastmen Tribe that he was part of, and was consumed by the Warp alongside nearby Doombull. When he "reappeared" in the same place mere moment later, he was "changed Beastman": he had two heads (his own and Doombull's), two left arms and his body neck-downwards looked like misshapen fusion of Bray-Shaman and Doombull

Despite Belphegor's "transformation" suprising Wood Elves, they managed to repel attack of Beastmen, but Belphegor survived, retreating after managing to defeat and tear head off of Spellsinger indirectly responsible for his "new state".

He gathered remnants of his tribe that survived battle with Eonir, and travels Beast-Paths gathering survivors from seemingly destroyed Beastmen Tribes, driven by single vision: "desecrated Laurelorn and Beastmen feasting on Eonir's flesh"

Members:

- Equipment: Pair of Axes (wielded in left hands), Bray-Shaman's staff (wielded in right arm), primitive armor, head of Eonir Spellsinger (Trophy)

Out of curiosity, are you aware that there is actually a canon example of a Doombull fused with a Bray Shaman?

Kha'Rak Stoneheart

Doombull Kha'Rak Stoneheart is a Minotaur that is inhabited by two warring souls, one of the Doombull himself and one of the Bray-Shaman that tried to possess him.[1a] Ambitious shamans may attempt to control a Doombull instead of offering counsel, going so far as to possess the body of the...

With eye of the pack we could literally just have pre written orders and then pull them in front of our eyes as needed in order to get a message across to our swordmasters.

That is actualy a really smart plan, we should totaly experiment to try something like that.

Naggaroth covers the entirety of the "North America", Canada would be the parts north of the Sea of Malice, while the US would be south from there to the Straits of Fear.

I've read about Kha'Rak when I was doing "research" about Beastmen, but Belphegor was (to be honest) more inspired by Vilitch the Curseling (caster and beatstick being "fused" together) than him, while name was "somewhat" inspired by Malagor

By the way thanks to this two:



Now we can be absolutely devastating in ambushes or night raids.

Imagine unleashing a swarm of Ulgu and Shyish Elementals on a sleeping enemy encampment. Silent invisible killers stalking in the dark and killing soldiers left and right. Then the commanders start calling Priests to "banish the Daemons" or "exorcise the foul undead", but when the Priests try something, it dosen't work, and now even more people start panicking thinking the gods abbandoned them.

I mean, due to this being Warhammer, most priestly ways of banishing undead or daemons is through the application of violence. Our elementals can be cast down by such methods just fine.

This, and Fanriel is a pretty decent healer (Healing Light and Regenerate). In an age where the Jade Order and the Light Order don't exist yet, magical healing is reserved to the rare priest (although the Bulls might have one tbh) and illegal practitioners of magic. I'd honestly enjoy picking up an occasional downtime action on that front if we're ever needed or wanted.

Though I'd prefer that we not overdo the freebies on that front. Remember, the Knights of Dazh offered to pay us for us to train their templars. I'm not necessarily averse to giving out an action or two on the house to both show what we can do and earn some goodwill, but if the knights of the bull will want us to start to be their order's chief healer or to get regular training from our swordmasters then they don't have to necessarily pay us back in coin, but payment in another favor wouldn't be amiss. As is the only group I feel we owe some free work for right now are the cult of Isha for how they came through for us, even if they didn't ask for it. I'd probably want to deliberately gouge the Vaulites if they came to us asking for help at some point though :tongue:

Though speaking of the cult of Isha we'll apparently have an action option next downtime to learn healing arts from them, which is just based as hell. I wouldn't expect to get something as big as a char gen trait like Student of the Earth from it but a chance to get to learn about something as useful as healing, whether mundane or magical, from a master even by elven standards is not something to look by.

I just hope we manage to roll well enough on learning Inspiration this downtime so we'll start having it soon for our various learning rolls.

Though I admit, the part I am looking forward to the most this downtime is what happened with Dorial's song! Here's hoping it's just around the corner :tongue:
