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. :^)

We could. But if we do Snorri stuff on Khazagar, I'd rather do that on turn 51, where we can commit two at once for example and push Khazagar into the negatives when the end of turn 51 rolls around - increasing the end overflow.

But that doesn't mean we have to not use any Snorri actions on it this turn, does it? And can we really bank progress overflow on turn 51 like that?

It does not. But too be quite honest, I don't think there's much of a significant difference between Snorri actions, Karstah actions, and Retainer actions when they are being applied to the dragons.

From what I asked soul, I think we can bank overflow, in that we'll have time to devote actions to it in a plan on turn 52. I'll have to double check later today. I'm too tired right now to continue this coherently though, we can pick this back up later today.

I don't suppose we could like... not do a single fancy item for the coronation gift, but instead just... make enough rune-work to trick out Whitebeards entire throng? Seems like other Runesmiths/lords would do better at the single item thing than us. We... aren't actually all that good at making a single fancy piece, we've just used crazy materials in the past to get around that. Without crazy materials to use for the gift it won't be very impressive.

Snorii has specialties in odd/esoteric runes as well as talismanic runes, so it's not like we have nothing to work with, even if it isn't much.

Sure, we have something to work with. Just, our skills in such things are matched or exceeded by many others. As far as I'm aware though, there isn't really anyone who is a match for us in productivity who isn't an Ancestor God. Maybe the big 4: Alric, Angkra, Yorri, Gottri. But then again, they seem to focus on singular amazing things. We're all about that quantity is a quality all its own thing.
 
Switched around the actions in BungieONIs plan.
Kazagar gets an extra 1-3 progress, everything else gets the same progress/actions as the original plan.

Extra progress on Kazagar will either free up actions next turn or result in more overflow in the end.

[] Plan Turn 50 Structural Siphoning, Dragons, War Prep, Kazagar
-[] Snorri/Karstah
-[] Movement of Things 2 Snorri
-[] Drakk Rearing 1 Snorri, 1 Karstah
-[] Design Spite Talisman, "Zharr-a-Drakhazi" 1 Karstah
-[] Odd Wyrm's Blood 1 Research
-[] A Wonderful Endeavour 2 Snorri
--[] Petition the Hold 45 Drakk Favor
-[] Retainer/Orders
-[] Waywarding 1 Retainer
-[] Training Regime Pt1 1 Retainer
--[] Drakk Expertise 30 Drakk Favor
--[] Ornsmotek Expertise 60 Favor with Kraka Ornsmotek
--[] Ravnsvake Expertise 40 Favor with Cult of Valaya
-[] A Wonderful Endeavour 1 Retainer
-[] Order: T4 Magma Wyrm's Lung
-[] Order 2: T4 Elder Stonehorn's Eye
--[] Royal Expedite x2 30 Kraka Grom Favor
-[] Order 4: T4 Elder Stone Troll's Blood
--[] Royal Expedite x2 30 Kraka Grom Favor

Which actions we use on Drakk Rearing determines who the dragons spend most of their time around. Two Snorri actions means they'll be dealing with a lot of Snorri and only Snorri. A retainer action means they'll be spending time with our many retainers, which should help acclimate then to dealing with many dwarves instead of just one or two.

Even if there's no mechanical impact, which I doubt, the narrative drastically changes depending on whose actions are spent.
 
With what we learned about Purification, would heating the Gromril to near melting point before putting it in the smelter reduce the energy cost of the Transmutation?

A new smelter design might take that into account, increasing the efficiency even further.
As would making sure there is always plentiful Aqshy in the area (*cough* volcano *cough*)

Which is why were gonna make an Expurgation Talisman a probable Lonely Rune made from our very own MR. Which means it should be a never before seen Rune with a Powerful effect of basically creating a Delete Field for anything that has Magic. Not the best but definately but worthy of a High King.

User purges harmful magic from their body in the form of heat, either all at once or over a span of time. Casting the Rune lets the user periodically do the same to a target of their choosing while also intensifying the effect by drawing on ambient Aqshy. You've been using this Rune, not incorrectly, but inefficiently.

Would this stop or delay chaos dwarf sorcerer-priests from turning into stone?

They seem mostly dead as a faction, but might be worth keeping an eye on that since they like to try stealing rune lore.

The specific way we'd do it is probably unique. But just... destroying that which has Magic is a long and storied tradition of runesmiths for time out of mind. I find it unlikely that he would get a gift that does something similar from someone else, even if the exact means of doing so is different. What the High King isn't gonna be getting from anyone else, is just a shitload of runic equipment for his throng. I don't know if that's something we'd be aloud to choose to do, but it seems to fit for Snorri.

He already has that though. Karaz a Karak is full of Runesmiths and they've been making equipment for its throng for thousands of years by now. The gift is mostly symbolic anyhow, there's a bunch of Runic Equipment made by the Ancestors available to the High King as well as the products of many of the best in the Karaz Ankor, so we don't have to worry too much about its utility.

Karaz a Karak hasn't even been around for a thousand years now.

Is there a reason we are upgrading our talisman before we upgrade the 2nd weapon given that the weapon is lower grade of runic item?

Master Rune of Spite breaks the combat system in half due to it's ability to return 2 wounds for every one dealt to us, which with our toughness (8 wounds) and regeneration (1 wound per two turns) means that we are nigh impossible to kill.

- [Mid 404] Hear these words ye shamed and disgraced, ye outcast and ye lost. The Cult of Grimnir has spoken at length about The Valiant's final and greatest deed, and at last come to a conclusion of their own. Grimnir's sacrifice, His Doom, was an act of unparalleled honour, say the priests of the Ancestor, one to outdo all the deeds He committed in life. Any warrior who seeks to follow Grimnir's way, to find honourable and glorious death in the manner of the Doomed too will have the honour of their ending overwrite the shame of their life. Atonement! Atonement and redemption for our failures and misdeeds! Let all who walk the Slayer's path find an end to the shame they bring to kin and kindred.

This is a shame, tbh. So many Dawi seeking redemption through death, instead of work.

AAAAAAH IT'S THE BOI!

How fast can we talk to/kill him?
 
Just curiosity what are we doing with our old armour banner and weapons we are not using any more should we give them to our family or someone's else who can use it or is it going to be in our vaulted to never be used anymore?
 
BungieONI said:
The Master Rune of Spite (T4 Stonehorn Eye) + Rune of Spellturning (T4 Stone Troll's Blood) + Rune of Gazul's Flame (T4 Magma Wyrm's Blood)

As a thematic statement, I like this: "Protected by fires of the Underearth, if the bearer comes to harm by magic or weapon then the foe will find even more terrible wounds appearing on their body, wounds that burn with the flames of the underworld that abhor all evil things."

Oh yes, very nice! Yeah, that works. I really want to see what Gazul's Flame does - such a fascination rune!

The Cloak was a gift from the wife: Snorri will never part from that, and probably still wears it with his "sunday best" equivalent.
The Armor idk. It's probably in the same "sentimental possessions" category, right along with the ancestors trinkets.
