1. no, the only chaos world close enoguh to their path is Valinor, the deamonworld
2. high end mechanicus, maybe one above that
3. very low
4. you would also have to kill all of their worshipers

No Garkill's dead...like long dead.
This is a new Warboss.
An idiot.
Of course.

Right so...rain check on sending them to Valinor?
They probably can't win...but it may kill a lot of them.
On the other hand they can probably regain those casualties pretty quick and the survivors will get a lot of veterancy.
Also given how they've killed one of our advisers and nearly killed Tamia all in favour of investigating the utter bastard dragons!

Could we mess with the gods by promoting weird, incongruous beliefs among their worshippers ?
Like say, if a good number of Khorne worshippers start thinking he is a kind fluffy cat, would that hurt Khorne ?

If it reduces the number of Hulks in the Waaargh sending them to Valinor is still useful, pretty hard to use warpstuff for scrap to replace losses.

Probably not.
They seem to be primal gods that have taken on religious aspects to increase their power, but the primal aspect seems to be dominant.
Changing their primary form of nutrition (emotions) to something nicer while emphasising more positive aspects of their portfolios (Khorn for example technically has honour and justice) would probably change them to being more benevolent, but we'd still need to kill all their current followers.
Yep. He's apparently an idiot.
Unless they land them on Valinor (not out of the realm of possibility) or they try to blow Valinor up so it retaliates I don't see how they'd loose hulks...

1. Does Valinor itself have defences? Or are they all gone.

Oh hello great and wondrous people of Embers, I have slogged since... October 2017 through the ENTIRETY of this great and marvelous quest. It has been a wonderful read, and is the sole reason I have bothered with a membership to this forum.
I must say, I have enjoyed this quest so much, and hope it continues for a longs time. Sadly, I joined AFTER the last vote, so I can't jump upon any bandwagons. Now, I return to LURKING.

Never mind.
By any chance is this world known as Helcaraxë?
It was a land of moving and crashing ice in the Silmarillion?

Eeehhh, warp realspace overlap, funky shit is standard there, I'm sure an ork which is particularly stupid even for orks will find a hilarious number of hazards in system to run into, like trying to stop the Slanneshi daemonworld forming rude images about the warlord on its surface.
@Durin
1. So a frozen water world with strong currents keeping the glaciers always moving?
2. Has Nilfheim interest in it?
3. Binging our polar monsters there can only be seen as a bad idea. They would starve without the enslavers breaking into the materium.

Actually I'm pretty sure the funky shit there is confined to the world itself with not much going on in the system itself.
However, there is a reason that the ork being stupid is a mixed blessing.
On the one hand it'll do stupid shit like possibly try to land on a Daemon world.
On the other hand its also much less predictable. Stupidity doesn't always mean it isn't effective. Ramming Dis with battlebarges and ships isn't especially smart under any circumstance, but its still effective.
Hopefully if we do bait him to Valinor we can also bait him to crash his fleet on it and we'll never hear of him again. Also hopefully keep the Daemons occupied for a decade or two.

- not telling
Just to make sure, is this a dozen individuals or a dozen roving bands? Because while we've killed the Lord Of Change stilling the psykers if it's a individual hero grade fighter I can see a few capturing a number of major Battle Psykers to sacrifice to get a warp gate off planet or even trading a major favor to be dumped in someones warband to get out of here. On the other hand if it's a dozen bands of Hero's each with say 100 minor hero's on the level of the War's Chaos Lords lead by mid grade hero Sargent's that are like the Emperor's Talons Captains and under a Paragon leader, that's a force to fear. If I was the leader of a local Chaos policy that kind of combat strength would be worth sacrificing a small fleet just to pull off world and get into my dept.

Completely worth it
Just started to read the update but I hope we keep meeting with the super psychic local until we cancel out that shit roll and are on friendly terms with her. Considering how important she's likely to be not doing what we can to to create as many personal bonds of friendship and camaraderie with her would be incredibly stupid.
This isn't really a Durin question because I'm sure its answered somewhere, but I'm wondering if there's more up to date information on population than the datasheet information threadmark? Because that says last updated Turn 82 and so is wildly out of date.
So I'm confused about how trade with the Nynye works, are all these potion trades considered ongoing trades for an ongoing supply and so the 150 points we allocate represent things we're continuously trading them for potions they're continually supply us?
I expect Lulana will just straight up give Jacob the Royal Alkahestry given their relationship.
Getting them to hit Valinor might be nice, as they could be tied up fighting daemons on the ground basically forever.
@Durin
1. The psyker trial attempt numbers leave 285 unaccounted for. It also is identical to the previous turn's line, so I think it wasn't properly computed?
2. Would the cure for Jacob's condition buy time for Saint Lin? That was unclear to me since it sort of sounded like Saint Lin's was just too severe for that method to cure, and so might be mitigated by it.
3. Are Jane or Aria going to get traits for killing The Dark Whisper?
4. Can orks actually conquer a daemon world?

Honestly figured that Jacob was going to reach Transcendant and become ageless long before aging a mere 20% faster mattered. This does make me wonder if the cure she recommended for Jacob could buy more time for Saint Lin though.
I expect Lulana will just straight up give Jacob the Royal Alkahestry given their relationship.
I find it kind of amusing that it took 3 tries to beat a 70% success rate. Also surprising that it wasn't just her refusing to do it the first two times.
I find myself wondering, did the Governor's Own get lumped in with Life Guard? Because they aren't listed as their own modifier for sales and we actually use them in combat a lot.
The low quality losses are quite low, but the high quality losses are pretty high compared to normal. I'm really not looking forward to the chaotic alphas that aren't being taken away by the daemon anymore, was surprising there wasn't one this turn since there wasn't one last turn and we've been averaging one a decade.
Geeze that bare success. Though I don't understand how she only had a +18 from her combat? I wonder if killing another daemon of this power gives her a trait, or if the bare success makes her not get one?
I don't think it will ever be worth our while to make subpar lasers that would be tyranid treats.
40 sectors is huge in this era when our own estimates are that lack of astropaths makes it difficult to govern more than a single sector, even accounting for the federal nature of this polity. I do wonder what sort of tech we could get from trade with them as they actually seem to be rapidly advancing their tech. Wish we could get them to replace our mechanicus entirely.
Well that's a bit terrifying of a fleet considering it's around double the strength of the last fleet. Though our heavy fleet didn't take very severe losses last time so it's manageable, but the high number of ships means wearing them down via harassment won't be all that feasible.
Getting them to hit Valinor might be nice, as they could be tied up fighting daemons on the ground basically forever.
Hmm I wonder if she'll get a trait since she rolled a 95 on such a big thing.

Sure, but apparently she gets along well with people like Ridcully, Lin ect.
Rotbart and her just rub each other the wrong way personality wise, which while depressing happens. They have professional respect for one another which is probably for the best (we probably can't be seen as getting too close to her.)
We can likely get her and Syr to get along better as well, as she's significantly less xenophobic than her old man.
Pretty sure the Own are lumped in with the Life Guard as the Life Guard are an expansion of what the Own are.
In fairness what she's doing is hard as hell under normal circumstances. What she's trying to do normally kills even master sorcerers. And not in a nice way.
Though why would...never mind never mind.
You say that, but given the current lack of nids in the galaxy and the utility of having a near undetectable weapon the Inquisition can almost certainly get a ton of use out of it.
There's a reason they prised digital weapons so much, they're damn near undetectable.
ATM they're only 1 level above the admech max (14) at maximum so around level 15.
Given how hard its apparently to advance up tech levels this is actually quite impressive.
We can likely get some of the things our admech is missing due to only being an outpost not a full forge world ect. And yeah it'd be great...sigh.
I kinda hope Varnak just dies when he finishes the Well as like his last great work.
Depends...between Ridcully, Sarnow the stealth fleets from Muspelheim and Nifleheim and a nice big area to run around in (Valinor) I think we could probably inflict quite a lot of damage. Especially when one factors in the idiocy of the warboss.
Still Valinor...pros and cons...pros and cons...
