1) can we lend the Eldar the Black Crystal items for this mission?
2) would they help with the mission?
3) can we expect to get them back afterwards?

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes, while they are valuable they are not worth both ruining their reputation and poking Avernus. One fo the big nchanges about the Eldar in Embers is that they ahve looked at the galaxy and decided that the Eldar alone have no chance of victory while the Eldar with every ally they can get have nearly no chance of victory which is far better
 
@Durin

1. Could we ask Vulkan for an artifact to help with The Throne of Nurgle?
2. If so, how do we do that? Do we wait for the conference, do the Contact Eldrad Ulthran action, or something else?
 
@Durin - Stumpf should have -1 Learning (unless you meant for Soldier to the Bone to increase her Learning by 1, in which case it should give +7 Learning).

If they could help, Areatha would point them to us, and given that she didn't they can't. If they know of any lifeforms that can help us, Areatha with her +100 to Avernus lore rolls would know about them.

It's a bit outside her fields of expertise though, since I don't think she's ever thought about going into a Chaos God's inner sanctum. The natives (Planet Mind) might know something.
 
@Durin
1.What would be Ridcully's chances of going through it alive, if he gained the Piety Paragon trait?
2.What sort of danger would Ridcully risk, in worst case scenarios? Merely death, or also corruption?
3.Is there any way Lin can help with this?
3.5. If yes- would it be risky to him as well? How much, compared to Ridcully?

A bit over a year ago Syr was almost killed by a lucky assassin, almost certainly a sleeper agent placed by Turoq. While she recovered from her wounds in a month or so hearing about it was still a rather scary experience, one that her particular branch of the military gives you less practice at then most Avernite parents. While you had a few paranoid forces of dispatching some of Xaviers best psykers and another company of the Governor's Own to guard her sense soon prevailed.

Greater Divination: The Throne of the Plague God- The Eldar have recently contacted High Grandmaster Ridcully about a ultra-high risk divination where he would be working with some of their greatest seers to peek into the throne of the Plague God. If he agrees to assist them in this matter it will count as all of the divinations that he owes them, if any of the seers are successful the Empire of Ashes will owe him a small or major favor depending on what they see and if he is successful the Empire of Ashes will owe a major or honorbound favor. Even working with the Black Crystal Jewelry and the greatest Eldar Seers alive and dead this is an incredibly risky proposal and has a good chance of being the end of Ridcully, or another step towards his apotheosis.

Time: 2 years.
Chance of Success: Interlude, low

Cost: 4,000,000 Thrones
Reward: Pay off debt to Eldar, favor from Empire of Ashes, information on the Plague God, ???

Yeah we're doing this.

Its risky, but we're probably doing this.

However! Since we can put it off a turn I recommend we research Nurgle first.

One of the first things asked of him. Answer was non.

To be fair it was less taking the risk and more people like me thinking that the risk vastly outweighed the reward. Here this is actually one of the rewards that I believe is worth the risk.

On the other hand, divining Turoq is a fairly low-risk chance of getting Paragon Piety, which would then make divining Nurgle less risky.

It occurs to me that the eldar don't have alkahestry, and that new alkahestry stuff can be invented, especially now with the nynye's increasing tech level.

We might want to ask the nynye if they can whip up a potion that could give Ridcully and the eldar an extra edge.

I'd be surprised if they don't have their own alchemical tradition.

Still I gots an idea.
 
If we are going to do the Nurgle Throne, we need to get all the help we can get, we should ask, Arethea, the Nynye and the Sirens for help (or if they can point us toward something that can help), have Lin research Nurgle first, research all the Connection Runes to get a better runic array... and make sure that we can use the free slot of the Telepathica to so we can get an extra +20.

Because if we roll good enough and the Eldrad manage to rescue Isha (the only pure good deity in the Setting), we MAYBE we can have Lin accepting her help to fix his soul...

PD: aside from that, omakes, lots and lots of omakes.

I wouldn't. A lot of knowledge was lost with the Fall of the Eldar Empire. We have no indication from any sources both in canon and in Embers that they have any kind of alchemical tradition whatsoever.

They don't have an entire path dedicated to gardening exclusively for psychological purposes.

Whether or not they could use it due to Slaanesh is another question entirely.
 
Ridcully can't do the action this turn since he's busy with research, so if we're inclined to do it we should do as many actions as we can this turn to prepare for it.

@Durin
1. Would Lin doing an action to study Nurgle help with Ridcully's action? EDIT - already answered, nevermind. Missed it somehow.
2. Would the psyrodactyl power potentially lower the risk by giving Ridcully an ability to help warn if he's gotten some negative attention?
