Since Ridcully has the blessing of Isha, die sthat make him something of a saint or perhaps a daemon of her?

no it would not make it a daemon of her after all when chaos gives "blessings" to it's champions they don't become daemon's.

No just a bonus not a Daemon since he isn't bonded to her in any real way. Unless it comes up that that actually is what happened.

I get the feeling luck falls into a similar category as heroism, too big a domain with far too many claimants to be acquirable.
To answer the original question, skill, luck and most importantly team work.
Nah, tis a blessing me thinks in the manner of the one the radiance gave.
Yah, but chaotic blessings tend to bind one to a god.
This I think is more similar to the Radiant Will.
The blind see and the imprisoned taste freedom.
Well that was an unmitigated success for both us and the Empire of Ashes. A full map of the path and defences. A gift from Isha herself. Ridcully got out alive and is quartered to get a major boost, even if he doesn't quite manage Transcendence. Nurgle took horrific damage. By the sound of it the Seer losses weren't catastrophic.
As to the favour… I'm for spending it, preferably in little bits rather than one big thing. Saving it means we can hopefully survive attracting the attention of a galactic power. Once. Spending it to speed our growth means becoming a galactic power sooner rather than later.

Ridcully continues to be ridiculous.
He's very likely to hit piety Paragon with this, and probably has a good chance of some kind of transcendence.

I'm for spending it too but to become any kind of Galactic power we would need to clear out all the surrounding chaos and ork forces and assimilate the remaining remnants of the uncorrupted humans forces. That's going to take a long time like maybe end of book 2 long. I do think we should at least clear out the local area of the stronger realms so we can expand and consolidate with the Dragon's Nest.

For spending just a bit of our favor houw about in regards to Turoq just asking if we can use the webway to move our own fleet into Turoqs domain to catch him by surprise? It would be an immense advantage and the Eldar don't have to spend their own forces lowering the price for them.

Can Ridcully once ascended mock the deceased , xenocidal, puppy kicking, incompetent backwards imperials on how much they not only fucked up and failed the imperium to the extent that the imperial trust did better than them but also made humanity a mockery of its former self by committing atrocities, humanity with inhumane acts when the imperium was at the most powerful. In a I told you so moment.

If infiltrating the inner sanctum of a major Chaos God doesn't merit Transcendence I don't know what would. I'm kind of expecting Transcendent Control and Paragon Piety, since paragon piety we could have gotten with merely scrying a daemon prince.
Fun fact, assuming all plague rolls go as they did, which, to be fair, was not very good, Ridcully had about a 0,00253 chance to succeed at all rolls, a bit more than a quarter of a percent or 1 in 2500. Including the way in, it's about 1 in 5000. Still ten times more likely than Green Ascension, though.

No they're dead.
Hard to mock the dead directly.
It may give him a shot at it, but that in and of itself is major.

Seriously, save the favor people.
Not only does having it serve as a big stick to ward off unwholesome interest from big asshole polities (who are probably going to be noticing us a fair bit more between the tech trade and the recent adventure), but it also serves as a get out of jail free card if somebody does act.
The only other thing people should even consider spending it on would be long term boosts that are immediately useful. Clearing the way for colonization is pointless, as we can already clear way more places than we can actually afford to colonize. Webway access is premature, as we currently aren't spread out far enough for it to matter outside of responding to Turoq's targeted raiding, and while we have a fight with him lined up in five years I doubt the system would be running at that point.
Seriously, Turoq is small fry. His raid planned right now is hoping to limit our growth rate so he has a prayer of staying relevant in the region. We currently don't know how many assets we can move to his targets, but I'd give decent odds we can completely defeat the strategic purpose of both of them. And we've got a transcendent Alpha on his ass, so he's on borrowed time. Once he croaks, the threat of his realm evaporates.

You need to factor in the True Fire Rune. We didn't use it, but we could have.

Mortal Ridcully can't, but God Ridcully could access the afterlife.

Question: Do we get to use the stuff on the scroll?
Given we got it out and all. Or is it useless to mortals?

One question, as I can't for the life of me find it:
Where is the threadmark (or post??) where we got to know the price of Eldar favor (like lending our troops) and things we could do with said favor (e.g. contacting human polities)?

Ah, but I said "succeed at all rolls" not "get out alive". True Fire Rune would come in only after Ridcully would fail one of the DCs.

He is done with the raiding. This attack isn't meant to steal it's meant to hurt us as much as possible and an attempt to cripple us. If he is killed then his realm will most likely fall apart and get taken over by the other chaos realm in the area. Ridcully wasn't discovered this whole thing is on the Eldar. We are still to small for any major players to take notice. Even with the conference most of the attention goes to the major players for the sane.
