Ouch, hoped he die a quick death. I got hit by hot steam before and it wasn't nice.

He screamed for hours.

Trapped inside the Steam Tank, unable to leave.

He'd locked the doors to the Tank Bay so no one would disturb him, and began at midnight after everyone else had gone home.

Burnt up, burnt all over, the initial blast destroyed his arms. But it continue to function, blasting steam every now and then out of the opening he'd made so that he could examine some of the most inner portions of the mechanisms.

He died eventually after the agony was enough to make him put his head in the way of the next internal blast of steam.

Then the morning came, they forced the doors opened, cleaned his wet remains out, and fixed what he'd done to it. And no one talks about the Prodigy of Nuln's engineering corps anymore.

Considering the strict requirements for getting into the gunnery school and such, with anyone that isn't nobility needing luck and/or a patron to get in? I think you might have.

...... Well it's a good thing its morning, all the time in the world to repress/and/or forget this before I need sleep.

That seems excessive, but what I want to know is why he thought poking around a steam tank in the middle of the night with no help was a good idea.

NONO wait I know. GRIM DREP... GRIM DERP
 
No particular demand for schools anytime soon though. We got a massive province being slowly repopulated, hmm...

Actually some kind of mass childcare might be in demand if they're popping out enough babies.

Because no one is allowed to try and mess with them anymore, precisely because no one knows how they work. It's not allowed, but he was really certain he could figure it out if he could just get a real close look at the parts that they aren't allowed to mess with by long standing order of the Master Engineers.

Curiosity has killed numerous cats, when it comes to the Steam Tanks.

And no satisfaction to ever bring them back.

When I say gave the designs I meant the alcohol engine in general not the airship.

She would have to go to Tilea herself to search for notes on it along with the Steam Tank stuff.

Well there were Ogres around so I figured it was more a matter of most being simply not gaining good education.

He was also from the Nuln school and those guys are so uptight they can't stand the idea of anyone but one of them learning the secret.

This was a case of someones' stupid pride going ahead of safety.

Exactly that is we want Temples of Verena around to teach people and all those children.

Wait do the Dwarfs have steam tanks, they have submarines and steam ships in canon?

Isn't it just "throw warpstone at it"?

For some reason pouring ostka into everything doesn't have the same effect

Skavens are masters of copying and innovation, sure they put warpstones on everything but when it comes to tech. They are utterly shameless in copying their betters(The dwarves.) before improving on it.

So I think we could innovate or copy what they do.

:o

And this is why, engineers should always have one or two assistance, even if they are inept, to be around.

Edit: Well, the actual reason is even worst. Good thing we aren't in Nuln.

I guess we either have to make a bigger engine based on the doomspheres, go to Tilea or use Sven notes on making an alcohol engine.

Teacher onto teacher, each focused on keeping the secrets of their craft.

Not something that goes away anytime soon. Even here in Ostland.

Given the way we're repopulating to fill industries and settle outwards, once they hit 8-9 years old they'd be busy helping out and learning the trade from their parents rather than waste years getting book educated which they don't need to do their jobs.

But we could probably take toddlers into childcare(sounds like its up Shallya/Esmeralda's alley mainly), keep them out of their parents hair for a few years, and also educate/indoctrinate them.

GM-No-Jutsu: Torroar's Ancient Style - Eight Ball Of Noncommittal Answer

A powerful technique, but not nearly as powerful as

GM-No-Jutsu: Torroar's Ancient Style - Gargantuan Ban Hammer

Both are relics of elder times, when this site was young, and if I recall correctly even stretching back to the yesteryear of my running stuff (quests and stories) on SB.

...basically taking the form of the biggest image on the internet I can find of the images described above.

It's inventor came from Tilea and the original Engineer school there.

Still any form of education at a young age but a Order of Priests and Priestesses that actively encourage the spread of knowledge, science, and justice is a great thing to teach young kids and being open to the public so people can come to learn if they want.

Basically really want temples of Verena in our province and will admit she is one of my favorite WH gods even if she is not talked about much.
 
Dutch's Information Corner: Some Things About Divine Magic vs. Non-Divine Magic

    I do not believe there is some abstract form of "humanity" outside of people desperately rationalizing their existence in the Hellhole Malus is. There is only the human norm and various deviations from it.

    In short I do not think there is a qualitative difference between the mutations of the spirit suffered by a Magister of the Orders and a warrior priest of Sigmar.

    The origin of Divine Lore lies with whatever race the god belongs to. Say in case of a human god.

    Human -> Faith -> God -> Divine Lore -> Mutation of the Spirit

    Mutations of the spirit take shape related to the relevant god, because the relevant god is a construct by humans, the mutations are closer to the default human that isn't touched by either Lores than someone who would have his spirit mutated by a Wind of Magic.

    Say, for a hypothetical case, a human worships a halfling god and get's his spirit mutated.

    Halfling -> Faith -> God -> Divine Lore -> Mutation of the Spirit

    Assuming that said god is primarily worshipped by halflings and perceived as a halfling. A mutation on the spirit would move the human away from "human" and more to the perceived nature of said god. Which would be halfling in this case. While he/she wouldn't turn into a halfling or something like that, he/she would take on either physical or mental traits normally associated with the Halfling god and therefore halflings.

    With the Winds of Magic it's different. It's origins lie in the Aether itself.

    ________________________-> Hysh -> Lore of Light -> Mutation of the Spirit
    Aether -> Vortex -> Winds -> Shyish - Lore of Death -> Mutation of the Spirit
    ________________________-> Azyr - Lore of the Heavens -> Mutation of the Spirit
    ________________________ect

    In this case the origin of the mutation would be the individual wind. As with the previous examples the mutation is influenced by it's origins, however since the winds are more comparable to forces of nature than to a relatable concept. The mutation isn't "blunted" like with Divine magic since the origin lies so far away from human understanding.

    Instead of adding "Idealized Human" to "default Human" and mutating the soul relatively little. The Wind of Magic add a concept that is too different from "Human" to the soul. Therefor people who have their soul mutated by said wind, are changed relatively more and lose more on the "Humanity" scale.

    • In all honesty, the Ostland Engineering College is probably going to 'evolve' two different branches when it comes to R&D as time goes on.

    First is the Drunken Science section which is currently in existance. People coming up these off-the-wall ideas and actually designing something semi-usable out of it.

    Second will be a Proofing section for lack of a better term that will develop as the College expands/matures. After Drunken Science kicks out a design and it proves useful they start working on it to iron out bugs and streamline it.

    I can see that being a thing with the older engineers that live that long.
