Warhammer Fantasy: A Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism

Reader mode
I loved this update, really enjoyed Anna's exchange of knowledge for meat. Loved hearing about the happenings of the world, scratches the itches of missing Ostland, even though I'm really enjoying Hultressa and her daughter, and everything going on at sea, this was the perfect update.
 
New Slayers! A sad thing, but still the Karaz Ankor will have slayers. On the other hand we got news on Urgdug which is great. He has been in the shadows for a long time. Great to hear something about how he is doing.

I didn't understand what the QM meant about Anna being cold blooded assisting diplomacy with the Lizardmen, but now I do. Enough similarities between no emotion, and meat-robot to get the conversation done with.

Ah no, I believe the answer is no. Torroar the question asked is Does Freddy have a extended lifespan from magic stuff he's got? Such as reaching 200-300 years old?

Freddy has a human lifespan and might reach 100, but not likely to go past that, his lifestyle is risky.

Edit: Was the Slayer Ship salvaged by the Barak Varr fleet?

Also literally cold-blooded, like Mark of Widow made her blood and body temp much lower along with emotions, so likely feels familiar to Lizardmen compared to most warm-bloods.

Man, what a unfortunate turn of events. Orcs attack Everpeak, Druchii attack Nordland/Outland, the Ix nearly consume the Middle Mountains, the Norscans are attacking the Norse Dwarves, Kislev is in civil war, the Beastmen are now making their move-

At least there can't/won't be any more surprises right? :cry:

The potentially good thing is that, should the forces of Order survive this whirlwind, the forces of chaos/evil/etc. will be seriously on the back foot. Opportunity abounds in such a time, so who knows what could come up to help the forces of order on Malus.
 
Yeah if this crisis was organized it would be bad, but since It was basically just at lot of ruinous factions acting at the same time if we survive this ordertide will be a thing on track.
 
so just gotten back here

are we done with the arc yet, have we escape the ark ?

Short Answer: No

The 'arc' is called "Spikes, Horns, and Stone". The Black Ark is one part of this 'arc'. No, we are not done with the Black Ark, and even if Freddy gets off the Black Ark he will not have a magical one sentence journey to Ostland, it will take posts, many posts, to get back to Ostland.

The repeated poking at the Black Ark section and when Freddy is out is a thing in the thread. QM has a lot going on, updates take time.

Qm is doing a interlude thing right now, showing parts of the dynasty during the "Spikes, Horns, and Stone" arc, you'll need to backtrack to part 18 to see the current new posts after part 18 of Spikes Horns and Stone, or not.

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize you left near part 9 of Spikes Horns and Stone. The thread is getting closer to a opportunity at leaving the Black Ark. I don't want to spoil things for you, stuff happened.

There's been a ton of phenomenal writing in it and the rest of us are really enjoying it so try not to be rude. One lazy complaint can be a lot louder than 10 sincere compliments or words of gratitude
 
I love how Anna has someone that can talk to her on the same wavelength. As for Freddie, I expect him to become a dwarf friend to the Nosca Dwarves, get some new runed goodies, along with his wife and get a ride back home to surprise his kids with new trade and even more drawfs happily failing to get out of debt with him
 
My personal hope regarding Norsca is that our intervention would ensure Silverbeard's survival, while killing Valmir. Either by saving the King after his duel or by having Freddy or Roland (perhaps even UpGrailed Roland) fight and kill Valmir.

Given how wildly bad my IRL has gotten lately in regards to the parent I am taking care of?

The Ark is one thing. Quite possibly quite soon.

The Arc is another. I cannot give an estimate, but we are not done with it yet. Not likely to be finished stupendously soon.

That's just the truth. I'm starting to get a bit frustrated with only being able to say sorry, but hey, if you've got a cure for multiple incurable illnesses, hit me up, I'm sure I'd be able to be a lot more productive if approximately 5 separate miracles happen.

If not, I can only ask for you to continue being patient.

Very much of my time is spent helping someone physically disabled get to hospital appointments every week, dress themselves, cook, clean, and help maintain things without the parent generally able to even see, going to non-oncological chemo on occasion, help with twice daily at-home medical procedures, helping get and organize medicine, caring for an increasingly elderly pet on the side, amidst more. And that's not even getting into emergency room visits, prepping for a future surgery that the parent is likely to require in the future which has a many many months recovery period during which they will be even further physically disabled and in danger, and a proposed different surgery on the spine.

I can only do so much with the time and energy I have.

No, the Arc is not over yet. It is, to be quite honest, not likely to properly finish for at least a couple months. Longer if something absolutely horrific happens on my end, at which point I'll likely need to take even more time to process grief and pain.

According to the wikia page on it at least, 'Skink Priests in a Sacred Host of Tepok are only allowed to take spells from the Lore of Light.'

Does that mean skink priests are only allowed to learn one lore of magic for each god they worship?

Generally, skinks don't do more than one Wind at a time, as far as I know. They're not necessarily limited like a human is in mentality, but they also aren't generally tempted to try and go for more than one Wind at a time either. Plus, by half-transmitting it as divinely aided, they have an additional reduction on miscast and feedback penalties like purely arcane casters might suffer. Slann are something else altogether, of course.

At this point your update speed is going at a good clip you've got nothing to apologize over. Not that you had reason to in the first place, everyone knows that IRL has to be a writers first priority if only because writing from a cardboard box under a bridge is hard. Besides even that this is only a fraction of under mountain which for it's length was still very good, and now you've got three storylines going simultaneously. Honestly anyone complaining at this point needs a big glass of shut the fuck up.

I don't think anyone was complaining at the moment, just asking plainly after leaving for a while. Which, you know, is fair.

As a reader and quest participant in other stuff, I myself have groaned when I saw that there had not yet been an update, and those had shorter gaps between updates than I do. So I fully empathize with people on the matter.

At this point, I feel like most people even bothering with the quest know what the deal is.

It's no worries, atm.
 
If the 'engines' run on dhar the only thing to do is rip them out and dispose of them. Salkaten has a new district complete with dockyards and fish farms.
 
I think the lizardmen's problem isn't so much a lack of capacity for independent thinking, as it is that they're frantically trying to maintain a very important system that is arguably well beyond the outermost fingertip limit of their capacity to maintain. From their perspective, the last 8000 years have been one frantic effort after another to repair and take off in a crashed airplane, while the inbred descendants of the crashed plane's passengers sporadically lecture them on how they should just be making the best of it on the desert island everyone is stranded on.
 
Aw, there were Lizardmen.

Now I'm a bit sad since Reinhardt isn't here.

The lizardman for sure would recognize the Tooth of Tlang.

And we got Norsca Dawi too! So that means we're finally up to speed on what's happening there! (At least for Magnus/Arthur.)

Now we just need to make it back, and maybe planned an expedition there.

Also, how are we gonna send the Lizardmen back? They're gonna make their own ship in the process?

Damn, being captured by arguably the most skilled and dangerous dark elf admiral is no joke.

We should be thankful he did not lead attack on us or else I'm sure we would have been much worse off.

Pretty sure, he's dead. Everqueen got a bunch of dragons and pincered his ark while he wanted to raid a distant elven colony, somewhere.
One of handmaiden's stories.
