I'd wanna be a Daemon Prince over a Greater Daemon. Just feels like you just a touch more independence. As much as that counts while in effective thralldom to a near omnipotent force (at least in the warp)
So... a silly question...
Does Fredric knows how to ... swim?
Was it ever brought up?cause I have no idea...

Not sure about swimming, but he's very good at being keelhauled. A true professional.

'for'?
Rhya and Raina tangles a lot in this one, no wonder if got confused at some point.
Certanly in the top performers, that is true. Wonder how close he got to the official record? is he gonna do it again at Erengrad and Bourdleoux?
There is another matter to bring up.
Flare guns! did we talked about those? certanly could be usefull asset.
Edit: I have a feeling we did talk abouth viability of Flare guns existing, but am fishing for some new arguments either way.

It came up in recent Nordland interlude as Odelia used a magical flare and I think some people commented on it. Tho I don't remember where the discussion went, sorry for that.
I don't know how complex that spell Odelia used is but maybe we can ask our bright wizards to try it? Even a smaller version can be quite good. Also if it is relatively simple, we may try to contact bright college for some journeymen. Not to throw fireballs at enemies but more of a support/communication role for them. If we pull it off it can be quite efficient alongside wing-suit scouts.

Wulfenburg is quite literally bisected by a major river, and industrial runoff aside, plenty of Wulfenburg people have gone up-river and swam around before. Frederick learned how to swim before he was sent off to Jegow. While only major rivers show on the maps, it's rather understandable that there would be smaller creeks/lakes/etc. to help water major settlements, though some obviously just use wells and the like. But yes, Frederick knows how to swim. But it doesn't really matter how good he could or could not swim while being keelhauled, because he was giving himself over to the act.
Diffrent colored flares would be first step. or multiple ones in sequence? Sounds simple, in battle enviroment? Needs work.
Still worth looking into.
Isn't that like really damn cold thou? Whole of the province just morsing? Good lord that is badass. Ulrikans esspecially, that is damn near scary.
Thanks for the brain worm, it will keep me company up at night.

Vote is closed.

If anyone hasn't voted yet and would like to, today is the last day to vote in the User's Choice Vote!
Done got got by a sickness again, bleh. Just...constant sneezing, constant congestion in the nose, watering eyes so bad I'm carrying around a dang towel rather than use up all the tissues, blagh. And yet, like, zero fever. Absolutely awful. Getting real tired of this kind of bullshit, but I'm still going to keep trying to grind out the writing. Then again, I've had like, constant sneezing episodes for what feels like a few months at this point, but nothing like these past few weeks congestion, or the horror show that was yesterday. Never been like this before. Doing a bit better today though, so hopefully I'm on the upswing.
Truly, turning older than 30 was a mistake. I am a fragile little husk of dust it feels like, some days.
Allergies can and do exist, sure. It's rather doubtful that allergies affect those sworn to Chaos save unless they're Nurglite and love the feeling of their throat tightening and eyes watering from inflammation and swelling, or are being actively targeted by Nurgle worshippers trying to harm another, though at that point they're more liable to just use, like, an actual eldritch plague.

Probably not for Nurgle, but you have to admit that the irony of having a hero of men who has fought chaos (including Nurgle) for decades to die in a banquet due to a treenut allergy is extremely Tzneechian.

I'll take any recovery at all at this point. Some days it's not so bad, others, it's just awful, but always, there is the sneezing and occasional cough. Past week was just especially rough. At this point I'm sort of starting to forget what it feels like to not be congested at all, it's really been that long. Ah well.
Anyhow, as aforementioned folks, it is the last day to vote. You don't have to, there's not pressure, and if you don't think this quest deserves your vote, that's fine too. I totally get it. Hope you all are doing okay yourselves in your own lives.
As it is, if you have some questions for me and the quest, I'm here to at least try and answer some of them, unless they're getting into too spoilery territory, then I will not be answering those >.> I'll be reading every post from here on out for at least a short while, so if I don't answer a question, it'll be deliberately so.

@torroar how are all the other holds taking the news?
1. I.e. that the empire came to help with, what, a quarter million men to aid the everpeak in it's hour of need?
2. Also is this a staggering level of mobbilisation. Iirc, during the great war against chaos, the whole empire mobilized, what, a 100 000 infantry plus 25000 cavalry to help kislev, here half the empire managed to raise double that. That is honestly the most impressive feat of how much the empire has recovered since the pre magnus times

2a) Yes.
2b) The logistical situation is probably helpful. Marching an army to Kislev meant supplying it, and Kislev was already a mess so they probably couldn't feed it themselves. And the roads wouldn't have been any too good either. By contrast, the trade routes between the Everpeak and the Empire are well-established and easy to traverse, so marching and sustaining the army is much easier. On top of which, the dwarves are themselves perfectly capable of maintaining and supplying equipment themselves up to a point, and are exactly the kind of people who'd keep enough food to feed an army of a quarter million for years in the Everpeak under runes of preservation despite, y'know, not having an army of a quarter million.

Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon bud.
Simon already got most of it, but the other Holds are a bit busy with their own problems. Night goblins, regular goblins, and skaven have been attacking the Deeps of many of the other Holds for a while now. They're appreciative, and thankful, but of course nothing could be the lava, can't be the lava, nothing ever beats the lava, the Gates of Karaz-a-Karak are impenetrable, nothing could break them, nothing and no one and nothing and even if you get past all the traps and otherwise oooh they've got lava.
And there's been no messages or messengers sent between the holds since the siege started, but it's not like that's an unusual thing. Dwarfs are used to years passing between knowledge exchanges with one another, especially if a hold is long under siege and something might have happened to their gyrocopter corps.
So the lava probably handled it. Because nothing could be the lava or the powerful rune in the Gates of Karaz-a-Karak.

Or, worst plausible case, the Everpeak is still under siege and they're just waiting for the right moment to unleash the lava! But when that happens, boy oh boy, that'll settle the urks' hash!
So something thats been bouncing around im head for a while now and will probably not happen till long later on. Two things actully:
1. Freddy retirment. Let me elaborate. His gizmos - Light of summer is bound to his bloodline, runefang is badge of office, and he likely would want arm fist to keep Magnus safe. so all that would he keep is his Winter armor cause only he can wear it.
With the contex provided, I think he would lead an expedition into Karaz Drakk, to better relations and beat some norscans. likely many volonters would join him and inevtably settle around Drakk safe zones. but the short is that Freddy would not want to go down in bed and seek out things to fight once he percives it is time for his son to outdo him. Just the most obvious course of action I forsee. sure its likely years in future, but if my guts are right about general direction of the ark , I can belive him wanting to help out till last breath. and this way we do not have to go weepy over death of the character in order to Magnus take the rains. not have to worry about our heir dieng of od age (that would be ackward).
opinions?
2. How 'open' would dwarfs would be to an idea of Sigmar oriented crusade levied against all unwanted gribbers of say Black mountains?
just swing by, beat everything dwarfs have umbrage with and mayby negotiate some outposts to make trade routs more safe on their end... just to saturate the area with some welcomed human presence so there is more dwarfs doing not fighting stuff...
Or straight up browbeat High king into accepting help in reclaiming Karag Varn (the one by Black water), with understanding that there will be more humans than dwarfs on that one.
(Assuming all survive current problems)
Essentially asking how likely is Karaz Ankor to be more open about humans fighting on their turf in reclamation effort...

Concerning Frederick and retirement: you might not know, but this discussion has been held several times before, and people were asked to stop discussing it, IIRC. The end result of it was: Frederick is never going to retire. He'll be EC until he dies.

To be fair, usually the talk was about peaceful retirement. This is the first example of a violent retirement I've heard, it's marginally more plausible. "I think Magnus deserves to get to use the life saving gear now, I'll go and punch some Chaos worshippers to help out the northern Dawi" seems more like a Frederick thing than "I shall retire to a smithy" like some people seemed to have in mind.
Still not going to happen mind you, but it was a somewhat fresh angle.
