It's not like we want the Athari to win. Alyssa still thinks that Hultressa wants the ark so if we could fake joining up with the Athari without actually slowing ourselves down it could theoretically cause a mistake but I don't see how we'd do it and I doubt the value - we still have to storm the tor.

On the other hand do we want to leave an open warp portal buried in the ruins of a wrecked black arc slammed into the coast of Norsca?

Because that sounds like an ongoing source of problems for, well, everyone. Whatever Chaos worshiping Norscan tribe takes the ark after everyone else is dead will get a massive boon in power and is perfectly placed to use that power to be everyone else's problem.

I don't care that any Druchii wins anything. I am more concerned with ensuring Chaos loses, even if that means they lose to Druchii.

The last thing we need is for chaos sorcerers to somehow get the damned ark running again and turn it into a chaos ark.

Don't mind me I'm just going to quote this segment so I can read it later because even if it is non-canon it is still @torroar's writing and as such something I want to read when I have the time for it:

"Damn it…damn it!" You snarl, before drawing down a blast of ice atop the Druchii standing over the dead slaves before they can finish laughing at their monstrous deeds.

It doesn't matter who they were or what side they belonged to. They're not on your side, and they've done more than enough on this day. The remains of too many slaves that might have finally been willing to join you are dead, slain just as the spark of life reignited in their souls. Some of the slaves in the tunnels had run away, despite all that the warband has accomplished. Others just didn't show up at all despite the best efforts of yourself, of Roland, of Sadrina, of everyone who has been on the Ark for years trying to inspire their fellows. Handfuls would slink out of the darkness, and each one heartened you, but too many times did they choose to run, choose to deny that what you offered was actually possible. A number even went through with trying to attack you, or worse, went and tried to warn other Druchii of what was going on only to receive rewards befitting them. Which, in turn, led to said Druchii to almost instinctively move to punitively eradicate any rebellious slaves regardless of whatever else they were doing beforehand.

"We've been at this long enough," Johanna sighs, wiping at her forehead.

Not to wipe away sweat, for she does not do so anymore, but to wipe the blood from it.

"Hours, now," Kerillian grunts, shaking her head at the bodies of the dead.

"There might be more," Sadrina is quick to say, but there is not much of her heart in it.

"In the end, for some, fear is simply too strong. Would that we had more time, could speak to them one on one, individually…," Roland begins before a heavy sigh escapes him. "Yet I know we cannot."

"We tried, sir knight," you sigh yourself, placing a hand against his gromril armor as the goliath of a Bretonnian slumps. "We tried."

Tried, and, frankly, mostly failed save for what amounts to a few dregs liable to make no difference at all. In fact, after drawing more and more Druchii to you in the course of this, you've likely actually lost some in the numbers game. Frustration filling you, even the soothing words of your love and the ghostly impressions of him embracing you are not enough to stop you from tearing your helm off your head and rubbing vigorously at your temples. Even the thought of the stonehorn, who's magical imprisonment is soon to fade and decay thanks to Hultressa, the salamanders momentarily commanded upwards and outwards by the sorceress' grasp over Ghur to start scattering out across the Ark to set it aflame all the more, cannot stop you from wanting to outright scream. The Ark is burning, the Druchii are in absolute anarchy, but still, there are so very, very many on the Claw of Dominion that you could free!

…if only they would accept it in the first place.

Something must be done in Kislev. You and Frederick think in complete unison.

"There's little point in continuing on this," you say aloud, another heavy sigh emerging from you. "Do any of you disagree?" You ask, glancing amongst your commanders.

B'gos has hardly contributed to the discussion at all, seemingly content for now to simply follow along after Sadrina, but the humans and elves amongst you speak whole swathes of explanations between each other in that grim silence. If you had had even a modicum of success rather than failure after failure, there might have been more resistance. But frankly, speaking solely from a morale standpoint, you've suffered enough from this. Especially for Roland. A very pure sort of nobility, one without the coldness of your own or the admittedly harsher spirit of Frederick's, seems to well out of the bastard and much as seeing a pristine pool of water dirtied, the sheer state of the slaves leading to this is an unfortunate blight upon the man's spirits. He's grown more and more disheartened with each group of slaves that run, either into the distance or towards their masters, or are killed as a result of either. Frankly everyone but the Lizardmen are much the same in their own ways.

"Then let us move on," you growl, slamming your helmet back over your head before looking at Hultressa. "What we discussed?"

"There are a few in particular that purchased the bulk of the Asur slaves taken most recently and in the past," the sorceress says, appearing uncaring of the fury on the face of the freed Asur. "The Tor is out, as is the Temple of Khaine, but there are others we can target. How many will be there for us to find…that remains to be seen," she admits.

"Lead on, then," you gesture, and she nods before doing just that, stalking down the slave tunnel with purpose.

(The Noble Asur: 73+40+20+15+15+25+5-15+Ark Civil War[1d2=1](10)-Druchii Attentions(10)-Warband Slowing(10)-Marching Across The Claw(20)-Tor of Dominance Hoarding(15)-Temple Hoarding(15)-The Choicest Slaves(10)=108/100)

The only way that portal stays open is if the Slaaneshi cult wipe out the Cult of Athari down to the last druuchi

And given we're about to be hitting the Tor of Dominance the odds of that happening are startlingly low
 
[X] Straight To Target: Enough of this. No more distractions. No more other causes. You're going to the Tor, and you're getting your fucking husband back.

Best to go for the Tor while the Cult of Atharti goes after the Temple of Khaine to shut down the portal at the same time, wthat way Alyssa cant get any forces and demons from there without losing it, nor can she send any back up to help it

... This gives me chills. Full on consumption of a dynasty. At the very least its one less problem.
At least twins will be entertained.

"Right," you tilt your head at the skink, who tilts his head in turn. "His name?"

"B'gos'bin'td."

"…what?"

An appropriet reaction. A complitly alien fonetics and naming conventions.
Still, feel bad for them. I just like Lizardman.

... Enough people pointed it out and we already had a correction, so...
Are you ok there? Feeling better I hope. Do not beat yourself over it. Happens to the best.

As fun as Athari lead ark would be, we have our priorities, if we can mannage an accord with them after its one thing.
Wish them luck thoug, Could certanly use less deamons.

One less fire to put down. Plus a potential long term solution.

Like, nobody's planning on actually landing in Norsca unless forced to?
Click to expand...

I do. There will be complications thou. Not to mention, how likely is the cult of Mantlatan to simply bugger off with all the vessels forcing us to land the aark itself.

abominable said:
Naturally this doesnt automatically mean she's asexual or something of the sort.

Could be Demisectuall. Having a mental need fulfiled or relationship past certain level before her psychy permits phisical attraction.
Just a theory thou.

It'd be funny if, after all that buildup, Alyssa goes to protect the portal and gets ganked by the forces there, leaving Natasha and Hultressa vexed by not being able to kill her themselves. At least there should be plenty of other enemies to take their anger out on.

I WANT TO SEE HER PAIN!

I WANT TO SEE HER BLOOD!

Couldn't we not have the skinks utilize those salamander and such? Seems like a waste to let them go.
Click to expand...

Do you have any idea how difficult that is? Beastmasters are a very specific sub-caste of Skinks, amoung which salamander handlers still needs extensive training.

Sure they will cause some anarchy but its not like we came for anything specific other than Lizardman.

On another note, What are the odds of Stonehorn breaking down the remaining arena? Probably lower than farms but higher than docks.

We should let it out regardless. If nothing else it's a fresh source of disaster for the ark. Stonehorns batter their way through mountains when they get pissed off.

wait isn't our way back home starting with norsica also going through Kislev?

Depends if we can steal a boat or not. If we can get ocean transport we can cross the sea and land directly in Ostland. If we have to walk we have to walk literally the length of Norsca and will dip through the South Western top of Kislev.

It is we're likely going to help with the kislev civil war, and kill all the opposition to alex and at the same time meet all 3 daughter for the first time in a while

Honestly even if some heroes decide to go their own way like the lizardman and maybe Roland so he goes back to his questing, the army that we will have will be very very top heavy and powefull, gonna have elves in the hundreds and our heroes units will be elite capable of taking on any of the hero units the enemies have

Edit:

Even if the asur leave us, there would still be a strong human warband with Fred, natasha, Johanna and kerillian to fuck anyone's day

Hmm I wonder how that will effect things because if I recall correctly last time Freddy and Nat offered to come to help Alex her response was basically IIRC "yeah no, with how things are right now politcally it would be best if you didn't come help." which still might be a thing. Like sure she didn't ask us to come to kislev now and help but it'll still make her look politcally weak.

Not really there's no longer any internal division in kislev with the loyalists bokhas bending the knee, now it's only the kislev army against external forces, or internal forces that are under the control of enemies of Mankind the skaven or the vampires. So the political considerations that alex had at the start are no longer there
