[X] You are a faithful of Ranald, being in the right place at the right time to unbalance the scales. Try to steal the energies.

There is some famous line about eating energy fields larger than your head and there are so many ways this can and likely will go wrong.
On the other hand this is honestly the only real option I see Ranalds faithful choosing (player-wise, I could totally see a real ranaldian priest going nope too big a chance to die today and do fuckall tomorrow I'm out!)
 
Hey BoneyM, If you haven't yet decided on all results of the possible dice rolls, have you considered a Catgirl Mathilde on a low roll? Ranald is the god of cats afterall, and given we spend all our time in the shadows we can probably get away with it.
 
People, let's think about this rationally.

If Mathilde succesfully manages to destroy Mork's power, she can add Gottunterbrecher to her list of titles.

And if we're being honest, isn't that worth any risk?

Fixed it for you, such a blessing would only be given to the most devout of his followers.
 
[X] You are a Magister of the Grey Order, and follow the traditions laid down by Teclis and Magnus the Pious. Try to ground the energies.
 
Hey guys! I just noticed and caught up with this quest what's going o...

I was half rembering something about WHF werewolves being an Urican blessing thing, so there'd be sort of precedent of god given mutations, but googling seems to say they were written out.

Thing is those are established already by an acceptable god and even then people are wary because Skin wolves are a thing that exist.

Ranald has none of of those things going for him.
 
On the the other hand, I suppose it would make the decision of whether to return to the Empire or stick around in Karak Eight Peaks a much easier one.

But I'm not sure if I prefer the "steal the energies like Ranald" or the "steal the energies for Ranald" interpretation. Perhaps it's even try to steal it for ourselves and if we mess up non-catastrophically, pass it on to Ranald instead.

I also wouldn't mind seeing this option win - self reliant Mathilde.

So it'd be a huge, long lasting diplomacy penalty, since we'd need to hide in the shadows, which would make us seem untrustworthy.
and it'd cost us a bunch of favours to have belegar come with us to expain it, but since the dwarves didn't murder us we're not chaos corrupted, and god-given mutations exist then our explanation to important people is fine we're not hunted down.

bad, but no explosion.

Also these God given Mutations would more than likely be from Mork not Ranald since it's his energy you are trying to take.

So no we would mega screwed and probably killed.

Yes, people keep talking about heads and fields, but I see it as us finding a nice watermelon sized energy field, and inviting our friend who has a nice set of knifes to come eat with us, we are getting our fill and he can take the rest home.

it's better than exploding.

Only very marginally, a person with animal features in Warhammer = Mutant and/or Beastman.

...you flow onto Dread Aspect, the first time you've used the spell outside of practice. A foolish mistake, one more suited to an apprentice than someone of your rank and experience, but you compensate quickly, altering the spell on the fly to account for the thrashing of Ulgu as it tries to tear itself free from your grasp and forcing your will upon it. You are a Magister of the Grey Order, and Ulgu can obey willingly or you will make it.

You can bet on Ranald, but I'm gonna say Ranald is betting on this Mathilde.

[X] You are a Magister of the Grey Order, and follow the traditions laid down by Teclis and Magnus the Pious. Try to ground the energies
 
[X] You are Dwarf-friend and you bear upon your person a masterpiece developed by the oldest and wisest Runepriest of the Karaz Ankor. Try to destroy the energies.

Want to see if we can destroy Gork.. Or Mork. Either works.
 
I'd be down for Cat-ears Mathilde, as an alternative to exploding, but with the acknowledgement that it would be as an alternative to bad-end exploding, not something to make light of; physical mutations are a deadly serious deal, and I'm not sure if there's ever been an incident where they cropped up that wasn't indicative of corruption by the evil powers (In fact, Ranald might not be able to do that even if he wanted to, irrespective of this entire scenario, because the entire mutations thing might be an evil-god-only trait).

On a good roll we might get Ranald's cat-bait trait, though, which would be just as catty, and much more socially acceptable.

Straight up dying would actually probably be a better outcome than getting a permanent mutation - after all, we have a Phoenix Down on us, while a mutation would be much harder to deal with.

I'm not sure if the Seed would save us from a god-explosion.
