While I haven't been really keeping up with the thread, because wow it moves fast, I will note that if we want to spend time wrecking Skaven faces in Karak Eight Peaks we should probably head back to the College first. There's a couple of reasons for that.
First, there are some really useful spells that the College can teach us that would be extremely helpful when dealing with the Skaven. We have Shroud of Invisibility, we have Throttle, we have Cloak Activity, and we have Universal Confusion, Shadow Knives, and Illusion. All of which would be immensely helpful in quickly and stealthily dealing with the Skaven.
Secondly, information. It's clear given the suppressed memory that the Grey Order knows a lot more about the Skaven than a lot of other people in the Empire do. Getting access to that information to discover more of their weaknesses, tech, divisions, and society would allow us to more effectively engaging in a campaign of mass terror and destruction in the City of Pillars.
Third, it will give us time to get some more enchanting done, which allows us to better gear up for dealing with the Skaven. A ring of Doppelganger, for instance, could be extremely important in constantly maintaining the necessary spell to let the Ranald Coin work.
It will also give us time, should we do anything like that, to prepare and to plan what our objectives would be, and how we would know if our goals are being successful.
