To what is it a reference?😁Ya know if they are going out the same way that other dynasty did in Stirland. It raises the possibly that its the same vampire carrying these out.
One horrifying possibility is vampires having a Agent 47 equivalent. At any moment a flying suitcase is gonna chase us twenty miles across the country when we get on our shadowsteed
We should bring Heidi into this. She's the empress, and so could open us all the doors and gives us nearly all the ressources.

I'm shocked at you Omegahugger. Shocked.
You haven't taken the chance to point out that the true mastermind for uprooting the first conspiracy was Van Hal and his posthumous notebook. And that therefore the best possible help is via necromancy

Mathilde did take the chance to enlarge her collection of trashy romance novels, after all.

The best part is, in actual update he contributes even less:
"Okay Johann, how do you think your arm works?"
"Mhhhm just five more minutes..."
mhm, tempted for Heidi to open up more interaction with her and perhaps even understand her more and how she could help us in the future but the option sounds like she's giving us options, political powers, and connections but ultimately expecting us to solve it which costs AP while Regimand seems like the dude who will handle it all himself like he did with the previous emperess.
mhm, still wished we took the opportunity to sabatoge Alric, would of definitely chosen Hedi option then to steal the credit for ourselves but thinking of just doing the responsible thing and contacting our master to go uber hard on this conspiracy boogalo.

Didn't expect another arcane mark at this stage at least outside of battle but this is a pretty benign arcane mark to get. Nice boost to Intrigue which is now Mathilde's second best stat.
Good timing too since after tons of Learning, Piety and Martial epic deeds with a sprinkle of Diplomacy we're finally going back to our Intrigue laden roots with a real blast from the past. Talking to the local Witch Hunters or interrogating the Unfahigers seem like solid choices.
As for who to contact - working with Alric would have been the most straightforward option but since we don't want to help him we've got the though choice between Regimand or Heidi.

I mean more that the fact that she is committing fraud by simply holding the position you mean? On the scale of covering up Hedi we have arguably committed treason. I am not sure bad precedent matters, and it would be in line with Mathilde putting her faith before her role as a wizard, so one cannot say it is out of character.

No malus due to having contributors?
Is her race just that attractive to humans or is Mathilde just really smitten by Cadaeth? I remember her appreciating on her looks each scene they have.

Also did White Dwarf just peace out after K8P? When? For all the foreshadowing Mathilde and the guy never interacted at all. Dug for an hour using search bar too.
They're employees of Mathilde's, so they don't give a malus.
The downside of waiting for a dramatically appropriate moment to reveal yourself is sometimes things sort themselves out without needing your input. It's probably not the first time that's happened to him.

He did fight as a regular dwarf at the gates though, if I remember correctly?
He just didnt have a reason to reveal himself, doesn't mean he didn't take the chance to kill some Greenskins and save a dwarven life or two.

I'm getting the distinct impression that these lurid tales are working towards a theme of Tree Lady Step Please.
I think this is meant to be *write a paper on the prosthetic.
I really, really want this "work with Heidi" option to win. Please?

I think "arm" should be "paper".
I like Arcane Marks, as long as we keep dodging Forgettable, but that's going get harder and harder unless we get novel ones.
Yeah. The way he normally operates is that in the middle of battle when all seems lost, a unnoticed longbeard among the Throng throws off his cloak and reveals himself as the White Dwarf. I have to figure that means he's been in a few Throngs that didn't end up needing him, and he's just had a normal battle, enjoyed a quiet victory drink afterwards, and then wandered onwards.
Moratorium for 3 more hours my guy.
This seems like foreshadowing and the parts will make sense later. The description is too detailed. Maybe the directions are for Chaos and aren't for the magnetic field? There's lots of bad juju in the poles right?
To be honest this is baseless if this was actually how waystones are described in the lore.

Don't remember when Mathilde bought Elven romance for the libary but good to know we can cross that off.
too not two?
Imagine using grounded and not rooted.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my Christmas is ruined.
I see this as a complete win
Do we lose college favour for shared authorship?
Man, these were some lousy rolls. At least the arcane mark we got was good. Praise be to Halétha, who shelters us in shadows.
It sure is nice to finally ask someone to join the project and get a flat 'yes' instead of a fetch quest.
Two options I dislike - the Hochlander and the Ulrikadrin. The Hochlander is an Ulgu user and so using the Hysh part of the saddle might be bad for him, winds in the brainmeat and all that. The Ulrikadrin might be unusually well disposed towards magic for Ulricans, but Ulricans they are. A magic item that does away with the stress of a task seems anathema to their beliefs: you're supposed to power through the exhaustion like a man, not cheat with magic of all things.
The EIC and the Undumgi are both nice. This item could be given to messangers or scouts who need to work long hours. It's a bit risky to give an enchanted item to a normal unit, since it may be stolen or lost if they fall, but it's honestly kind of a lame item so I think this is fine. Giving it to the EIC is obviously the better choice for purely selfish reasons, but I could be convinced to go for the Undumgi .
Donating it to the Colleges might be the best for what we actually enchanted this item for - a proof of concept. We will no doubt write a paper on this, but if this paper is accompanied by the actual item I think the colleges will be more impressed. So all in all I'm leaning towards the EIC or the Colleges right now.
Alric seems right out, as it goes against the spirit of the mission. I'm not ruling out bringing him in if the matter looks to be too serious, but it definitely shouldn't be the first thing we try.
Heidi is a bit of a two edged sword. The Empress has a lot of influence, true, but wielding it requires working at least somewhat openly. This could seriously backfire if this brings attentions to Heidi's connections to the Haupt-Anderssens. I don't like this option very much.
Regimand, though, I like everything about. He has specific knowledge relevant to the problem, he is a kickass spy, and we know and trust him. Bringing him in gives us an opportunity to work along with our former master, but where we were once an apprentice following orders, we are now a Lady Magister asking for the help of a Magister. This is cool, I love this, there isn't enough Regimand in this story, let's do this please.
Honestly, I have no idea. I'll wait for others to give their opinions but I lean towards just rolling a die, since clearly we have lost Ranald's favour and need to appease Him.
