Uhh, last turn had a huge debate on whether to convert Van Hal to Ranald or not. Specifically, to lay the groundwork for conversion. I'm pretty sure the consensus was to not do that. Other then that, the plan looks good.

Hm.
Ultimately, once the Stirlandian League is destroyed, I'm not sure if I care about catching the old spymaster or his cronies. We've got a lot of stuff to do and while it's tempting to think "but surely he'll hit back", I suspect that's just paranoia. The idea behind hitting back is being able to regain one's old position by destroying the enemy, which is just never going to happen as long as Van Hal is in charge and with the entire military and legal might of Stirland on his side. I think it's much more likely that they'll take their money and run. Letting them get away sucks, but we need a healthy and prosperous Stirland more than we need to take vengeance on those who have damaged it.
From that premise, either assets or documents are the highest priority, depending upon whether we want a larger one-time boost or a larger +income/turn sooner. I am inclined to say that we want income/turn; if we give Van Hal a huge influx of cash he'll immediately spend it all and the economy will have a much harder time recovering to replace those funds, but making the economy return to a healthy state faster which means not only does he make more money, he'll also become more popular as Elector Count because everyone on all levels will start benefiting from the new state of things and know that he was responsible.
Aside from that, the mirror catch box+Ranald is basically mandatory, but nothing else is on fire so I'm inclined to throw ourselves wholeheartedly into training and socialization. We're already working with Wilhelmina professionally this turn, so let's swing a training action with Gustav- apparently our exciting tales of magical infiltrators impressed the rest of the council so we're in a good position to capitalize on that by trying to make a friendship out of training activities. Better to get in on the ground floor with him if possible than to go after Schultz or Kasmir and play catch-up.
We could investigate Julia's background but I'm inclined to say that we got a solid interview roll, her background is partially confirmed already via Anton and generally being a high-profile person. Instead, we should throw our free social action at her to learn more while also building a closer rapport with her- because we want our lieutenant to like and trust us personally. A snooping action would be more likely to catch any already existing flaws in her (chaos cultist, etc.) but much less likely to build personal loyalty, and building personal loyalty to the head spy amongst the spies is important. We want Julia's opinion of us to be 10/10 (even if it's unlikely to ever quite reach there).
Aside from that, we haven't learned a single new shadow spell yet and Take No Heed should be both relatively easy to learn and invaluable when running around doing shady things. It's important to change this "not studying magic" trend and while I'm all in favor of studying enchantment or spellbinding, learning actual spells takes priority over that in my mind- for now, at least.
Our discretionary income is feeling squeezed while our personal income is not, so we can cut down on the embezzlement for the moment and pay our student loans out of our actual pay.

You can currently do low-level enchantments (due to the choice made back during charbuild) but to perform more advanced enchantments you'll have to take the enchantment option at the bottom of self-improvement. Currently you can do temporary petty enchantments, which is a significant saving on candles but not that useful besides.
Inside it - just say 'ranald's blessing' on one of the line items.

Point. It might be better though to vet a local Sigmar priest, and have him talk to Van Hal.

If you look at our character sheet, you'll see that we currently have 150 personal gold and 380 discretionary gold. If you look at the latest turn, you'll see that (although it's a little bit confusingly listed, because the embezzlement isn't showing as adding to personal) we're getting +45g personal and +25g discretionary per turn, before one-time/incidental expenses.
We are a Grey Wizard, sworn to avoid accumulating wealth beyond what is reasonably related to our job. It's reasonable to have a store of gold set aside for unexpected personal expenses and needs for our professional development, even a store as large as a couple hundred gold. But accumulating that much cash per turn when our professional budget is that squeezed, particularly when we're making a habit of going to Van Hal for additional funds when we have large one-time expenses? It's unjustifiable. We simply don't need the cash and we're not greedy enough to fuck our budget when it has a chance of impacting our job and is against our code besides.

For some reason I was under the impression we had increased the rate we pay off our debt. Gonna add that to my plan.
As much as I agree, I just don't think we're in a position to be of much help here. Saying that a lifetime of faith shouldn't be ruined by the actions of misguided men is about all we could do, and then it would be up to the roll. We simply do not know any priests reliable or trustworthy enough to help out.

I mean, we could spend an action to try to find and vet a priest. Not sure how feasible that is, and it could end up finding no reliable priests.

@BoneyM some plans are making assumptions, so I'd like to check if we are reading this right?
[ ] The documents of the Stirlandian League will allow you to rebuild the north-south trade network with speed and efficiency.
-more likely to increase Stirland's per-turn income (faster)?
[ ] The assets of the Stirlandian League will be a huge boost to Stirland's coffers.
-more likely to result in a larger one-time windfall, but not boost the regular income?

Given the state of Stirland, I would support either focusing on the leadership to help tie up loose ends with our predecessor, coodinating with other provinces to build goodwill, or grabbing their resources, to increase the treasury.

Shyishkebabs- are they? Do we really know that? When we specified that box, Mathilde/we were guessing. I don't recall anything saying we'd cut them off from the Winds completely. So... absorption, mixing, Dhar. Still a risk?

In some ways, the safest thing to do would be put them back in the pure Shyish-barrow till we get round to them. Something to do with our Greatsword squad.

*Marks down on list of gifts: Tinkertech*
Option analysis:
[ ] The leaders of the Stirlandian League need to be rounded up so you can question them regarding their former patron.
THis would be the Backtrace option. Useful for intel, but I'm pretty sure we've given them enough lead time that their patron would have cutouts.
[ ] Rounding up as many of the individual members of the League as possible will make it clear that nobody can engage in this sort of behaviour without facing eventual consequences.
Making an example. Doesn't really work.
[ ] Though Van Hal didn't mention it, you could work with authorities in Talabecland and Averland to help them do their own purges parallel to yours. They'd likely be grateful, but it will come at the expense of your activities in Stirland.
Diplomatic route. However, we don't actually know what THEY think of the whole thing so it's prone to backfire.
[ ] The documents of the Stirlandian League will allow you to rebuild the north-south trade network with speed and efficiency.
Stewardship route. This is the link with Wilhemina, and most likely the most lucrative one long term.
[ ] The assets of the Stirlandian League will be a huge boost to Stirland's coffers.
Their material funds. This is a one shot boost in resources, but as per the update we are fine for immediate expenses. What we need is cash flow, not treasury.

6/6-8
Main difference points from the other plans:
-The League doesn't need the Blessing. We have the ledgers, we have Wilhelmina double teaming.
-As per our economy:
We need income, we have enough budget for Right Now, but we need cashflow to pay for everything. Hence, focus on their documents so we don't leave Wilhemina needing to build a nation-spanning trade route from scratch
-We DO want to bless the mirrorcatch box. Getting rid of the snake is going to be risky due to working with mirrors. We want Ranald looking out for us so the snake doesn't bite us during construction.
-Not meddling further with Van Hal's religious beliefs since we're not really suited to any of the other angles than conversion to Ranald, and well...thread decided thats not good.
-Also given our magical ability capping out the Petty Magics, the next step will require higher Learning and Intrigue.
--Fortunately we've done a shitload of Learning and Intrigue rolls last turn. We have a good bonus to make it work.

Having a really great time right now
I'm down for pretty much everything you're suggesting, but I do think being able to bind a spell to our agents should take priority over learning a new spell. Even now, when we can only bind Armor or Shadowsteed instead of Invisibility or whatever, that is an amazing ability we should acquire ASAP.
I also prefer constructing the Mirrorbox via an artisan, since that would give us an interesting potential asset and is much less personally dangerous, but with Ranald's blessing we should be safe enough.
