Probably, anyway. It's not impossible he has the contacts to have learned it, or found out some other way, but the evidence points to him not having the information.
- Regimand doesn't need to be at the command centre for Mathilde to apply the fog of war trait.
- We're not facing a rabid beast but an opponent that already evaded the authorities once.
- The first move of a demon trying to exit the city would be to cause distractions.
- Unknown underworld turbulence could mean that the cults go bananas on D-Day.
- If the next vote is to investigate 2 out of 5 incidents and the tunnel is one of them then we're sending someone there anyways. Better to have someone ready up front.
I am sure the average citizen of the city would love a witch burning, but I am just as sure that 'cultist body was destroyed on the spot' is an entirely valid excuse to give. Hell there are literal mutations that do that. Making a public show out of it is not an obligation, getting rid of him before he can do more damage is. If Mathilde just takes off his head as soon as she can they are not exactly going to start accusing her of ulterior motives.

We have no idea what Alaric knows, or even suspects. He might know it, he might not.
Well, that's true. The ideal targets for 6 and 7 are with him, which gives him the advantage but 8 could be whoever. Alaric, a unfahiger, the current elector count of Talabecland (would make thematic sense, Alberich was elector count for a bit) so we don't really know the final target.
It is almost guaranteed that he does not know this is an 8 person ritual, the only people to know number 8 was not a particularly gruesome murder are the witch hunters Roswita who got it from her father the witch hunter and us, maybe Kasimir. In any case it is text that Mathilde does not think Alric known about number 8.
It is unlikely but with Alric being rather terrible at diplomacy he might have pissed off the locals who are keeping him in the dark.
While that could certainly be a reason for him to have missed Mathilde I don't think it likely that he missed the manhunt. Still that is a fair point, if he just thinks it's random cultist hunting, because all he has are rumors he might just sit tight.

Random witch hunting about someone called Alberich. Nothing to do with the ritual afflicting the unfahigers.
IDK if they announced his name at all. That is the easiest thing for a fugitive to change after all.
They certainly showed around his picture, but I doubt Alric knows how the former EC of Stirland looks, they went through at least half a dozen during his life-time after all.

Shouldn't all potential victims be gathered in one area under Alric's protection, that way the culprit will have no choice but to go into the trap instead of doing a coin flip on which target to choose.

- [X] Have all potential ritual victims gather in one place or as few specific place under your, Alric's or Regimands protection under heavy guard. That way Alberich will be forced to come to his victims under protection.

We haven't taken any action to contact Alric or the Unafigers, so that's not really going to work.

This seems like the place to be. The Magister Patriarch doesn't need pur backup, the prders are doing what they do best, but the Unfähigers are living up to their name in that lodge and could use our backup.

The circumstances of Alberich's disappearance are kept secret, presumably because it's the sort of thing the powers that be really don't want the general populace to know. The fact that a former Elector Count of the Empire turned to Chaos, went on a trip to Hell, and has returned to murder the nobles of the Empire is likewise the kind of thing the authorities wouldn't want to advertise. I'll be shocked if Alberich's identity is known to anyone involved in the search save maybe the Hunter Lord and some of his closest subordinates, and possibly not even that.
For whatever reason, that's the way Alric chose to go. According to Mathilde the next victim has already been decided and it was possible for her to see it with her Windsight, and she believes Alric also knows the identity of the next victim. Maybe Alric thinks changing the victim mid-ritual is difficult? Maybe his protections work best when they protect a small number of people? Who knows. We never talked to anyone involved in the Alric investigation so we can only guess.

Maybe he's trying to ambush Alberich possibly from some sort of magical concealment?
Alric willingly cutting himself off from the outside would neatly explain why he hasn't reacted to the new developments.
A Light Wizard trying to be stealthy with magic? That does not seem likely. It would be like if we tried to make a truth spell with Ulgu.
Light magic has some space warping stuff and whatever Alric's faults he's no slouch when it comes to magic.

Does it? Holding perimeter doesn't feel like scouting. If anything it should've applied to the manhunt, but even there it would be sorta tetchy because because frankly this is not army against army.

Certainly it does, but I do not think those allow one to hide, it feels too opposed to its other themes. Cython making tunnels wider is one thing, him using it to expand a closet to fit in and jump out at the rats less so.
