It's not very not sure what's the right word, etiquette?, to ask for a reward for doing something you weren't paid to do. Even if we get something it probably won't really be much. Probably just some college favor in exchange for goodwill.
I did not mean that we should cage match martial Champions, or look for situations where we cage match martial Champions.vor to train to get to the point of cage matching Martial Champions
Overwork for self-improvement? Not so keen on this personally.
No Hedgewise action, your plan is invalid.
I would rather take another swing at Widherding (ring of sudden dawn)
You're taking me too literally. My point was, while Mathilde is busy being a multidisciplinary wizard, and doing research and diplomacy for the Waystone project, those actions are only indirectly going to help her own survival, if at all. Meanwhile, the scale of the enemies she faces keeps going up throughout the quest, whether she seeks out deadly combat or not. And while Mathile is capable of calling in entire armies to support her, for better or worse she keeps deciding to hit things with her sword. As seen in the very update, where there are 6 votes to call in the Longshanks for reinforcement to the 98+ votes to take on Alberich solo with Branulhune.
I think that the style will come with +1 (if the dwarf style we got off Gunnder is any example) so that 24.
I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. Most of the fire protection is resistance, and most of what I recall is elven dragon-themed stuff.
Asking for a reward for doing something someone didn't ask you to do is a dick move. It completely sours any gratitude they might have. Mira didn't lose anything, Mathilde did all this by herself without working out a deal with Mira, she has absolutely no right to ask for anything. Mira might give her something, but it would be insignificant in the face of the loss in opportunity of what we could get if we simply use that gratitude to form a closer relationship. The thread refused to negotiate with Mira, so I will never vote to get something from her, even as a question.
Yes, Boney said that before:
That Alberich was involved? Why would we hide that from Mira. It's literally the most vital aspect of this whole thing. How is that going to hurt us? Everyone already knows Mathilde is friends with the Empress so I don't think you meant that part.
The best thing I can say about Windherding at the moment is that it can be done through WEB-MAT, which are far less flexible than our personal actions so it's less of a loss. But really, I'm not invested enough in windherding for the sake of windherding. As I said before, I really need to be sold on it, and right now the proposed item - ring of sudden dawn - completely fails to capture my interest. It's just a trinket, if we didn't want to Windherd we wouldn't think about making it. I really feel like we should try and actually think of an item worth making for its own sake, if we're going to do it at all.
As much as I would like that, the corner of the Forest of Shadows we're going to look at is literally the furthest point away from the Halethan Hedgewise in the Forest of Shadows. In all likelihood there will be no interaction with them at all.
this is a very salit point.
Please, please, please. Windherding didn't work this turn because we rolled terribly so we got an item that did the bare minimum but we also got a very heavy hint that there is a lot more to discover there, I really hate the idea of shelving windherding just because of one bad roll.
What's it supposed to do?
Jyn originally proposed it here:
We have to walk before we run through.
But we're not going to use it, because we have limited magical item slots and they are all taken. Which means it's going to be given to someone else, like the Saddle. And that's just...boring.
Do we know for sure he's an Everchosen contender? Out of character I mean?
I mean... Mathilde kind of is a martial character. Martial 23 plus Master Swordswoman proves it. She's just generally better at being a magic caster- the important word there being 'generally', because she doesn't have any spells as killy as her sword.
