Could the cult of Taal have information on the waystones? Looking at the various imperial cults around, I'd say they're the most likely to do so with their close ties to the old faith. Making a good contact with them in exchange of the possibility alone might be worth it.

I mean, it's not like Mathilde yelled "By the power of Ghal Maraz!" and fought a lich outside the gates of Altdorf with a hammer alongside the cult of Sigmar.

Uh, can you like not attack my shitpost with this.. this... "reasonable and well thought out point" please? :p

Anyway, wrt to the ??? Bonus on Mathilde being larger than on the Longshanks, I've not seen the suggestion that it may have been potentially be the relevant god(s) focusing more on Mathilde than the Longshanks because she was resonating more, or had a much cooler howl or represented a much higher concentration of force.

Or that and there being more gods helping her. :)
 
I don't really expect a connection with the Longshanks to pay off for the Waystone project, or maybe not even at all, but just having the connection in the backhand seems like the sort of resource that might come in handy one day.

Ulric does seem like the kind of petty god that rewards people who howl better more than those who fail at it.

I think it is at least import being a wizard so her soul has more of a resonance with the Aethyr, also the Avatar trait might mean they have a slightly easier time pulling off a blessing than with a normal wizard.
 
You know, I was about to check what is the weight of the human arm, because him getting disarmed is not really losing 28% of his body mass. Only to remember it was his mutated overgrown arm that was lost.

We will assume he lost his entire arm because he Boney wrote that the sword cut through the bicep, so I be generous and say it was at the closest point to the shoulder and the left over a negligible.

So math time, an average male weight in Europe is 70 kg, an average full arm weight, according to dubious sources in google, weight 5.7% of that.

That leaves pre mutation san arm weight of Alberich to be 66.01 kg, with 3.99 kg at his old arm weight.

Now, giving he lost 28% mass at that little surprise weight loss regime, we can conclude his new arm weight is 25.67 Bringing his whole weight to be 91.68 kg.

The mutation increased his arm from 3.99 kg to 25.67. Or an 643% increase in weight...

Heh, good number, a fitting number. Now if we assume that not all the arm was gone. That the dismemberment was at a point lower down the bicep, then that mean that the arm weight of in his body proportion was even higher. Egro, a higher increase in the mutation growth rate.

Some quick disgusting math and assuming that Mathilde cut his arm in a way which leave exactly 2.44% percent of it still hanging into his body, which is Reasonable, make it so that the mutant arm weight at exactly 26.57 kg. which makes the increase in weight exactly 666%.

*note that the numbers here were rounded for ease of readability. feel free to try yourself.

Even should all other information was absent on Alberich, Mathilde still had a pretty good chance at discovering he was a slaaneshi bad boy.

I was perfectly fine with Sir Philipp Freytag and thought he was a fine guy, but Mathilde certainly didn't like him:

He managed to make Mathilde throw out a thin smile, which is certainly an achievement. Few people can make Mathilde that insincere in her responses.

I'm not convinced she was being insincere? She's smiling because she's just gotten a lot closer to killing chaos-dude, not because she likes Freytag.

It is not well known that we just hunted down and killed a former EC turned chaos cultist (saving the empire from embarrassment) / Everchosen candidate (not clear if anyone in character knows that but would be great deed worthy). While we have gotten great deeds for secret actions before, publicly claiming credit for this does not seem important for getting credit for a great deed, because the things that make it great deed worthy are secret and should be secret.
 
The Longshanks

Their duties aside its not just them but the cooperation and overall support from brass balled followers/supporters that net us the kill.

And its a beautiful kill. Worthy of The Bride.

That's not how it works, we're literally giving up credit for this if any of the non-mathilde options are taken, that means if this is great deed worthy we don't get the great deed.

if this is worth 30 college favour as an outlandish example then we're basically surrendering that 30 college favour to which ever option wins, maybe that means we get +1 Longshanks favour, maybe it doesn't but the point is if we give credit to others than Mathilde is literally giving away her share of the credit.

Maybe, or to be more charitable to Him*, perhaps a better howl just makes for a clearer connection.

*My bias is as follows: Dude's got himself some mighty thews. I'm inclined to think more positively of him for that reason. :p
(Sigmar's got less mighty thews, and is stingy with the torch batteries.

Once upon a time, Ciaphas Cain retired to a planet to teach up-and-coming Commissar cadets. And then the 13th Black Crusade came to the planet he'd retired to. In Warhammer-verse, Cool Shit Finds You.

So you're telling me Alric tried to retire to Stirland and was kicked out by Roswita, and also tried to retire to Nurn and was kicked out by Elspeth, and then finally tried to retire to Talabheim, and somehow ended up protecting the Unfahiger?

Well, he did whole up in a Spa.

For cover stories, friendship and for confounding Alric.

I also like the idea that Mathilde with her recognition seeking ways has such an excess of glory she's happy to pass this one on.

Here is the credit we would be claiming:

Who will get the credit for the death of this unknown but powerful Magus?

[ ] Yourself
And why not? Nobody could possibly fault you for simply doing your duty to the Empire. Accept the accolades and the attention you have earned.

We are claiming accolades and attention for killing an unknown but powerful Magus. That doesn't seem great deed worthy but maybe I'm wrong. The way I read this is that we will have a chance to tell some people what really happened. So we can tell Algard, Heidi, and Mira what really happened if we want. @Boney am I roughly accurate here? The last 2 great deeds we got we secretly told Algard about and he arranged that we got the great deed. Even if this is not great deed worthy because nobody IC realizes that Alberich was an Everchosen candidate Algard will still appreciate that we killed a cultist and kept the empire from being embarrassed by an EC turned chaos cultist so we might at least get college favor that way.
