The locals (Longsharks) are getting credit regardless of our choice.

This is just about how Mathilde's part is to be described. I.e., should Mathilde just be left out (Handing 100% to the Longsharks), or does she want them to say anything about her. This option would basically be "In Cooperation with the Empire" with a bit of flavour text about how Solidarity and Unity will always defeat the Infighting Chaos.

They are getting half the credit, we can give them all the credit and give some good will, or give that credit to an organization whose patron god Mathilde disdains. Also I think you are vastly overestimating how inspired the average citizen of Talbeheim will be over this. It is not going to be 'yay witch hunters', but more 'good that they were there this time, but I really do not like the thought of those Sigmarite foreigners muscling in'.

I am sad we did not get a chance to loot from the nobles and recover ancient imperial treasures. Also we are going to need money because the waystone project is getting expensive.
My curiosity will burn at me evermore. Unless...


@Boney as Mathilde is not going to be checing out those hidden rooms, would you mind terribly making a wee note now for the post game questions?

Just if you intended to roll for what is in them when we took the action, or if you had already rolled what was in them by [this most recent update]/the contents we not dictated by roll, and if the contents are not roll based, what you choose them to be?

(Please don't tell us either way now - not knowing what it is that we missed makes the quest feel better to play for reasons I'm too lazy to find the words for ;) )
 
I feel like voting Order of light might be kinda risky? Not in the sense of "oh no Alric found us out", but rather, the soft schism within the light order.

Before this, Mira and Alric have essentially just been trading the post like they are playing hot potato, and while they are working against each other, it's generally been contained within the order. Ergo, Mathilda having no idea how bad it was, before she picked up light mages and stuff.

And if we give credit to Mira, that means Alric will know he lost his "grand deed" to Mira's actions. It might cause both, and force both Alric and Mira to do harder actions against each other in order to keep and obtain the seat of leadership.

Way back when we talked with Mira, the sabotage options also only said to hinder Alric, not give credit to Mira, so this might been something Mira herself thought about, and figured was too risky/increased the stakes of the patriarch far too much.

As it stands, if someone else were to gain credit, Alric might have suspicious about Mira's involvment, but that isn't the same as confirmation. The soft schism within the light order is hidden for now, but if this becomes more public, more observable by everyone else...It might have some bad consquences.

Overall, i think either Sigmar's order for keeping Hilda hidden, and rightfully rewarding the templars for being willing to play ball with us, or Taal's because they were a huge help, and we'd most likely not have as huge chance without them.

his name was Al Murry

Get it right ;)
Nah. It was Al Bundy.

Fun fact that Boney told me and I'm not making up in any way: If Al had have suceeded in his "cusp of death" necromancy attempt on Mathilde, the quest would have changed genre to a darkly comedic sitcom, as Mathilde spends the two turns doing what she's ordered to, but in the most malicously compliant way possible, until Al, in utter desperation, goes to Morr to break the connection. (I.e. get a divorce).

Mathilde ends up with a super useful anti-vampire knowlesge that ushers in a new age of efficency in vampiric-perscution and Al gets the eternal loathing of his vampiric (former) frenemies.

(Wolf plays Bob and Kelly is played by that (unreanimated) dragon skeleton.)

He might've been planning to stab the victim in the throat. Maybe even, uh, shove the knife down his throat. Pretty gruesome, if true.

Or decapitate them with a fish bone, which would not only be a pretty sufficient jump up from the choking as to fit with the prior excessive violence (that's gonna take quite a bit of work to get through a neck with a fish bone knife), but would also be wonderfully poetic in how he died.
 
How valuable is Longshanks cred?

Are they local to Talabheim or do they stretch across all of Taal's sacred sites? How many of those even are there? For a 'king of gods' Taal seems pretty firmly second fiddle to Ulric and Sigmar, but ahead of some of the others in the pantheon.
 
The Longshanks are primarily guardians of Taalite and Rhyan shrines and pilgrimages and operate as such throughout the Empire, it's mostly only in Talabecland that they fulfil the role of Witch Hunters too.

It can be useful next time we have to do things in forest. For example, investigating the forest of shadows...
