Mira should count herself lucky. Unlike previous people we've overachieved for, we aren't informing her of our actions by dropping the severed head of an enemy on her desk.
(Mathilde being a cat who saunters off into the night and brings back murderpresents nobody asked for continues to be a distressingly accurate description.)
We could mail her the ashes...
We have a really good sword. There are very few things that are better dealt with by something other than cannon-blade.
You don't know wizard dad very well if you think Mathy having the spell will make him use it less.
It will just make him more creative.

While I don't like them all that much, we need to investigate both sides of the river more than anything else at the moment.
A reminder that the time Eike becomes eligible for apprenticeship is coming soon. Therefore, teaching classes are a top priority on the self improvement front.
That part was proven beyond doubt when she brought home a live rat.

Not saying that teaching classes won't provide a boost in experience but would it be that impactful? Apprentices do get 1 on 1 training that's substantially different from teaching a class.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that if we are going to keep doing it, we need to keep working on swording, not get into thinking 'mathy is not really a fighter'

Uhh, Mathilde didn't one v one Alberich she assassinated him, there was no contested martial roll for him against her the entire update. If we really wanna do a lesson learned vis a vis self improvement the result is "get better at assassinating people".

While I wouldn't say no to improving Mathilde's Assassination skills (though I don't think its possible to improve it further via pure training) I don't think it would have made much difference here.
There's only so much you can do when a Chaos God decides that this dude needs to survive- and even then his roll was for what percentage of his body he retained.
From an 'assassin' point of view, Mathilde didn't really make any mistakes that could be solved by higher skill. Some people are just really hard to take out in one go.
As I understand it, those teaching classes are precisely for that 1 on 1 mentorship and not for classes

I'mma wanna poke one of the hedgewise groups. So as to ascertain their suitability of joining the colleges.
Edit: Buttt, this is way behind the leading options, so I'm adding in my second choice

Doesn't seem likely we'll get too far without checking into the other side of the river, so might as well start there.

Eike entered the Grey College at turn 34. Mathilde said her training will require three to five years, so she should become eligible for apprenticeship at turn 40 at the earliest, and it might be as late as turn 44. We can easily wait one or two turns before taking teaching classes.

That is also an incentive to learn Cloak Activity.
I still have images of Mathilde chucking her sword at someone running away* and then teleporting it back to her hand - though in this instance, and indeed most instances where range is either forced on Mathilde or is something she desires; the target is imo, very likely to be the sort that is fast enough to dodge or grab the hilt.
And now I think on it, when the four get involved; they can supress the runes to various degrees if they want to put their effort there, and losing your sword because the Rune of the Unknown has been supressed after you chuck it would be fatally embarrassing.

Huh. I've argued myself out of ever trying to get a "throw cannon sword, and have it teleport back to hand" thingy going on, but just as a matter of curiosity @Boney, have you decided on/has Mathilde ever experimented with how far away her sword can be and still be recalled to her hand?
(or is the recall effect one that uses up how much 'charge' the runes have, so if you call if from far enough away it'd drain the batteries for a while?)
(Ohhh; Idle musing: I wonder what happens (if 'charge used' varies with distance), if Mathilde tries to call the sword from further away than it has enough charge to carry it)
(pre post edit: I'm just playing with ideas here, if this isn't something you've pinned down then don't sweat it)

*Ladies should not throw swords at people in inclement weather, and even high-humidity is a bit dodgy. Just after a bath is right out.
