Not really? I mean, I haven't read 1E Stone and Steel so maybe there is something there, but Dwarves are endlessly practical and they communicate through their written language, which canon attempts to make it so that it's a secret but Boney didn't even bother with that because the idea of keeping a language that you constantly speak and write in around others secret is an absurd idea.
Johann social for the romance vote.

There was the whole festival thing where the lodestone(?) meant something.

Can't see it now that I check so might be misremembering. Or from an apocrypha, maybe the one where Ranald was getting shipping opinions from different gods.
 
Isn't it more that you need favor of all Four, and after Be'lakor they've never do that for any Daemon Princes? And Be'lakor isn't going to get that crown either, because he's the reason they don't do it anymore. So by exclusion, you need to be a mortal champion.
(This post was brought to you by pedantry)
Be'lakor is the very first Daemon Prince, so it's a bit redundant to say "after Be'lakor". He's the one who created the system in the first place. There has never been, and will never be, a Daemon Prince Everchosen. Be'lakor wasn't an Everchosen, even if Age of Sigmar tries to tell you that he was the first.
 
I mean technically speaking, Be'lakor absolutely was what Everchosen was meant to be. But he got bit too full of himself, so now the Four make do with a mortal follower they bestow their powers upon, to not have a repeat of that fuck up. That he isn't Everchosen is more of a classification issue, as Everchosen are actually a downgrade from what he used to be.
 
The accepted convention is that cereal is eaten with milk.
Some people will react with horror to the very idea. I just never liked milk so I've always eaten them dry.
I'm vegetarian, and pour soya milk over my cereal.
I don't mind dry cereal, but much prefer to sip milk from a separate cup while they're chewed up in my mouth. Works amazing with all kinds of biscuits too, or the really tough bars.

No, I don't accept this. I would like to separate this from my character.

Step by step for your cereal is:

1. Chew up cereal, don't swallow
2. Drink only a little of milk and let it settle in your mouth
3. ???
4. Swallow
5. Repeat to step 1

This is practically just a no for me. The amount of times you have to meticulously drink milk for each spoonful of cereal is a line I'm glad I don't cross.

Too far for me, my line in the sand is other people's leftover cereal milk soup that I pour into a cup to drink.

That sounds unsanitary.
 
I can't believe there was a 1/6 chance that the Tzar would crash into the scene out of nowhere. I have a mental image of him getting on a horse and leaving the instant he heard a fight was brewing on the border.

The guy canonically spent his entire reign playing whack-a-mole with various threats, so it's not out of the question.
 
"Your Majesty, soldiers are gather—"
"I'm already on my horse!"
"But I haven't told you who—"
"Doesn't matter!"

And to be honest, I'm not surprised. We know that whilst he's not highly respected, he does spend a lot of time with his generals, so we can assume he's a military man who loves battle and stuff.

That said, the nicest thing we've ever heard about him is "at least he's not a vampire", so it could have gone either way.

I meant more in the sense that the Four tried a shared Daemon Prince with Be'lakor, but he decided to become a god and the Four were not down for that (which is why he has to crown the Everchosen, to rub it in that he's not the formost servant anymore). So they took the lesson that shared princes are a no-no. (I also assume that there's some time between Be'lakor becoming a Daemon Prince and so thoroughly pissing of the four that they decided never again.)

But in some hypothetically timeline where Be'lakor toed the line (though with Chaos, it's open how possible that is), they might've decided to raise more shared daemon princes. And in that timeline, an Everchosen Daemon Prince would be possible.
 
I want to do the Boyar if we're getting another day. Try to figure out why Forest Spirits seem to be out for him specifically.

I had absolutely no interest in that option until I found out something meta about him, and now I'm conflicted. If I vote for him, it's because I metagamed, so I'm probably not gonna vote for him. Feel bad about that.
 
Ranald actually kind of screwed us over, I think? We had a 50% chance of getting two more actions, which would have probably been the Ice Witches and finding the Boyar judging by the previous vote. Now we'll have to choose.

This just became even more urgent, I think. Had we rolled a 1 to 3 we would have at least had a chance to talk to the Boyar before the fight, maybe. As things stand, if we don't find the Boyar then Kislev's forces will enter the forest one day before he arrives, meaning we'll not get any answers from him until after it's already too late.

The vampire family, yeah.

I'm not voting because of that, just on the basis of trying to figure out what some spirits could possibly want with him.
 
I think we can check that out afterwards—I'd much rather pull in additional Ice Witches. Having a few more of them will make it easier to no-sell what ever it is the spirits are actually trying to do.
Point of order, I doubt the Ice Witches will "no-sell" forest spirits in a magic forests. This is Kislev, but this is the southernmost reaches in the forests. Having firepower on our side is excellent but it's probably not going to shut them down.

Oh I didn't mean to imply that I thought you were voting because of that. I was just saying that I couldn't vote for it because if meta knowledge causes me to change opinion about something then I'm not going to vote for it unless I was going to come to the same conclusion without the meta knowledge.

There's also a chance that the spirits want the Tzar specifically, and not the Boyar. He was one of two choices. So it's possible that he wasn't the main target.

Whilst I think the spirits would go for the Tzar as an opportunity target, they hadn't really been escalating their efforts high or fast enough to specifically ensnare him.

I'm pretty sure the Tzar is only coming as fast as he is because Mathilde raised the alarm? Unless that was part of the plan, which I don't think it was, he can't be the target.

I think that's because they didn't intend to go this fast until Mathilde scryed on Drycha. My theory is that they were going somewhat slow and building up to something, but since they were found out they decided to ahead and lay the trap right now rather than later.

My feeling is that if they snipe a Boyar, the Tzar will come knocking, and therefore they'll get both of them. It's a possibility. It's not like we know what they're here for.
